Picked up 350z from a guy who jumped in too quickly and couldn't afford it. Got it at an awesome price, sold it to another kid who wanted to jump into it. I made some profit from it and bought a 370z the same way.

Now, I'm just waiting for the next Z to come out and do it again.
damn, all these kids making you rich

I bought my car and I plan to drive it in the winter as long as it doesn't snow too heavy.

I'm afraid the winter tires will cost an arm and a leg though. I'll worry about that in October.

Working downtown has the benefit of being able to subway or drive Employee parking

Find a set of 350Z wheels (18's) or base 370Z wheels for winter, tires are much cheap in 18's. Other wise you'll be fine, just be smart about what you try and go through in the winter, I drive mine all year round with no problems, I live in AB and drive north past Grande Prairie every winter.

I did a 225 and a 245, no spacers, the rear looks funny cause the wheels are in a fair bit, but it keeps the crap from the road in the wheel well...

Anyone know if the wheels off a 2004 Altima SE-R will fit a 2004 G35? My son needs a set for racing. The G35 he bought came with non-track acceptable wheels.

91 minimum!

but as zefaulter said get the highest octane you can get constantly, I know myself and a few others tend to stick with the 94 octane available at a lot of petro-can stations

Does 91 and 94 have any difference in milage?

There is such a marginal difference that it doesn't really matter.

Unless you are trying to Hyper-mile your 370z which defeats the purpose of having it.

91 and 94 Octane is for engine compression, use 89 and you will get some engine knocking because of premature ignition.

Prolong engine knocking will wear and tear your engine faster.

When you drive a Z mileage shouldn't be an issue, go out an enjoy it.
