First time Z owner

TipsZ · 03-02-2009, 12:35 PM

Hello all. I recently won a Nissan 370z from Best Buy / EA Sports Need for Speed game. Actually, the vehicle has not been shipped to my local Nissan dealer yet, however they did tell me today that it should be in the next few weeks. I am excited about owning the new Z. Off hand does anyone know what mods they would add to the car right off the bat? Perhaps a chip upgrade or something of that nature?

Look around this great site. Lot of guys have ideas and have already begun to make changes...Check out DDMotorsports.

Congrats on the car. Can't think of a better way to get this car than to win it in a contest...well, maybe if someone else bought it and paid the taxes!

TipsZ · 03-02-2009, 06:48 PM

Thanks!! I just talked to the Best Buy rep again, and she mentioned that I will be assessed the taxes for next year... thus I guess I can put back the money I was going to borrow from my 401k to pay for them. HA

I finally received the vehicle. It is Pearl White with Persimmion Leather interior, Touring Model with Sports Package. The only thing it does not have is the Nav System.

Yeah .. I am in Tampa ... thus my name .. Tampa Tip. Gotta still get Tint on it .. tonight in fact .. starting to get the mod bug as well ... so we shall see how she progresses. I would like to get her Dyno'd before I do any engine / exhaust / intake mods as a base line. Anyone know where I can get that done? Also, how much should I expect for it to set me back?

Nice car man! I also like the random GTR in the background.
