So...
After driving for like 2 years a 2005 350z base model With Stillen SC stg. 4, i decided to say goodbye to that awesome car. This was 5 speed auto. I bought this not new with 28k miles on it.
Well, this happened on feb 02 this year.
On March with no key in my pocket i said nismo time!. I took my phone and called from Lima to the US to pre-ordered a NEW 2013 Nismo lol don't even know what number will be
It's been already 5 months since the first time i did the 1st call. It is suppose that mid of July the 2013 arrives from Japan to the Us and it will be delivered to BP (My dealer) on the 1st week of August.
From just buying a car i ended modifying alot...
My Z will be packed with:

My Tuned Z will arrive in September. Can't think about the Z because time is poison...
Now that you read this maybe you will be asking yourself why the **** all this for and why not i haven't touch the engine for more power???
Let me tell you:
1st. The 350z that i had was the 1st powerful car with over 43x hp but it was auto...was really fun but tasteless and boring
2nd I can't just add a TT to deal with 600HP RWP (i want it...) on this nismo because i never drove a manual sport car beside an eclipse 3.8 GT 08'
3rd I must know my car first before adding more power.
4th Another reason is the taxes here. You guys are really lucky somehow because when you import anything auto part from the US i gotta add 43%+18% over those numbers. Beside this my currency is almost 3 times which means $ 1.00 = S/. 2.68. So when the car arrives to the port everything will be installed and no extra cost. (27% more of taxes based on the invoce)
I got 2 questions that roams my head
1. Is really necessary to get an oil cooler for my Z??? This car going to be a street daily driving. I was going to pick the Ae cooler but they said it is not for sale anymore
2. I chose the stillen G3 but i could change my mind to get the Super Induction Titanium Kit w/ Carbon Shroud and Suction Pipe from Top secret. Don't know if spending like 2 grand for 2 pieces of tubes will improve something comparing the G3.
Haven't decide what suspension get (I must have 5.9 inches height because of the stupid speed bumpers)
This is for now, i will post pics later
Tell me what you think
PLEASE If you wanna give me an advice go ahead
If you gonna troll this better keep it to yourself.
