Went with an 2011 Red Z

Juice14 · 05-08-2012, 12:38 AM

Whats up.

Ive been looking for a Z for months now. I believe is one of the best sports car, if not the best sport car you can get for less than 40k. Got this 2011 for 31k Sport Package, manual, 4k miles, leather, back up camera.

I already ordered the spacers, ill be tracking the car so im looking at oil coolers, any suggestions are welcome. Then ill look into intake and sway bars.

Im already hooked to the forum and found most things ive searched for.

HEre are some pics:

I love the red. Went to purchase a red 09 z last May and they sold it when I was almost to it. I was bummed but I found the right one. Congrats and enjoy!!

Great choice, welcome to the club! You're going to love your Z

First mods and adjustments for someone who will track

1. Get your first oil change now.
2. 1200 miles get nissan oem
3. 5000 miles get a high grade oil like redline, RP, amsoil. Etc

When going through this break in period may I suggest.
1. Aftermarket rotors pads and lines.
2. Stillen brake cooling kit.
3. 25 row oil cooler

@ 5000 miles after your choice oil change.
Then I would consider.

Intake, short tube headers and exhaust
Suspension setup of choce
Possibly forced induction???

Congrats on your new ride. Enjoy your journey with your new Z.

Those seats belong to a Nismo, Touring or Custom....

Welcome, enjoy her, she's going to bring you joy!

Congratulations!!! I am sure those leather seats are aftermarket because only Touring models come with leather from factory, and OP's model is not Touring.

lemon-fresh · 05-08-2012, 11:33 AM

They don't look like touring seats either.

As a previous poster said, they may be from a nismo. Floor mats look non-stock also.

Luckily all these changes look like upgrades

With oil coolers, bigger is better.
