2015 nismo Z build

StevenShocker · 02-08-2015, 09:22 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm still pretty new to this forum and it's functions. I have a lot to learn, but I just wanted to start a build thread for myself and to share with the rest of the community. A little about myself: I'm in school currently going for my computer engineer degree. I work part time at UPS. I've been through about 4 cars now, this being my 5th and I'm 21. Hopefully I won't be trading up anytime soon because I love this car. Best car thus far I have to say. Long term goal for this car is to eventually go FI. Looking into fast intentions since their local and I've heard nothing but amazing things about them. I hope to learn a lot from the others on this forum! This is going to be a slow and steady build since money is short. I put a huge down payment in order to get the payments I could afford. I've already ordered weathertech floormats and a GTR start/stop button. A lot more planned, but with no cash it's going to be a long wait. Well worth the wait though! Plenty more to come guys! On to the pics!

I'm barely scratching the surface.

Updates as of 2-27-15! I purchased weathertech floormats, TiTek Magnetic Oil Drain Plug, GTR Start/Stop, and a Tommy Kaira hebi bebi shift knob from a local member! I also stopped by Fast Intentions Inc to put down a security deposit for an exhaust. I'm currently in the market for coilovers so I can throw my TE37's on.. So I'm open to suggestions! I'm kind of leaning towards KW v3s, but I'll keep searching on until I find something I really want. I will be attending Zday at pismo beach this upcoming april. Anyone else heading out?
Before:

After:

Weathertech mats are really nice!

Tommy Kaira Shift Knob I love how this thing feels! I will update once I have install pictures. Planning to pick up some tools this weekend to get it installed.

When I visited Fast Intentions Inc a few weeks back. Tony and the team there are super friendly. Gave me a tour of there facility and more. I couldn't been more happy with the experience I had with them. I will be looking forward to their TT kit in the future!

Random Pictures when the weather was nice out. It's been a gloomy couple of weeks in SoCal!
My dads Vette and my Z

That's all for now! I will continue to update the thread as I go. I'm also looking for someone who can repair wheel rashes and powdercoat my wheels if anyone has someone in mind. Thanks again for looking.

Those seats are so sexy!

Btw, welcome to the forum and congrats on a good lookin ride!

Zerocool · 02-08-2015, 11:55 PM

nice....looking at that background makes me want to move to cali lol

You're doing things backwards

I had an embarrassing Saturn SC2 all through college, then I got my M.Sc. in Computer Science and finally had the income to buy nice cars. Ironically though, my degree serves no purpose as all of my income now comes from investments. Hopefully you will get a chance to put your degree to use - general Computer Science these days basically pigeon holes you into academia. An actual job-friendly specialization like Software / Computer Engineering is vastly more practical

Haha, I've had two s14's in the past than moved into a 350z.. probably not even more than a year before I sold it and picked this up. I saved up a lot of money to down so the monthly are affordable for myself. I'm hoping school pays off and I can use my degree to my fullest! I have family members who code for disney and they make A LOT. Inspiration for myself to keep pushing forward in school so I can have more money to invest in my passion pit.
