New Z owner in Ft. Wort TX

ephan · 08-21-2011, 12:03 PM

Luckily someone offered to buy my Civic Si Sedan and that gave me enough to go car shopping for my Z. I had such a horrible buying experience trying to get this Z. But who cares

I got it!!!

Question: I only here it when I’m in the garage. When my car is in neutral is making a rattle, but when I step on the clutch it goes away. It not that loud but enough to annoy me. Has anyone come across this?

From this:

To this: Planning to powder coat the wheels soon within the month.

I hardly see that many 370zs rolling around in Ft. Worth. I used to drive to North Dallas meets but it is quite a drive since I also live in Ft Worth.

sorry been busy with work and school just logged on in checked. I only take my car out on the weekend. Got a beater 04 civic ex for a daily. I was at that meet in Arlington by a1 buffet, rolled up there with 5 s2000 haha need to make some Nissan buddies.

I'm right off of basswood and north riverside by fossil ridge high school.
UTAMAV, I went car shopping at Texas Nissan of grapevine and they said I was getting a sport z for a Good price but the car wasn't there yet. They said it should be there in 2days. I got a call saying the car got sold but I already wrote my check for the down payment. I asked them to find out when they are getting more, and clearly asked when can I expect a call back, they usually said 2 hours. Surprise surprise they never did call back. This went on for 3 days and I got sick and tired of it so I went to don davis.

Kool. I just recently purschased my second Z. Had a biaatch of a time as well. The DFW area seems to intentionally starve our area for niché cars in order to try to exaggerate profits. I went to war as well getting mine., but I notice you have a black Z. In DFW, there are nothing but black grey and white manual Z's. How did you have a hard time?

I bought a base+sport auto with all accessories. Getting the middle is hardest in dfw as they are loaded with complete base non sport or tour sport nav auto or NISMO. Everything in between in non existant.
