The I can't modify it 370Z preservation club!

Roddy1 · 03-21-2014, 09:37 AM

The more I look at my new (to me) 370Z the more I cant bare to modify it. I mean each to their own. I've modifed cars in the past, and maybe I'm getting older but the more quality time I have with my car the less I want to modify it. I was able to pick a babied 2011 Z with about 12,000 miles (~20,000kms) on it. It still smells like a new car inside.

I've added K&N drop ins... But I am on the fence to go further. I am tracking two packages for delivery with my H&R 15MM wheels spacers for the rear, and a set of AAM short tails. (Easily removeable bolt ons I figure).

The spacers I will do for sure, but the AAM's might sit in the box for a while. I can't even bring myself to tint the windows.

Anyone else in this club where they just want to preserve it the way it is?

BTW I have washed my car twice since picking it up on Tuesday and I have also waxed and detailed it.....

You've already began, no turning back now. Mod it like you mean it!

Oh I wasnt founding any club, just curious if anyone felt the same way. I had ordered the parts much like some of you other guys mentioned; before I had even signed for the car.

Then I got the car and thought -- How can I do this?

Funny I just saw this thread resurrected from 4 years ago. Still bone stock with 5020 on the odometer.

Just got a 2010 base black 370z and I am not into mods that may lead to issues down the line since out of warranty. It is stock but few cosmetic mods done for the better.

Led interior and license plate bulbs added
Android auto radio replaced pos OEM radio
Replaced w new OEM Z side fender blinker duplicators
OEM spoiler added

Now, just looking for a set of 19' rays OEM.

Once I find the wheels, all mods done and will remain as is.

Does being poor count?? Lol

StormWhite · 06-15-2018, 02:16 PM

Self dimming mirror, nicer steering wheel and powder coated wheels in almost 12 months of ownership are the only mods so far.

The mirror should have been standard and the wheels were a repair for a slightly kerbed wheel in a tight multi storey car park. The wheel repairers did a poor colour match so I elected to have the other 3 wheels done at no additional cost. IMHO the new colour is much nicer and the 18" base model wheels are now painted to a much higher standard than the original Nissan paint job
