Default OZ_kidd Nismo #0299---"Jezebel"

Since everyone has their own thread for their cars might as well have my own too. I also named my car Jezebel. Why? I believe the name came from the bible as the ***** of Babylon. I will probably spend more money on her in the future. She is my second wife.


My Story:
I always wanted to get a Nismo 350z since in college. The first time I saw the car was in Best Motoring International on youtube and I fell in love with it. I liked the part about being stock and has the capability to do track and street. The whole car is race inspired from JGTC Autech 350z. From that point, I said to myself that I will get that car when I get my first job out of college. I wanted to find more information about this car so I joined my350z back in 2008. I found lots information about the car here and lurked furthermore without really posting anything. After graduation, I decided to buy my home, got married later that year, and kept looking for that car. Three years later, my search has ended. A pikes peak white 2007 Nismo 350z just appeared on nowhere online and it got me excited. The car had about ~9,200 miles on the odometer and it was located all the way from Illinois. I jumped the gun and bought it finally. Now I have a big hole in my pocket !

Cliff Notes:
-Saw a white Nismo on youtube while in college back 2007.
-Decided thats the car for him to buy in the future.
-Joined my350z in 2008 for more info and lurked.
-Bought a house and got married, but still missing the car.
-Found a low mileage PPW Nismo in Illinois and bought the car after a 3-year search.


If you forgot this was my intro here:
https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...new-owner.html


What I have done so far is remove front license plate bracket and made a plug to cover up the ugly. Sorry didnt make DIY, I felt that it was too simple for one.

BEFORE:


AFTER:





I'm in the process of making a man cave in my garage. So my wife bought me an air compressor for my birthday and finally had the chance to install it. I did all the wiring from the circuit breaker box to an outlet.

Its a Kobalt 60 gallons 3.7HP. The link: http://www.lowes.com/pd_221565-14989...7C1&facetInfo=

Cograts and way to keep your priorities. I'm not a fan of front license plates. When I get home I'll take care of mine.

Life is all about making dreams happen.

I've always said,if you can dream it,you can do it.
If you did'nt realize &get your dream,you did'nt want it

Welcome and Congrats!
Very quickly, you bought a car and then your wife went and bought you a gift for your car? You sir are one lucky man.. I can only imagine how many wives complained about having spent so much money on a car..forget about gifting you something for the car!

Welcome and good choice in color!

So what projects, if any, are you looking at for the car, aside from building your man cave? Don't forget the:
