Thumbs up New Z for all to see-

What's up fellas! New to the boards, and I must say that some of you guys have really badass cars here. I've really been enjoying the pics and posts so far.

I come from the world of Honda 4 cylinder engines and this whole 2 extra pistons thing is kinda new and strange, so forgive the occasional idiotic question.

At any rate, here are a few pics from a shoot a couple of weekends ago.. -I am actually showing this car at Hot Import Nights on May 1st and have a few more tricks for it coming in soon, so I'll take more pics then and they'll be posted on my website as well, as soon as I get some time.

If you live in the area and you can make it out on May 1st, come on by and check it out! -It'd be nice to have more Z fans out there.














+Upgrades and Modifications:
2003 Nissan 350Z Track Edition
Brembo Brakes
Rays Engineering Forged 18" Wheels
Stillen Twin Screw Style Supercharger
AEM Cold Air Intake
Nismo Stainless Steel Headers
Nismo Catback Exhaust
Stillen Aluminum Flywheel
Eibach Pro Springs
Carbon Fiber Engine Shroud, Fuse and Battery Cover
Nismo Oil and Radiator Caps
Stillen Carbon Fiber Hood
Wings West Full Body Kit
Wings West Carbon Fiber Monopod Wing
Z Tire Stem Caps
Z Plate Frame
Nismo 4 Point Harnesses
In-dash 7" LCD Screen with chipped Xbox (for the show - I may not keep it this way)



Quick question.... Does anyone else get that look that I do while driving around town --> WTF IS THAT THING?!

lol


enjoy the pics!

haha oh man.. this is where it gets krazy.. I took it to the track last week and had the most horrible start in history!! lol I had a full 2 seconds of wheel spin and spun them all the way until 3rd gear!

I only ran a 14.3@103mph and was outrun dare I say it, by a honda civic! He ran a 14.1@97mph He did have HUGE slicks which I will be getting soon myself, so I can hopefully get it down to around 12's. It also was a really hot day and my supercharger was about to melt the engine, -so I will be getting an intercooler and alcohol/water injection also to spare the life and get more power.

This car without VDC on is a donut makin machine! It's insane. In fact, I want to mod the VDC light to read "ARE YOU CRAZY"

lol

I hate to be brutally honest but:

1-Wing needs to go. That look you're getting from people may not be what you think.

2-You need an intercooler. Especially since summer is coming

3-The body kit is too busy. Too many lines, it ruins the Z's smoothness.

These are just my opinion

Other than that its a hot car, enjoy it!

That wing reminds me of seeing a bad accident. you just have to take a peek and then you wish you didn't.

You just came from the honda world yet say somethign like that? Im guessing you had either a riced up civic or a stock DX/EX with intake on it

my old civic would milk your 350Z with ease so don't go bashes the hondas since you "changed sides" I've seen 4cly hondas in person put out more WHP then any 350Z I've ever seen or heard of online!


car looks good over all but Im not really a fan of the wing or the stock track wheels "look nice on stock car" but in your case you need some aftermarket wheels

I could have sworn that I've seen your car before...
Did you have it up for sale on Ebay awhile back? I think the person was selling it because they were going through a divorce or something...
That Wings West pod wing is hard to forget .
