New 370z owner, up from a 350z

TedB370z · 11-18-2013, 01:08 PM

I was a member over at my350z.com with a 2004 touring A/T in Silver with frost leather, 99,200 miles, and recently traded up to 2009 Touring A/T in Platinum Graphite with frost leather and the matching 19" Rays.

It already had the K&N Typhoon intakes on it. I added a Top-Speed axle back exhaust, Pioneer AVH-X1500DVD, Excalibur remote start, drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads (also painted the calipers red...) and plasti-dip'd the lower rear bumper.

Only issue so far was the car not wanting to come out of lock, which ended up being the electronic steering column lock, was able remove it, drill it out and fool the sensors into thinking it was unlocked so I could drive it to the dealership for the recall.

Some pics below are from VA Beach/Nags Head trip in May and another in September

How do you like it compared to your 350z?

TedB370z · 11-22-2013, 07:53 AM

I was surprised, It's a really big jump in quality, just from the seats to the dash trim to the gauges, plus a 5 spd A/T to a 7 spd A/T was great. Only thing I seem to miss is the clock also being the speedometer hah.
