Default New Phoenix 370z owner here

Hi, Matt here from Phoenix (actually Maricopa, home of the Nissan proving grounds)

Long time Nissan Owner. Just bought a 2016 base Z last month as an impulse buy while purchasing our new 2016 Altima SR.

I have been into customizing for the last 29 years. I dont think I have ever had a car that I have not done something too, and apparently the Z is no different.

Below are pics of the day I got it and now. So far Ive swapped wheels for some staggered 18's I had laying around my garage from my Maxima, H&R springs, spoiler, and ditched the nissan Hambugers for Z ones. Once I wear these tires out, I will probably go with a 19 or 20 inch wheel.

I also did the clutch spring swap. I have been driving manual transmissions for 28 years and this car made me feel like I had no clue how to shift.

there is a lot of great info on the board, and Im looking forward to checking it all out even more.

Any other phoenix area Z owners ever want to hit the pavillions, me and my buddies usually go a few times a month

Here are the New Nissans I have previously owned
1992 Hardbody
1994 Hardbody
2005 Titan LE
2012 Sentra SER Spec V
2012 Altima 3.5
2013 Pathfinder LE
2013 Xterra Pro4X
2014 Nismo Juke
2014 Maxima

Though I dont do it for a living anymore, I still do paint and body work on the side. I was kind of the resident painter on another Nissan forum.

Here is a link to some of my work under "Matts paint work" there are sub folders of individual projects. Painted door handles anyone?
