4th Z and still loving it... :)

Reaper333 · 12-13-2011, 09:07 AM

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here. Im a regular on 350zmotoring and my350z but, Im new here. Ive been taking notes down and reading all the threads I can to get ideas for modding.

This will be my 4th Z. Im hooked on Zs I guess. I started with a 300ZX then from there I got a 2004.5 Pikes Peak White 350Z then to a 2007 Solar Orange 350Z. Now, its a 2009 Chicane Yellow 370Z touring with sports package and nav. Id have to say that this by far is the best that Ive had. Ill just post a link to my gallery if anyone wants to see. I know its stock so not that exciting. But, I love it.

Yeah I know exactly where they are held. Im looking at the link right now. Looks like fun to me. Lots of Z family there. Nice mustang btw. I looked at the new GTs as well but, I couldnt leave the Z behind. Ive been driving Zs since highschool. Yeah, Ill definitely be stopping by to meet everyone on one of these weekends.

It was great. It was a mid year model. Nissan had done some suspension changes due to tire feathering at that time I think. Mine had pretty bad feathering in the front. Nissan actually paid for a set of tires for that car. They also added the knee pads on the center console. I dont recall much else that had changed from the 03 model. It was fun to drive but, the HR came out and I decided that I needed to switch up. So, I sold that one and moved up to my solar orange 07. Now that car seemed so much more refined than my 2004. The 2004 was an enthusiast model and the 2007 was a touring. I was happier with interior in the 07 and also the bump on the hood was cool. Plus the little horsepower bump wasnt bad. Why do you ask about the 2004.5? Do you have one or did you have one?

Dating back to the formation of The370Z.com in late 2008, we had a guy that used to post here that owned a 2004.5. He'd always say "the 2004.5 350Z is F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S." Exactly like that.

Then he asked to be removed from the forum to become a better Christian. Seriously that's why he left.

We've got some characters here.

hehe no I had a 370 and bought a 300zx project car after I got rid of the z34. The 2004.5 350z is an ongoing forum joke though, so I had to ask.

Jeffblue · 12-13-2011, 11:31 AM

was your 300zx a TT or NA?

Reaper333 · 12-13-2011, 11:38 AM

My 300ZX was a turbo model. Wish I still had it because that car was my first.
