Newbie to the site
 

Hello all,

I am new to the site and to Nissan. I have previously been into Hondas and on honda-tech forum. (altough it's been a long long time) I was big into imports for many years but had to get out of it because i was spending to much money on them. NO I WAS NOT A RICER NOR AM I NOW lol.

I have had a few different Hondas with swaps. All the work i did by myslef.

So this past May I bought a brand new base 2012 370z with 30 miles (which just turned over 12,000! yes i drive alot lol). Yes its automatic lol I know I know. I have never owned an auto but man I really like it. The manual mode is pretty responsive when I need it and when I don't I don't have to worry about shifting gears in traffic.

I am definitely going to start modifying the car soon. I know I will start with the basics, I,H,E. I've been watching a lot of exhaust clips and man its hard to decided. I think I am leaning towards the F.I exhaust. I believe eventually i am going forced induction but just havent made my mind up on that one yet.

Anyways thats enough for now. Nice to meet you guys/girls.

Welcome and Congrats! :hello:

Hi

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Congrats and Welcome! Now start modding!

Are you a ricer? Welcome and congrats!

Welcome and congrats on the switch to Nissan!

Welcome and congrats!

NO NO NO not a ricer lol good taste here. I've kinda been putting together a list of the mods i believe i will be making. A wish list if you will:

Exterior:
Top Secert Front Lip
Branew Side Skirts
Varis Rear Half Spoiler

Wheels:
Work Gnosis GS2 or ISS Forged M8 B Spec

Power:
Stillen G3 C.A.I
Fast Intention Headers
Fast Intentions C.B.E or GTM C.B.E

and maybe in a year or two some forced induction by the way of a supercharger.

Welcome! X honda enthusiast here...97Civic w/B18C swap...GSR sedan/ Comptech supercharged TL-S/CRX blah blah blah. Once they killed the H22 and Integra it was time 2 move on to another brand. Since the 2nd gen G35 I've been a Nissan fan. Enjoy the Z and happy modding!

I noticed that you have the F.I exhaust. I believe that is the exhaust that i am leaning towards. Can you give me feedbck on it?

After reading the 50 page thread on the FI CBE I was sold lol. The 3 month wait was total torture but well worth the wait! Couldnt stop drooling over the cf canisters...jus amazing. I've had Tanabe, DC Sports, Apexi, _HKS so I was paranoid it was goin 2 sound LOUD and more LOUD but no. Jus great quality. My tech was impressed with the quality and the sound. No lawnmower sound jus nice exotic and throaty. Cold start makes me smile every morning, my initial concern was it was louder than i expected but it took me no time 2 get use to. I jus got back from Orlando and was wondering how loud it would be at 80. 6th gear and quiet until i stepped on it. Love it, love it, lov it. I do hav 2 creep through my neighborhood tho lol. Trust me i dont think anyone has had any regrets. DO IT...the longer u wait the longer u really wait!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the input. I do blieve this is the one i'm going to go with!!! I just love the sound on all the clips i've heard. Of course clips and actual are two different things but still.

additional welcome and congrats!! :tiphat:

Welcome aboard! Honda fanatic here myself too. My Z was my first Nissan ever too. I also have an '04 S2000 and '10 RDX. Recently sold my '04 TSX. I love this car so far!:tup:
