Excited 40th Anni Owner
 

Hi everyone...new member here. I picked up my Z last night.

As soon as I noticed the little 40th Anniversary section of nissanusa.com I signed up for updates/literature. I didn't hear anything for a while, but one day noticed that it was a "build your own" option. I immediately emailed 5 dealerships to try and reserve one.

One dealership contacted me saying there weren't any in IL, but they found three in St. Louis.

Long story short, my dealer traded an Armada for it. It was trailered to me with only 9 miles on the clock!

I requested the dealer not prep it for me. I'm an amateur detailer and wanted to do it myself. Consequently, as far as I can tell (haven't looked really well) there aren't any scratches/swirls yet.

I've only driven it the 2 miles home so far. Need to get a clear bra installed before I go too crazy.

On to the pics....Adam

- 9.3 miles! I'm pretty sure that means I'm the only non-employee that's driven it.

Congrats and welcome aboard! That interior color grows on me all the time! :tup:

Badass man! Grats! Saw one in person Sat and it looks good :tup: Love the color too!

That note is perfect btw, all dealers should use those.

EDIT: Speaking of the seats, they look MUCH better in person.

Yeah, the seat color is a bit out there...but I'll get used to it. I love the note too, they were all giving me crap about it. Like "Yeah, we get a guy like you every once in a while, but hey it's your car..."

All good

Congrats on the new purchase. I haven't seen the 40th in GA yet, but I don't see a lot of 370Z's period in GA. That makes it even better.

I want to do the same thing as you if I ever get mine! Keep their detailers away! hahaah good job! Congrats, its a great looking car

That's the note I have in the GTR...lol

Reminds me of The Hangover, back away old man, don't even look at it.

Congrats on your 40th!! The car looks much better in person, doesn't it?

I like the note too...almost thought about doing the same thing, but figured I'd let it be. I don't have much luck with no front plate and police around here.

Anyway...ENJOY and WELCOME!!

I love that red interior

Congrats! You have one of the rarest cars around! :tup:

wow awesome, Ive been gone too long to see this beautiful new 40th edition gorgeous car! I love the red interior bet it looks awesome more pictures of the car!

Awesome! I've always had a think for the red interior! Congrats and welcome!

Congrats!

Now get us some more pics, out in the sunlight!

:tup:

Have no fear, I'm a picture-whore. Going to be busy for a couple days, but after that it's on!

These pictures make me wish I had waited for a 40th anniversary edition 370z. I absolutely love the color combination!!

But when I look back on the past 10 months of ownership, I don't regret getting PW at all.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the site! :tup:

Thanks a lot...I was going to get a Pearl White if I couldn't get the 40th.

Very nice!!! Looking forward to some pics of it detailed!!! What products are you going to use? I'm thinking Poorboy's Nattys blue would look great on the 40th quartz.

I pick mine up late April..ahh can't wait.

MAN I WISH AUSSIE DEALERS WOULD GIVE US INTERIOR COLOUR CHOICE.

sorry for screaming but i really did scream that... that interior looks awesome... and the red stitching... so awesome...

I'd be prepared to do a lot of nasty things to be able to get the light grey interior in my car... =(

Very nice car Adam! The red leather is almost as nice as orange... :) Where in Chicagoland are you?

Love the note haha, congrats on the purchase!

I love the note!!! Good for you!

I'd kill for that interior on my solid red Z any day of the week...

nav?
 

Hey man. I have one that has just arrived. Picking it up next week. (It arrived while i was on vacation, how bad is that!!?)

My biggest issue is that it doesn't have the nav. Have you found any good/seamless workarounds? Can't live w/ out my nav...

This thread needs more pics!!!

Congrats! The red interior looks great :tup:

Congrats man you have the only 40th I like. Don't know if its the best pictures I've seen or what, but I like it
