I like the Z a lot it is a nice ride and it's pretty fast. Also gets the chicks more!!!!!
Yeah if anyone is in the sacto/sf area, let me know when the meets are, I want to meet up with some of you. Need someone to check out my exhaust to see if its normal cause I think it is loud as hell.

btw: it didn't effect the gas milage much.
Hey guys,
Name is Drew and new to the forums thing... Located In 925 in San Ramon. Anyone know of any good tune shops that could help me tune my TN kit? I'm going to get my kit installed soon as I'm done with this damn deployment in iraq. Just would like to know some places that I could count on for tuning 350z's. Thanks

well I thought I might introduce myself to the Bay area as it is my new home.
I just moved to Walnut Creek from Wisconsin, so its pretty much a night and day difference.
I love the area so far, it is very beautiful and warm (relative to where I come from).
I drive an SB 03 Z which I unfortunately had to leave in WI for the time being as I wasnt going to drive it accross a snow filled west. I will probably fly back to get it in the spring. (it is being kept in a heated garage in Madison)
Or if I can find a good deal on getting it shipped out here I will do that, any suggestions?
Anyway, I don't know a lot of people around here obviously so if anyone else lives near me and wants to show me around feel free to drop me a line

Hi,
Just finished the first week with my new '06 Silverstone Roadster Enthusiast. Can't get the grin off my face. I've spent the last ten years driving the family truck and while I loved my previous convertibles, '69 Firebird and '73 Spitfire, and even my '87 MR2, my new Z tops them all, by a longshot.
First job is to replace the stereo and suggestions are appreciated. I'm not looking to break the bank or compete with my home system. Just quality sound at volume.
Looking forward to seeing and meeting you in San Jose.

Sup guys, long time lurker, just finally got my Z recently. Got a good deal on a '06 Black Touring /w Nav. After almost 10+ years of driving a beat up Accord (4th person handed down to!) /w no a/c, power anything.., and a hamster on a wheel for an engine, I'm still finding it hard to believe I finally have my dream car
Anyways, see a bunch of SS Z's around, not too many Black ones, so it's all good... huge pain the @$$ to keep clean though, but it's ok, the sexy stuff in life is always high maintenance I suppose

I'm Ned from San Jose. I have a metallic black '06 grand touring roadster with Nismo components (bronze wheels, exhaust and suspension). A Varis air duct and burnt orange leather seats. I have a Seibon VS front lip on order. Guess I needed "some" rice. See you's.
