If you ever get past the border you should come down To one of our z meets. I have a nexus card but sometimes I get hassled coming back into the USA so I don't go up to van anymore.

^I definitely want to. I go down to Seattle quite a bit with the lady, just get hassled by customs sometimes. It's better now though so I will be heading down more often.

THAT DOES IT!!!! Refuse delivery and take back the GT-R! J/K! That really sucks. I'm sure the wait is killing you. Well, hopefully tomorrow. You should use the delay to get them to throw in something, like lit door sills, or free labour on the GT-R ignition and back up cam install.

This is not their fault and I know it. I won't make them go out of pocket for something out of their control. But it's just frustrating. But I told them... tomorrow at 5pm, I want either the Z or my GTR on the showroom floor for me to drive off in. End of story.

Looking forward to following this build. Love your previous Z

Finally!!!
 

My review and comparison between this and the GTR will come in a week or so, after I get some more seat time in the 370z. This may be interesting...




Sad to let her go...

Nice! Congrats...finally! So, how did you like the drive home?

I'm biting my tongue as it's still early. I'll have a full review and comparison with the GTR in a week or so after I settle into the Z.

Congrats dude! It must really be sad to let the GT-R go, but you have another beast that has yet to be freed ;) Hope you will have more fun this time around. Funny pics btw.

bleh, this is goin to be amazing.

Haha, this is where he posts about his huge disappointment about the Z compared to the GT-R.

:icon18:
And then says he ordered a TT kit and forged internals. :stirthepot:

Different car different pros/cons. The 370 for me is fun to drive as a DD. I've had mine almost two years and have ~36k miles, I've done about two years of track events with the Porsche club at Pacific Raceways and have a real great time on the track as well. The 370Z in my opinion is more fun than what I paid for……great car :tup:

Doesn't everybody? :confused::icon17:

I went SC. :ugh2:

:gtfo2::icon23:

:p

:(
Fine, no cookies for you.

Cookies...:yum:

You whine too much. Ge it? Whine = SC? Get it? whine.....



:icon08: nevermind...

:wtf2:

I liked this thread better when It was about cookies

Nope, staying NA w/this one.

PS--congrats on your new Z man, the 40th color looks great, esp in those pics you posted. :tup:

alot of drama & suspense in this thread...

Yay

Anxiously waiting updates...

best... use... of that... gif...... EVAR :bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

did someone say cookies?!!?!??

:excited:!!!

hahaha, on topic, this looks like it's going to be a killer build. looking forward to the updates!

and are you still going to use the I8TKYO plates? it's not godzilla anymore...

no I8TKYO is cancelled. I just applied for "NITROUZ" as a license plate.....but currently using a generic "370 SFS". Hey at least it's 370...

:tup:

I made that same face on Xmas eve when we went to Ruth's Chris and my steak came out.

Nitrouz, you need to get a plate that says: 370>GTR :)

How's long did it take dealer to install backup camera & how's it working out so far??

loving the backup camera. Plug and play for the 2010 Z's. Install took maybe an hour and a half. It has guidelines too and when I turn the steering wheel, the guidelines turn just like oem Infiniti backup cameras.

So....I really couldn't stand driving a stock car anymore. It's been a full day of stock, and that's too much for me.

Since I'm still waiting on parts from the shipping company, I decided to put on what I have first..... Since the GTR Start Button, Reverse Camera, and Nismo Shift Knob was on already, I just added 2 simple things...

Evo-R CF B-Pillars and Evo-R CF Fang Covers

Very easy to install. I got some of my own 3M double sided tape though. Much stronger and 5 times as wide as the ones Evo-R supplies. Applied it on, used a heat gun to make sure it's as sticky as can be, and goes on perfectly. Fitment is excellent, and I'm very picky. From what I read, the Evo-R rear diffuser is a bit more difficult to go on, so I'm leaving that until later when I have my car on the hoist for the HKS exhaust install.

On the 40th Anniversary Quartz color, the CF pretty much matches up so the CF is not as pronounced as say if you put it on a white or red or blue Z. But it's still nice and subtle, and gives it a splash more flare. With my full CF kit coming, I'm sure it'll be a bit more emphasized later on.

looking good so far.

Must suck having to do your work in a underground parking garage..lol looks amazing btw

It's actually not that bad. I was going to go back to my house (30 min. away) to install stuff, but as this was just a simple thing, I did it in my apartment parkade.

like the cf pieces, the fang cover looks really good on the quartz man!
