Just got my first Z car, and i am 17 years old, it was a graduation gift from my parents and i know that i am very fortunate to have this vehicle at this age. New to the forum and the z car, would appreciate any advice.

Keep VDC on.:tiphat:

Biggest piece of advise. Don't think you can drive better than you can. This car can get away from you if you're hot-dogging it. Not saying that you would, but I would've at 17. :driving:

You can learn a lot on here. Some from other's misfortunes and a lot just from good old info-swapping.

Did you already add all of the extra body work or did you buy it that way?

Lucky, lucky.

Drive safely...

Be careful if the temp goes below 50 on summer tires :)

Enjoy it and welcome!

SPOHN 02-21-2011 06:37 PM

Be careful! When I was that age there was no way I could be trusted or handle the responability of this car. Welcome to the site.

TheGreatOne 02-21-2011 07:09 PM

Congrats on the ride...

I just picked one up myself. However, makes you wonder what your next car will be, can't move down now man lol.

But no worries about the next car, enjoy this on and good job getting good grades!

Tward 02-21-2011 07:11 PM

Thanks for the welcome from everybody, and i bought the 370 that way. The previous owner bought the touring package then added the nismo body kit on afterwards. And i will try to keep it under control, i have already had some fun in it, i love the car already.

Congrats! Nice First Car! Be careful. My dad was nice enough to get me an AWD Turbo Eclipse, and then I got a speeding ticket (60 in a 30), their went the car. Then I got a Sweet Purple Saturn SL1 5spd, crank windows, no air. :facepalm:

Father +1
me = 0

Chrome on any 370 is a bit of a tall order as it cheapens the car a bit.

Tward 02-28-2011 04:17 PM

Thanks
 
Thanks for the pictures, i like the first one a lot. I have the 370z touring with the nismo body kit, but my fang on the front bumper doesnt look like that one, do u have any idea on what they did too it?

Most likely they painted that area flat/matte black. Could also be a vinyl wrap. Check out the DIY section.

Tward 02-28-2011 06:10 PM

K, thanks. And has anyone seen a portion of the nismo front lip painted black on a silver car?

Unless the whole body was chrome.
