New-to-me 09'. Anyone know this car?

preR35 · 08-26-2013, 08:43 PM

Hello folks. I recently traded in my 13' Subaru BRZ for a 09' 370z (sport) with only 4,200 miles. I drove from Upstate NY and made the trade at a Nissan dealership in Erie, PA. The car features all of the upgrades I was looking to do, even some that the dealership didn't appear to be aware of (or at least didn't mention in the ad):

- Carbon Signal add-on spoiler
- Stillen roof spoiler (I removed this, however)
- White shift knob (I replaced this with an OEM shifter)
- Stillen cat-back exhaust
- Lowering Springs (haven't determined what make)
- H&R wheel spacers
- Front/Rear Sway Bars (not sure what brand, they are red if that's helpful

)
- What appears to be an aftermarket oil cooler

I saw this exact car (same PA plates from dealer's ad and aero pieces mentioned above) in a thread on this forum regarding the Carbon Signal spoiler. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this particular car. It seems to be properly set-up for some road racing, not sure if that's the case. I love the vehicle, no gripes. Just curious about the vehicle's history (aside from what is shown on a simple Carfax report) and if there are any other modifications that I'm not aware of.

Anyhow, quite thrilled with the 370z, thanks for welcoming me to your forum

As it sits now:

The day I picked it up:

Congrats and Welcome!

First off welcome!

I personally think the Z beats the BRZ in 9/10 categories. I hope after driving your Z after a couple weeks you will feel the same.

The car has some great mods! Would you be interested in getting rid of that stillen roof spoiler? I am interested to see how it looks on my car.

Thank you & This forum is more helpful then you could ever imagine lol

Thanks. I am, in fact, looking to sell that Stillen roof spoiler. I'll shoot you a PM in the next day or so about it.

Regarding the BRZ, I'd have to agree. Not a bad car at all and I planned to own it for a long time, but the 370Z is simply a step up in just about every category. Seems reasonable, considering the price of each model brand-new. I stumbled across a listing for a used Nismo 370Z that wasn't as expensive as I would've thought, so I started to look into used, low-mileage Zs. I found my current car about 2 weeks later. Totally unexpected trade, but I'm not complaining

..Since we're talking about the BRZ, here are a couple of pics of the one I traded in, and of the car I owned prior to that (Saab 9-2x Aero, same as the WRX wagon for those not familiar). Both had mild exhaust/suspension mods.
