I just wanted to introduce myself to the community.

I just bought my first 370z today. It is the 2009 coupe basic. I am absolutely in love with it. So much power.
Hopefully I am able to post some pictures on here.

Thanks for all the help in the future.

Just wanted to give an 'ello there' to the VQ crew.

(sorry for crappy cell pics)









i've been eyeing the maxima these last couple months so when we went to the nissan dealer i kept wandering back to the Max. my wife said, "well if you're gonna get the maxima, i wanna get the Z. and when we have a baby, i will have no problem driving the maxima, and you drive the Z."

she traded in her low mileage Saturn Sky and i traded my modded Mazdaspeed 3. got offered really good deals that we couldn't really pass up. ]]> Introduction bluelion http://www.the370z.com/introduction/24641-wifes-new-z.html http://www.the370z.com/introduction/24302-just-picked-up-new-z.html Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:19:59 GMT After a five year hiatus (had a 2003 350z I got rid of in 2005) I am finally back in a Z.

I am intending to buy a used, new-ish 370Z (hopefully Nismo) and wondered if there's anything I should look out for. I read about the random plastic thingies left on the spirings by some dealers, and have also read some slightly worrying posts about stratospheric oil temperatures. But I couldn't find a "things to check on a used 370Z" or equivalent. Maybe it's such a fantastic car, it doesn't really have anything specific to look out for!

Another question that someone might be able to help me on...I'm new to USA (came over from UK 4 months ago) and cannot find reliable information on taxes payable in California. I've looked at the CA DMV site, which looks like something made in about 1995! Absolutely useless! Because I don't have the license plate of the car I might buy, I cannot use the vehicle tax calculator to work out my annual fees. I've also looked at the specific county, and their (also hopeless) website has no mention of vehicle taxes. Seems very bizarre to me that car tax goes to fund schools and other completely irrelevant things - no wonder the American roads are in such awful condition!

Maybe somebody can give me a rough idea of what this might be on a say, $25000 car. I found another site which said I'd pay 1.15%, but then went on to quote an example of the author's crap mathematical skills - the figure quoted was not 1.15% of the purchase price! I assume there'll be 9.75% sales tax, which seems to be unavoidable even if I bought the car out of state. Anything else I should be frightened of? (Other than the relatively expensive price of decent petrol ("gas":rolleyes:) in CA - but still WAAAY cheaper than the $7/gallon in UK!).

So, bored with tearing my hair out, looking at conflicting info on bad websites, I thought I'd come to the experts!:hello:

The guy told me never to put it in gear when I turn the car off. I picked it up, stopped for gas, went to get in the car and I had my keys in my hand and must have activated the remote start. I had the emergency brake pulled. The car took off, dragging me with it. It went over 3 curbs, bushes and finally came to a stop. They never gave me an instruction manual........is this because they had to disconnect a safety feature on the car? I had it done at the dealer and it was part of a package deal they offered me. The car is messed up and I know it can be fixed. It's just that I know that it has been damaged. Can anyone tell me about these remote starters? I have never had one before. Should I contact an attorney? If they did disconnect a safety feature, no one told me about it. Please help. ]]> Introduction Hootie http://www.the370z.com/introduction/23694-help.html http://www.the370z.com/introduction/23492-after-3-1-2-months-i-got.html Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:05:42 GMT It took a while but finally got my black 370 Sport pack with Auto.

So far I like it. The car already has the EVO CF front fang and CF rear def. on it. Looks good. I have Stillen CB exhaust and Stillen Intakes waiting to be installed. Just waiting for the last pieces before I'm done for a while. I ordered the Kevlar cooling plates and engine comp. covers from JDM. They are on the way now and should have them next week. I am going to be away next week but the week after I will get it all put together and post a few pictures. ]]> Introduction valinr http://www.the370z.com/introduction/23492-after-3-1-2-months-i-got.html
