Hello from Brazilian in Atlanta, GA! (New 370 Z 2013 dark Grey with Black Rims etc
 

Hello Dear Nissan Z Lovers (Or Nissan at all!).

Before I even begin to introduce myself, I must say it is a real shame that I did not know about the 370 Z (or even 350 Z) a lot better before I bought it.

My name is Guilherme (Gui nickname). I've moved from Brazil to USA last year Nov. 2012, but lived in California for 7 years when younger.

I went from renting 2013 Mustang's, Mazda 3, etc in one full year until I gained enough credit history to make my purchase. I was going to buy a one down payment car, but long story short, the deal of my life came up with a friend here (also brazilian) who sold me a brand new Nissan 370 Z 2013 test drive from Nissan dealer for an excellent price with only 1,200 miles. I ended up financing a small portion to boost my credit history even more. It is a Win-Win situation in all aspects. More credit history, top notch car, low mileage, low price, extremely fast car, 2 years warranty in still.

I am in love. This resumes the entire story.

In less than a month, already did some major modification on the visual side.

The Z when purchased and washed. I'm missing the left front LED. It came to his dealer this way and he asked if I wanted the new LED back which would cost 800 at Nissan, or 500 more less at aftermarket, or the discount. I went with discount and trying to figure out cheaper options. Any suggestions on workarounds?

Please, feel free to send compliments, or any good suggest criticism for me to get it better.

I personally don't like rear spoilers because I like the "Panamera somewhat kinda of look like" (Yeah, I love somewhat kinda of looks haha).

Thank you guys!

Let me be the one of the first to say :welcome: ! Great looking ride and this is the best forum on the Interweb.

Maybe everyone is still Christmas shopping, that's why no one said :tiphat: yet.

Thank you Sir.

Haha so it actually worked. I'm no big drama, but those always get attention, huh? hahah

Actually xxAGAVExx beat you to it haha, but thanks for the welcome and compliments Mr. mults!

I haven't been this excited about a car I had in a long while, and I love cars. There are so many other things I want to keep doing to it which makes part of all the fun. My goal is to learn from the best here.

Welcome and Congrats! :hello:

awesome job, throw some spacers and make the dipped rays pop baby...looking really good though!

Congrats! :hello:

Hi

Bem-vindo

Haha, now it was me with delay on replys. That was due to Holidays, sorry about that.

Thank you!

Thank you Ma'am! By that you mean, lower it? I'm not familiar with all tunning terms, since I come from Brazil hehe. Thanks for the compliments though. You got a nice one too!

Thank you!

Hi there!

Opa, obrigado Loiro! :)

By the way, this pic from the "back" sort of angle is better. The other one was a little shaky.
