New to me 2014 with 10k miles
 
Hi all, glad to be here! I've had my 370Z 6MT a month now, and it's doing great. I put 1500 miles on it in 3 days, and it performed without a hitch.

It's a Base model, so of course the stereo looks like it's from an Isuzu truck, and the big leather door on the dash is a bit stark, but I got a good deal and I was happy to find a manual at a local dealer with low miles and good price.

My ONLY gripe is the high engagement point of the clutch pedal. I’ve read about the spring, adjustment, the RJM pedal, etc. Still unsure what to do, as I can't install that pedal without risking injury to my neck.

“In the mail” I have a spoiler, post-MAF tubes with K&N, and Berk HFC’s. :happydance:

I detail cars as a hobby, and just finished a full paint correction on the Z. It had some bad etching from dealer parking lot abuse, and scratches typical of improper washing and drying techniques. It finished up very well.

Past Nissans are Pathfinder and Maxima (loved it, but hated the torque steer). Past Others are 4 VW's, Porsche 911, Acura MDX, Firebird, Cutlass.. yes I'm old. :tiphat:

So, thanks for having me. I’ll have some questions about upgrades and whatnot, as most noobs do.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum:tiphat:

If you're looking to upgrade your brake rotors, I've got a brand new set of slotted StopTech rotors (rears only) for the base model.

Grats!
Lol I can relate on the base model radio issue.. It didn't take long for me to order an upgrade. I didn't want to spend a bunch on anything too extravagant. I ended up getting a Sony 6in touch screen for under $200. It highly improved the look of the interior.

Coming from a Honda Civic si, I can relate to the clutch thing too. I'm still getting used to it .

Hello & welcome,
I think it's about time to start a seniors club! :bowrofl:
We can talk about what ailes us, what Meds we take & the latest senior discounts that are available!

Kidding! It's great to be old!
