Returning Z Owner - Kali

Mecinoid · 09-16-2021, 06:58 AM

Well, glad to be back in a Z again. So much fun to drive a small yet spirited car. Yeah it makes a little noise. I have a fix for that.

The nice things about the car is I do not think I will upgrade the stereo. The Bose system is pretty good for me expecially with the sub-woofer in the back.

I did buy the license plate light with camera intergrated and have a rearview monitor going in.

I still had my Z Mat from previous Z car so just dropped that in.

Car is just about perfect the way it is for me.

Took off 370Z badge and installed the Z portion over the rear Nissan Emblem like my last car.... cleans it up. Will install CF inserts into Nissan Badge. That will make it pop.

Nice caddy carrier for drinks, discs and USB sticks from last Z.

Pretty much all it needs except I might install LED lights in floor wells cubby and glove box.

Cheap mods... Not much else needed as I will not race this car. I have a SC Pontiac Firebird that has 1.0g suspension that serves me well in that regard.

I am a hobby racer. So, I do not need a 1000HP car.

Around town the Z will treat me well.

I think this is my seventh Z now. '83, '84, '84,'86, 2004,2011,2016. Yeah, I think that all.

Plan on going to many Z events over the next few years. I really missed those rallies etc...

When I get a chance I will post up my new Z and one of the Z events in SF from 2005 etc...

Welcome back,
You’re about the 3rd or 4th person to get back in a Z in as many months!

Welcome back to the 370Z forums. Enjoy driving your Z!! I am seeing more people get back into a Z recently it’s good to see.

Welcome back!

welcome back and I see your a Z lover from all that you have had...

I have always loved my Z's. I have owned higher horsepower cars and always come back to the Z for the fun and handling. Even stock form they are amazing and cost 1/3 of what the monster cars cost. Mileage is a plus on a daily driver.

Oh, yeah... I will get that C8 soon enough. But, I will keep the Z as a daily driver. It is just enough fun without getting in real trouble. More power than 90% but easy to use daily.

Glad to be back and having a lot of fun in my pearl white 370Z. So beautiful !!!!
I just sit in the garage with a beer sometimes and look at my White Stallion

I don't think we have to welcome you back. With all those past Zs, you really never left.
Enjoy the new one!

Welcome back.

Continue enjoying the drive.
