Yep, power, suspension, etc. will work for both the coupe and the Nismo.

There's a place out here called DC Motors, they have a site DC Motorcars :: Orange County :: Ferrari :: Lamborghini :: Bentley :: Porsche :: Hummer. Gave me the M6 for a really good price, much less then they were going for so I bought it knowing that I could sell it for even $ if I didnt like it. That's what I did, broke even and had it for 3 months. Car feels huge when you drive it. Sold it, hung onto the 996 Turbo for a while then the 360

Why the two rovers, wife loves them and I go snowboarding every weekend in the mountains, needed a comfortable 4x4

Hey BLUE660, just noticed you still have the Gallardo? How many miles have you racked up? I've always avoided them because of all the clutch issues, how's yours been treating you?

He only drives it when it's sunny... he's a bit of a queen like that

Hey, welcome to the boards! I'm in the OC too...have a red non-Nismo 370z

I live like 5 minutes from DC Motorcars haha...pass it every day on my way to work.

Good to see another local (to me) join the fun!

He just keeps it in a garage and wipes it daily with a diaper.

Very cool! I live in Carbon Canyon. If you guys ever do a bike meet sort of thing I'd like to meet up. I'm a bit older them most I suppose but love cars just the same. Miss the old bike nights...just trying to stick with 4 wheels now.

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 08:10 PM

I know the feeling with the diaper, that's why I want a car I dont have to stress over. Funny story is my wife couldnt understand why I went for a Z, had it for 3 days now she keeps borrowing it...its a blast! My first job was at Nissan in CO, the day the new 300Z hit was a dream for me, I hoped one day I could afford one as I was a lot porter/assist mechanic....perhap's that why this car meant so much for me to buy.

congrats. Throw up some pics when you can

motoextreme · 11-01-2009, 08:23 PM

Still pretty low. I bought my 360 Spider with only 1200 miles. It was an 02 but perfectly loaded. Did a ton of research on lambo's first but all of the ads said NEW CLUTCH but only 3-4K miles. I know its only 8 grand for a clutch but I didnt want the hassle. Funny thing is I spent 3 times that on my 360 with BS repairs and I only put 3k miles on it. Bought a bright orange gallardo used, had it for a day and forced the dealer to take it back, E gear slipped the very next day, awesome car but I like to drive to much to watch it age in my garage and not use it all the time.

only 8K for a clutch.....
