From G to Z -- New 370Z Owner
 

What's up everyone, name's Jon! I purchased my new girl, a 2013 Nissan 370Z, on October 16th and I'm loving her so far. The situation I had when I bought it was a once in a lifetime deal. It was a repossessed lease, had 12k miles on it. The dealership wanted to get it off the lot as soon as possible. So I basically got this car 20k off MSRP... :tup: Coming from a 2004 G35, this car is like a whole different story. My plan is to make the Z look and drive like a completely different car by next year. I'll update as my build continues, of course.


This was my G35. I owned it for a whole 6 months... :icon17:

First mod was tints. (Along with some simple lighting upgrades.)

Headlights stay on with LED DRLs.

It's 7AT with a shift boot, yeah... hold the hate. Pretty clean if you ask me!

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Thanks Genaro!

:welcome:
And congrats.
:icon17: your excitement is very evident. :tup: i still feel that way. I love Harry, I bought him brand new in May 2012. :happydance::driving: always.

Haha really? I tried to keep the excitement minimal. I'm trying to look cool on the forums ya know... :cool: Thank you though!

Welcome! Car looks good. Just a heads up the F.I. LTHs are going to eliminate the stock cats and bolt right up to the y-pipe so you should see if you can get out of your order on the berks/return them.

Wow good call, didn't even think about that. Good thing I didn't put the order in for the headers yet.

Does anyone know what headers would be second best that aren't long tube?

Nice car bro!

Thanks!

I think PPE performance makes a set of shorties. The cost VS HP increase is steep so not many people go that route.

Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the family and really nice mods!

thanks!

Welcome!

How did you mount your iPad? It looks good.
