Girly Z
 
Hey guys, for starters my name is Shelby and im 19. Yesterday i went and traded in my 07 350z and brought home a 2012 370 with 10k miles.

The day i got my 350.

It was bone stock and my boyfriend and i would take it out to test n tune all the time. Had a blast and the best time we got in the 1/8th was 8.95.

A little over a month ago i got rearended pretty bad.
$7600 in damages. Up until that day i loved my car and would never consider getting rid of it. It was payed off and fun to drive!

Heres the carnage.

I got it back from it being fixed and a week later i decided i didnt want to drive a car with a bad carfax..

So with the help of my Dad co-signing i brought home my new baby!

My boy friend took a peek under it and tells me it has a pretty highend exhaust system
"Fast intentions catback with 12" resonators and high flow cats"
I love the way it sounds and it feels quite a bit faster than my old z.
Besides the exhaust it is completely stock.
Auto transmission and brand new tires.

Anyone have any sugjestions on things i should watch for?
And known problems with the car that others have had?
Hoping to take it friday to the test n tune to see what its got!

I feel your pain Shelby! This hapened to my 350 in November. But very happy with my new 370!

red6spd 03-10-2013 09:10 AM

Sorry about the 350 and congrats on the 370. The 2012 does not seem to have most of the issues the 09-10's had but just keep an eye on the oil level.

FairladyZ 03-10-2013 09:13 AM

Watch out with the new found speed.

The 370z is deceptively fast. I always catch myself saying oh **** I'm at 100 already.

m4a1mustang 03-10-2013 09:17 AM

Welcome! Sorry about your 350 but I'm sure you'll enjoy the 370 more. It's a step up in refinement and quality. :tup:

sunkist350z 03-10-2013 09:18 AM

welcome solid red z would look sexy with that t top lol nice gm z

SouthArk370Z 03-10-2013 09:21 AM

As red6spd says, most of the kinks have been worked out by 2012. Eg, the steering lock was deleted (mid-2011) and hatch springs upgraded (not sure when).

One annoyance that you may run into is the brake warning light can come on under hard accel if the brake fluid level is just a little bit low (still within the markings on the bowl just not slam full). Not really a problem, it just freaks some ppl out when it happens.

Welcome to the 370z. Nice purchase. I have a 2012 and I have had nothing but a great experience with mine. No steering lock yet and mods have all taken well. I hope u enjoy your new toy.

Welcome! :hello:

One suggestion. Keep an eye on the rear view mirror!

silentnightz 03-10-2013 11:47 AM

Hey welcome ;O Nice 370 ;D. I also have a 2012 so far so good! I would recommend a clear bra for the front bumper. It saved me from a nasty wave of rock chips yesterday.

UGH! I should have done this when I got my new bumper.

Best advice really, its a life saver.

homeryansta 03-10-2013 11:53 AM

When I was 19, I couldn't afford anything but a cheapo sentra. How do you do it?

SgtGoldy 03-10-2013 11:54 AM

savings brah! I've always owned nicer cars cause I save!

Not sure how she did it, but I assume the same.

I don't think any kind of crazy savings plan would have worked when I was 19. I was in college and working part time. All my money was spent on groceries and bills.

SgtGoldy 03-10-2013 12:40 PM

Oh yea I hear ya. I didn't go to college and focused on just working. I am one of the lucky people that it worked out for. Still trying to get into an even better paying job but I do alright right now.

I know... I PM'd her and said sorry for all the guys...


While we're on it, I searched her and saw she hasn't posted in about 6 months, BUT, was signed on not too long ago, LOL

Shelby 03-10-2013 02:34 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Im in naples
And to be honest, im a full time student in collage with 2 jobs.
I work a double everyday and have night classes.

I got my first z for $15600 when i was 17. It was paid off the day i got it. I sold my 02 mustang for 4k and had a collage acct that my grandparents left me with almost 25k.
Luckly i have scholarships and have barely needed to touch that acct besides a random 12k to pay for the rest of the 350..

SS_Firehawk 03-10-2013 02:41 PM

Welcome :) Sorry about the 350, Most of us don't like getting rear ended, except maybe the premium members... Wait, NVM. CG's on the Z!

nizmoJ 03-10-2013 03:46 PM
