Hello Everyone Happy New Year
Just purchased a 2012 Nismo 370Z. It has been through freshwater flood damage salvage rebuild title... Everything checked out inspection wise..
I ended up trading my 335i 2010 with 40k miles + $3000 cash for my Z 2012 Nismo with 19.5k Miles.. (Covered all sales tax and title fees)
My BMW trade valued around $20,000 but talked the guy into $22,000 for my car and the dealership had the Nismo listed for $28,500 and I chewed up him good because of the salvage title.
I never owned a salvage car but fell in love with the styling of the Z so at the end of the day i just had to have it. Also got a Full 1 year warranty.
Anything I should look for with flood damage? Any Locals in the area with a NISMO that we could compare? I'm in NY 11756
Ive owned about 15 cars.. Comming from my last one a 335i with FBO and Stage 2 turbos/ tune making about 500 WHP.. The Z is a bit sluggish so any advice and experience on what to mod/ not to waste my time with is appreciated.
Fav car owned was my S2000... I might get killed for saying that on a Nissan forum
=)
I have already purchased Stillen header / Art Pipe
Takeda CAI and Catback...
Nothing installed.. too cold here..
Im an engineer and always looking to make things better.. i will try to do what motor dyne and z1 have done to the intake plenum.. I will let you all know how I make out with it and offer it to the forum at a much cheaper cost then those companies and hopefully improve on what they have.
Thanks for reading
John
