Yes considered it but looking to get 2 more seats not lose one

Also what driving this is the worth of the z now and the upcoming potential of the Z35/Q60

Well GL and if you do decide to sell your parts, I'd love the CF rear diffuser

Maybe going that route... Pm me an offer I'll take it off for you right now

If you get a bike you're going to be ruined. As much as I love my 370 NISMO, I'd ditch it in a second if I had to choose between it or my Ducati 848

See that's the way I feel about the Z. everything I compare it to always comes up short.

LAVA · 03-02-2015, 10:04 AM

well then selling it will probably be a mistake

No I'm still looking to get some value out of it while waiting for the next generation to come out... Timings right you hit 100k on this car and it's worth almost nothing. Heart wrenching

Duc_Z09 · 03-02-2015, 10:20 AM

Well if you do sell it let me know what you want for the Stillen Gen 3.

For sure getting a quote on returning to stock I'll know for sure in a week or two... LAVA called dibs on the diffuser and GTR button already

FYI diffuser and GTR start button sold to LAVA

I love my NISMO so much. The thrill and excitement of driving to and from work (42 miles round trip) and the stares and compliments daily, it would be hard for me to drive anything else knowing I have a NISMO parked in my garage. Run it till the wheels fall off, you paid for it.

Tax season (hint, hint)
Buy a hooptie and then alternate, one day the Z other day the hooptie.
I'm just trying to help you out of your agony.

Well I feel your pain, owning a SRT8 for 8 years and dealing with $210 a week in gas for my 120 mile round trip commute back in 07-08 made me a believer that some of our toys are just not meant to be DD for the longer commutes IMO. Although I've never contemplated getting rid of it, I did make a Smart adjustment and now I just drive what I want, when I want to and still have fun without giving up my passion for cars. Blessed to be able to have 5 of my own, but the SmartCar is what burns up the road the most.

For example $20 in gas:

SRT8 = To the mailbox and back
Nismo= 1 round trip to work
VW CC= 1 and a half round trips to work
Lincoln LS = 1 round trip to work
SmartCar= All week
