New to the Board

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 07:04 PM

Picked up my Silver Nismo last week and been looking for a board since then. This one really seems positive, I don't mind the occasional hazing but some people are just A-holes.

Anyway, I can't wait to mod it up. I've owned a F360 Spider, an M6, a couple M3's and a 996 Turbo. Why go for the Z, I've been watching the boards for the last 6 months and like all the feedback, really want a Builder Tuner car so went for the Z. Tired of all the Euro BS (pricey mechanics, crazy mod prices and nose in the air attitude)

Anyone know of any meets in the local area? Say the OC, CA area?

I'm a former sportbike guy so looking forward to tweaking a car like I tuned all the GSXR's, Duc's and others in the day.

Welcome. But you dumped that much more for a Nismo when you plan on doing work? Interesting...

theDreamer · 11-01-2009, 07:09 PM

Welcome, nice past collection, hope to see some nice upgrades by the sound of what you want to do.

Welcome aboard, but I agree with the above.

Welcome to the board. There is a lot of good information here and always remember to try a search before posting just because a lot of questions have routinely been answered multiple times.

Being that your a bike guy, be sure to stop in here Calling all Bikers!!! and post up your GSX-R.

Also feel free to post up some of your other rides, I'm sure we'd all love to see them as well as your new Nismo.

I know what your saying and was thinking the same thing when I bought it but I really fell in love with the look. Some of the strings aren't into it much but for me its not so much $ as it is how much I like the design. Lame I know but cars are all about the passion for me anyway.

I went in for the GTR, I'm sorry to say I didnt care for the style. I'll get all types of sh$% for this statement but I liked this one better and it was $40K less.

I just want something to trick out but I dont want to deal with ground effects and paint..

theDreamer · 11-01-2009, 07:18 PM

I can understand that completely with the GT-R, the new one is a great car but the style is hit or miss with most. Either you love it or you instantly pass over it, and I can see buying the Nismo for the looks.

Actually you won't get too much **** here for wanting a Z over a GTR just in that a lot of people are turned off by the fact that the GTR practically drives itself while the Z still leaves a bit more rawness to it. Although I can't say I've driven a GTR before so I make this statement just based off of what I've heard. Regardless of it all, it's about what moves you and if thats the Nismo then thats all that matters.

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 07:21 PM

Very cool the quick replies. Current stable includes a full size rover with some upgrades, a Rover sport with black rims and my bikes. Sold 4 of my cooler bikes to buy the 360 and biggest mistake I have ever made. Loved and hated that car, won't do it again! I'll post some pics once the Z gets some mods....can't wait! Just need all the parts I need.

Noted on the search, will do! I made that mistake on another board but I'm sticking with this one.

Thanks for the kind welcome.

theDreamer · 11-01-2009, 07:24 PM

Make sure you to hit up the member's journal section and start a thread for your car, will be nice to see some of your progress and maybe post of your current & past cars.

Togo · 11-01-2009, 07:25 PM

Since your Nismo, you should also check it out in here...

HAHA

I made a simular statement on another site and some jerk plugged in that you'd be an idiot not to take a GTR. I drove it, very quick and shifting was better then any of my F1 type of cars but it was too refined. I like the ferrari for its harsh and raw feel but HATED my M6 as it reminded me of a family car with 500HP, plus I couldnt stand the looks.

I'm so tempted to pull this car apart to the frame but then I remembered its not a bike and I'm having a hell of a time finding cool parts for it. Maybe I should of bought a regular Z as parts are plentiful for that one..

theDreamer · 11-01-2009, 07:28 PM

If you want to see what a Z to the bones looks like, look of Forged Performance Z or Travisjb.
Both have stipped a Z, travisjb is currently working on his cage.

The parts are the same for either Nismo edition Z or regular Z. Except for lip kits
