Taking the plunge back into Z land

1flaguy · 06-10-2014, 02:05 PM

I have had 260z 280zx Turbo (one of my favorite cars of all time) and a 300zx twin Turbo.
Now I have decided to return to the Z family

. I am buying a used 20,000 miles, 2011 Nismo with Stillen CAI and top speed pro one exhaust. Has a few other upgrades as well and an extended warranty which is nice I think.
It's been a long journey of m3's', Z06, Cayman to name a few.
I'm excited to get back in the Z and have some fun again. First thing I am doing is oil cooler to keep is cool on the track.
This forum has been fantastic and I appreciate all the work people put in their posts

Hopefully I can add some value

I would wait to see what 2016 has in store for the Z. If you don't like you can always go back to this gen.

1flaguy · 06-10-2014, 03:24 PM

Thanks but I don't want a new one, I have taken enough wacking on depreciation of buying new cars in my life, and I love the looks of this one.

kenchan · 06-10-2014, 03:35 PM

yah, i like the pre2014 nismo's better myself.

gufazi · 06-10-2014, 03:45 PM

Interesting that you used to have a M3 and a Cayman cause thats what I want next. What caused you to shed those to come back to Z land?

1flaguy · 06-10-2014, 03:48 PM

Had them when things were better financially. I have been driving a Passat which is a great car for the last 3 years.

No ... no ...

buy now, keep Nismo for collection AND buy the new Z three years after it comes out so they can resolve the steering lock, oil cooling, and brakes issue on it.

Welcome back! I bought my 370 a year ago tomorrow after not owning a Z for over 20 years( last one was a 280z) and I have really enjoyed playing with this one!

So, you wanna be cool again? Drive a sexy car known for it's repeated collisions, and chicks staring you down almost on a daily basis???!!!!

Just joking, but not really

Oh yeah, Welcome!
