I'm happy to share that this bad boy is returning to it's rightful owner, I pick it up on 1/25!
After multiple stints in other rides, AMG GTS, BMW M4, C7 Z06, I'm really excited to get back into the Nismo 370Z for a 3rd time (2nd time for this specific car). Fortunately the car has been owned by responsible individuals who didn't ruin the integrity of the build. It seems the Forum is pretty dormant nowadays, but thought I'd share publicly of my new acquisition of an old toy! |

Better yet, with the list of car he went onto, and still got love for the Z (although he went back to his own creation)…Lifetime needs to make a movie on this haha.

It's not new. Every time I sold one of my older Z's (260z or 280z) within a year I needed another one. I still have one today. My 1975 280zt. It's a love/hate relationship with that car. Still won't sell it though. LOL

What I have missed most about the car is the ability to work on it easily. Most of the other cars I have owned were too complex or expensive to work on so even for general maintenance I would take to a specialty shop. When I sold the Z, I didn't realize how much I would miss just going out to the garage and tinkering with it. I did indeed miss the analog/manual/raw feel of the driving experience as well. This car is slower than my daily driver, an FPACE SVR, however it is far more of an experience to drive on a back road. My C7Z06 was a manual transmission, full bolt-on cammed car making 700+whp, and was certainly raw. It felt like you were driving a NASCAR around town. It was just too fast/capable for the street to drive/enjoy at the level the Z can provide. The Nismo Z is just an exceptional value, and under appreciated drivers car IMO. Sometimes you don't know what you have, until it's gone. I already have placed a large order with Z1 for some more goodies for the car and I can't wait to work on it getting it ready for the driving season! |

Buddy’s E90 M3’s battery died. He had to have it towed to dealership because re-coding is required (to tell the car battery is new, so it’ll adjust charging to not overcharge). I just ain’t about that life. I gave up hope on ever getting a European car.

I fall into that camp too. I had a 2015 Sport Coupe for a few years, then sold it. I got the bug again in September and found a 2019 Roadster with 5,000 miles on her. Life is good!

Welcome back! Didn't regret selling our Z's but I did get back in one almost an exact year later lol. I sold the last Z to basically someone of my choice. I had offers much higher than the person I sold it to. I knew they would take care of it. We also verbally agreed if ever sold that I would get first dibs on it. Hopefully if or when that time comes I have space for it.
