Default Hello everyone

I was a huge fan of the 300ZX, a roomate of mine had one, Amazing car. His friends had a few Zs as well, a 280Z and for their time, I thought they were pretty cool cars.

I personally have never owned a Z. I have owned a few cars, and almost went for a 350Z... but ended up going a different route.

Im a go fast guy. Everycar Ive owned has beede modded... usually way too much. I like making my cars good looking, but thats pointless to me if the car isnt fast.

Ive owned a 400hp 2G eclipse, a 300hp 3G eclipse, a 350hp chevy LS1 powered holden, a 310 hp supercharged RSX-S, and my current car is a (now) 4750hp dodge charger RT. I blew the motor a month ago and she's in the process of getting a new heart (a fully built 6.7 liter to replace the wimpy 5.7 liter) and I will be running 150 shot of nitrous as well. So we're looking at 530ish hp all motor, and 680ish with the go go juice.

The Z will be my daily driver as the charger is just too much to drive everyday. I intend to add basic boltons, but nothing else. Im thinking of a black one with powdercoated stock rims, and blacked out head and tail lights. That is basically what my charger looks like.

Anyways, Like i said, Im a go fast guy, and Ive build a supercharegd car, a turbo one, a nitrous one, and 2 all motor one. Im a newbie when it comes to the Z, so I hope I can learn alot here. But Im a veteran when it comes to going fast, and maybe my experience will help someone here out.

Aside from that, Im 26, Live in the UAE, Im a branch manager at a bank here, Im engaged to the love of my life, Im a self proclaimed goth and metalhead (though you wouldnt know it looking at me), love cars and guitars, and get myself into way too much crap.

I hope to be as much a part of this community as I am on the chargerforums.

Hello, Welcome to the forums, man! wow, you have need for speed, huh?

300ZX was a great Z model along with the 280Z. I had a chance to drive one (not turbo though) and I really like the whole layout of the car. Brakes felt good and it had just enough power for the car.

You charger looked really sweet (best shot is attached ).



Most cop cars here in my city is now Chargers. The look straight up, BADA$$!




I think you should def. check out the new 370Z. This car is lighter and more powerful than the current Z. 350Z was powerful as is and this HP bump will put the car in almost in a new catagory. So, far people have really liked the car (ones that saw in person). I personally like the car already even just looking at the pictures. With it's slightly increased fuel economy, it'll be a great daily driver.

It's great to have you here. I believe there are few other members from KSA as well. I have ALWAYS wanted to go there. Hopefully oneday I will go.

Wadaaaaaaaap man!
Welcome to the forums and I'm sure you'll enjoy the stay here!
Yeah the early Z models are beautiful, especially the 280z!
That charger of yours sounds like a muscle head...
What was the 0-60?
My car spanked chargers and I didn't do much...
I'm thinking of getting black still even though I said I would get white!
I think the black on black is beautiful...
Welcome again! <:

Great. I just hit up the only 2 Nissan dealers in the country and they assured me (both companies) that IF the new Z is even released here it wont be till 2011. LATE 2011.

The new 7 speed G37s are out here in 2 months. Thats now a viable option.

We will know at the Abu Dhabi international Auto Show if the new Z is coming. God Im pissed.
