I hate planning things way in advance, but I'd certainly entertain the idea.

I have one you can use as long as I remember to bring it. I can put it in the FX tonight while I do the spacer
On another note, I weighed everything, and I lost 150 lbs with all the stuff I will be taking out.

I'm done modding and have been for a while since my set up doesn't/hasn't really changed. My car's been in need of a good tune for both N/A and nitrous.

Rear seat back-55 lbs
rear seat bottom-20 lbs
spare tire-65
jack and tools-10
Only took out stuff was only held in with bolts since it's easy to remove and hard to mess up.

Just test drove this 46k MSRP ugly Vehicle....



But as soon as I was leaving the lot I saw this 40k MSRP Price tag instead..





Turned straight back around and went to park the convertible and got the keys to the Nismo.

The 370z is growing on me, but the 370z Nismo is beautiful imo! It felt FAST, rear end went swirly as soon as I gunned it for a quick second to see how fast it accelerated.

It's nice and all but its not worth no 500$-600$ a month for it to me. And that's just for the base/base+sports package and not the nismo.

Thanks Stu & Eric,

I might have found one, but can't meet with the guy until the morning. He is Valley Ranch.

Q,

Man I like those Nismo 370's alot also, but how come they don't come with nicer rims like the 350's did ?

I wouldn't pick up a payment for that much. Wait until they go down or find one used in a little bit.

Damn that spacer install was a pain. I wish from the beginning I had decided to not do the iso thermal yet.
On a related note, anyone know where to buy specific replacement sockets? My size 10 long socket disappeared into the bowels of my engine compartment and may have come out around Dallas. Probably should have put my belly pan back on to catch it if it fell. Man that was a stressful couple hours...
