New 370 owner

Abntroop · 04-20-2016, 07:24 AM

Hi all, my name is Matt, and I'm from the Vancouver, WA area. Been lurking and reading this forum for several months now, and finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 PW sport a couple weeks ago. Got K&N CA intakes installed and an ARK cbe installed. She's my first Nissan, and an absolute sweetheart to drive. I'm constantly looking for an excuse to drive, and catch myself grinning ear to ear out of sheer pleasure.
I had a 99' Mitsubishi Eclipse for about 11 years that I bought when I was in the Army.

Transitioned from that to an 08' Hummer H3 Alpha which I built up for off road use

and now the Z for my daily commuter.

Is no one going to comment on the near vertical driveway?

Congrats on the purchase and dont forget the handbrake!

Abntroop · 04-21-2016, 07:06 PM

Yeah, the hummer had no problems clearing it. If anything it was the opposite effect as it was lifted and had about 1/4" to spare to clear the garage door. The Z gets in fine without scraping as long as I pull in sssslllooowwww LOL!! So lowering springs are not in my future.

This winter I'm not leaving the house on snow days lol!
Just installed 25mm spacers on the rear, will install 20 on the front tomorrow.
