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.

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!
