First thing you did when you got your 370z

Mhaddy · 07-22-2009, 03:19 PM

I am (scheduled) to take ownership of my black on black, sport & navi 6 speed 370z next week or the first week of August (yay!). What I'd like to know is ... what is the first thing you did when you got yours? This could be anything from burned through a tank of gas to wash & wax.

As well, I'd like to know if there is a things to check/verify when I go to pick it up, thanks!

Check for any dings/dents/etc. (Inside and outside)
Check electrical system
Check tire pressure

First thing I did was drive home and go to sleep, picked mine up Thursday evening. That weekend was giving it a good solid wash and detailing.

I drove around for about 50 mi, then went home and went to sleep

FuszNissan · 07-22-2009, 03:36 PM

I put Stillen Gen 3 and Berk HFC's on

Viera · 07-22-2009, 03:55 PM

Tints & led's.

Wondered if the Speedo was broke. The car is so much fun, those miles add up quick. But I bought mine at a dealer 3 hours from home Blk/Gray 6MT Touring/Sport/Nav, so when I got home it was detail time. Then I pulled up a stool and sat in the garage staring at it for 2 hours.

Drove around all night. Got home, couldn't sleep...drove it some more.

drove home, put it on jackstands and pulled the calipers, powdercoated them, swapped springs and sways and had the wheels swapped over to the Nismo's that I bought from another member here and powdercoated.

Drove home and put the car cover on it and waited till I got my clearbra installed and windows tinted at the same time.

Drove like hell for about 175 miles, took pictures, drooled, watched people turn their heads as I passed...

I was so excited that I drove straight home, did several obscene things to my wife, took a nap and then put the first 50 miles on the odometer.

RCZ · 07-23-2009, 12:05 AM
