New Z owner NorCal
 

Hey guys, just wanted to give an introduction. I started out with a 2004 Infiniti G35 a few years back, which I loved.

I ended up selling it for a Toyota Corolla, which I regretted soon after :shakes head:

Since then, I've had a 2006 STI, 2007 STI (ringland problems 3 times), and 2012 WRX Wagon. I sold the WRX to buy my finance her dream SUV and I was stuck driving the corolla. I started to miss driving a manual car with rear wheel drive. I started looking at the G35 again, but it looks kind of dated now, so I tried the g37, but it just doesn't seem as nice. I just happened to take a glance at the 370z and noticed how much nicer it was compared to the 350z.

I went to kill time before a friends birthday dinner and went to Nissan for fun. I ended up buying a 2013 370z base w/Sports Package 6MT. Let's just say, it's a GREAT change from the Corolla. I've already been doing research and the mod bug is starting to bite. Can't wait to see what this site has to offer and the people on it. :tup:

Let me be the first NorCal member on this forum to welcome you! I purchased mine back in March on an impulse and have no regrets. Only thing I would have done differently is gone with a sport package in MB.

This forum will help you out a lot as it has with me. I came from a VW with no modding experience minus intake/exhaust and am learning so much (by spending too many work hours on this site lol)

Grats and welcome! (One might say, welcome back after the corolla!)

Wel-come to the club ... :hello:

Congrats & Welcome, don't forget the pics while it's still stock :icon17:

Welcome!

Thanks guys. Yeah I'll try to take pictures of it before I start modding things. I'm already trying to decide if I should redo the sound system or get the CBE. =D Having only four speakers suck, but an exhaust would be nice too.

awesome, welcome to the family

Welcome....

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, from NorCal too :)

Hi

I'm out in Rocklin, CA. Its nice to see people in NorCal on here.

Welcome

Welcome. I drive an '09 MB and live in Manteca. We should organize a tri-valley meet sometime.

welcome bro!!! in this site you are going to find a really nice people and everything that you have to know for your 370z. Trust me i learn a lot here ;) if you have any question about your Z post a thread and you see!!! We hope to see pics soon :)

Nice story and how you acquired your Z!

Yep this is key to everything! One of the reasons I LOVE my Miata so much is Miatanet.com. Myself looking forward to same from the370z.com.

So I broke my promise to myself of keeping the car stock until after I got married. Just got some springs and wheels for it now and saving up for an exhaust. This is all I'm allowed to do until after we get married >.< Here are some pictures =D

It seems so cool...

looks great bro!!! i said the same hahahahah!!!

Haha Thanks. Just ordered my exhaust the other day. Can't wait for it to come in.

great!!!

wow that looks neat man! congrats!

I had a black '99 Camaro Z28 for 12 years. I drove that car into the ground at ~210K miles whereupon the emerging onslaught of weird $1000+ repairs made it too expensive to continue driving. Before that I drove an '86 Nissan Maxima into the ground at ~237K miles whereupon the engine burst into flames when I tried to start it one day. Loved both cars to death. Figured buying a 370z combines the best of both cars but I'm still haggling and maneuvering my way to actually purchasing one. Your car looks great!

Pics look great, and your exhaust sounds amazing. As good if not better than the FI setup in my opinion. Also, this dude can f*'in drive!!!


Oh, also, by the way, I think your calipers look absolutely horrible and I'm such a nice guy, I'd be willing to trade you for mine so that you can go back to stock BBS's, because in no way do your calipers match my car and lug nuts perfectly.
