Hello from WA!
 
Bought my 2013 370Z sports package in 07/2013. Love every minute of it, especially when the engine's power finally kicks in I leave everyone else in the dust. Just joined so just saying hello. :hello:

VRSean 04-02-2014 06:50 PM

Welcome! what plans do you have for the Z?

Chava24 04-02-2014 06:59 PM

Ummm not sure. Lack of money is the biggest issue right now. I want to at least put a nice stereo and maybe a good sound system, something to get a lot more thump out of it. Not sure if I want to do the whole woofer thing, being that space is an issue. I wish I had the know-how or cash flow to mess with the performance and get the car to really move, but probably not in the near future. Anything you would suggest? Mine is stock right now, just did strong tint on all the windows.

Hi

VRSean 04-03-2014 05:32 PM

I have the factory Bose system in my car and the sound is definitely there for me. If you're looking to add a sub I would do that same configuration where it mounts within the spare tire to keep the most room possible

Chava24 04-03-2014 11:35 PM

Cool. I want to just put in a good Pioneer deck for now. I don't think I want to do the whole sub thing cuz I did that before on another car and it turned out horrible. Even with the stock (non-Bose) system and speakers there's still a decent thump. But I want to be able to have a touch screen, Bluetooth calling, and be able to stream music through Bluetooth. And I hear the Pioneer is a good deck too. What else have you done to yours?

And hi Andrew (6MT).

Welcome! Oh how I miss Washington. I gotta get back out there.

Chava, Congrats on the Z and welcome aboard!

An inexpensive way to improve the sound of the current speakers in your car is to dynamat the doors and hatch. There is a DIY video on here somewhere, use the search function. I did it to mine and it makes a noticeable difference. It's not hard to do but it took me about 4 - 4 1/2 hours for both doors and the hatch.

Buying the plastic tools to remove the interior parts of the Z and the dynamat on Amazon cost me approx $60, if memory serves me correctly.

Magic Bus 04-08-2014 07:41 PM

Oops, Cost me approx $160 not $60.

Actually, basically the same as your car. Grey with the greyish rims and the red calipers. I will post pics as soon as I can.

Chava24 04-10-2014 06:10 PM

And thxs everyone for welcoming me to the forum. Let me just repeat that I love my 370z! Huge difference from my prior car, a 2011 Chevy Camaro.

Where in WA? We have a fairly large Infiniti Nissan club out here (PNW_INC) based primarily out of the Seattle area, but have members all over the state as well as others due to military commitments.

I actually did see your car club and was thinking of joining. I live in Tacoma but mainly drive around the Kent are. Hardly, but every so often, am I actually in Seattle. I do need to be part of one of those long processions of 370z's I've seen. Or just hang. I'm actually going to a car meet tomorrow afternoon in Kent. I'm excited, it's my first one. :happydance:

Hi! Cool thing is if I can find other 370z's in WA. I'd be nice to just hang out and talk about the car. Went to the car meet yesterday and everyone just LOVED my car. I was the only one there with the Z and there were like 3 BRZ that didn't get any love (hahahah). Just affirmed that this car is awesome.

:worship:

Xplicit97 04-13-2014 02:44 PM

welcome to the site

I actually want that iconic smoky orange. But it wasn't available for 2013. That or a deep blue (something like a Lexus or BMW). Thinking about getting it wrapped since it's cheaper and if I want to change the color later it won't be a hassle. It also protects the car itself. I'll see when I have spare money...which in all honesty will be never. Haha.

And no offense, but to me red has always been a girl color. Never been attracted to red. Idky. Thanks for the welcome. :)

Welcome, I am in Tacoma too.

I actually saw your account on many of the threads I just posted in (I just looked for threads that had Washington in them). I'm in Hilltop aka TaCompton. Haha. Thanks for the welcome though. Would love to get into some WA Z groups/clubs so I can know about meets and just talk to other Z owners.

Well get me in, bro. I think Xplicit said he would and I sent him my info for FB. But what about being a member on the website. I think you pay dues and such. Let me know cuz of course I'm interested. :tiphat:

Xplicit97 04-17-2014 04:33 PM

I just put a message out on the page for an admin to add you. So shouldn't be too long. You didn't add me on fb though, or at least I didnt get the request. Im actually in SD right now for work, but im sure you'll see TJLAZER around, just look for the white GTR or Blue Nismo clone 370. He's my cousin, he attends most of the funtions

Ok. Let me actually add you on FB (I'm Jesus btw). And yea. I'm still ******** bricks from that GTR/Z combo. I haven't seen the Z yet though, I'm on Hilltop so maybe it's just happened yet. Totally wish I could also own a GTR. Haha. Can't wait to be in this crew!

Also, can you send the link to the website for PNW Inc. I am thinking of being a member there too. Not sure if that's different than FB.

Thanks for all the support guys.:bowdown:

Xplicit97 04-17-2014 05:00 PM

Its all ran through facebook, as soon as an admin approves you you'll have access
I'm Jason but I think you knew that already... lol

Ohhh ok. I could have sworn I saw a website before where you paid yearly dues to get in and have membership-type benefits. But maybe I'm confused. And yes, I added you already.

Xplicit97 04-17-2014 05:41 PM

That's probably Northwest Nissan, which caters primarily to the 240 crowd and an overall younger audience.

Nope. It wasn't NW Nissan (NWN - Northwest Nissans Forum, Classifieds & Club). I actually wanted to go to the Nissanfest 2014 but I'd rather not pay to get in and I can imagine how packed it's going to be, so I'll just not. Haha.

It was actually Z Car Club of WA (Z Car Club of Washington | Come drive with us!). They were the ones I was thinking about that charges yearly dues.

I also just realized how many other similar website there are to this one. But don't fret, I'm not jumping ship any time soon. Haha.

I'm excited to be a part of PNW Inc. Saw ya added me. Just waiting for the official response from the admin. :)
