1. Cory (Hilo)
2. 2008, PPW
3. Aside from the added features of the Nismo, Wet Okole seat covers, Nismo Shift ****, 10" Basslink w/ Kenwood Deck and MB Quarts. Nothing major. Waiting till warranty runs out.
Not too many Hilo people on here. I see quite a bit zoomin around now days.
Had it for about a year and a half. Nothing's changed externally so here she is.

Brah...most the heavily modded Zs around here are not DDs. Some of us really don't have time to cruise around even on weekends; since, I'm not single family time/SUV takes priority. Hell, I don't think I even started the Z up since Last Thursday. I TRY to atleast drive it once a week or gets some Z/garage time

Yeah, it's pretty rare that you see everyone out and about. I live here and rarely see someone I know out. Like silkz03 said, time is also of incredibly limited supply. I'm lucky to have half a day of free-time a week. On top of that, mine is a garage queen for sure. The Evo bears the brunt of the driving duties since it is just wayyy easier to run around in. You have to come in for a show or cruise...

Hey guys,
Names Cruzie
I'll be in Oahu starting August
'03 Base - Le Mans Sunset (her name is Penny)
Only had her for 6-ish months so I haven't done as much as I would like to have done yet, but so far she has:
Powertrain:
JWT Pop Charger intake system
Powerlab 3/8 intake plenum spacer
Megan Racing headers
Strup test-pipes
*ISIS true-dual cat-back exhaust system
Drivetrain:
Nismo 4-way adjustable short shifter
Brakes:
Akebono 370z sport package retro-fit w/ Rotora slotted/cross-drilled rotors
Exterior:
'08 Nismo wheels (gunmetal)
JDM clear LED taillights
S2000 stubby antenna (Lol, does that count?)
Interior:
Few Nismo dress-up items here and there
ICE:
Kenwood head unit (forgot the model), double din touch screen w/ ipod, nav, blu-tooth, and all that jazz
Kenwood/Pioneer speakers/tweeters in doors and rear
Kenwood Amp/12' Subwoofer
I plan on doing a lot more mods, I'm just waiting on a pay raise from the USAF lol...
Pics will come later, when I'm NOT browsing my350z from my work computer

can i play with you guys? '73 240z. most of the work was done by a coworkers friend about 15 years ago. paint/body was done at united auto body. built for autocross, but he moved to the mainland and ended up selling it to my coworker. after a couple years, my coworker wanted to concentrate on his vw bug, so he sold it to me about 6 months ago.
lots of things have been done, (a lot of which i still haven't found out about yet). main stuff:
L28 from a 280z (not sure what's done internally)
4 pt cage
recaros
ssr reverse mesh
stuff i plan to do/add:
cusco f&r strut tower bars
watanabe rs8's or ssr longchamps
jdm fender mirrors
powdercoat all suspension
MAYBE zg flares (don't really want to butcher my cherry fenders)
either triple webers (have em in my apt) or rb25 swap
not sure which which way i want to go with the motor. rb swap would be absolutely animal, but it would take away the nostalgic aspect of it. still on the fence about it. what do you guys think?
glad to find some local z guys.
