Twinturbonet's Journal
 

What's up the370z, I decided to start my journal today here at work. Lol. I bought my 2011 Nismo 370z (#24) on 03/17/2012 with 5100 miles on it at Meadowlands Nissan in NJ. I searched for it online and when I found it, I booked a one-way ticket and flew from Miami to NJ. After purchasing the ride, I drove from NJ to DC and celebrated St. Patty's there. I wanted to put the Z on a train they have from VA to FL, but I wasn't gonna make it in time :(. Anyway, long story short, I drove from DC to Miami, FL in one day!

17 hrs and 1 speeding ticket later, (LOL) I show up with this beauty.

Welcome!! :hello:

Thats quite the drive! I can only imagine. 1000+mile trip and 1 ticket.. not bad at all haha Cant wait to see the H+Rs :stirthepot:

Yea, I drove more in one day then people drive in 2 weeks total. I was bound to get a ticket lol.

Nice!! Id be happy with only one ticket in that time as well! lol

Lol yea, I was pretty stoked about it.

Nice drive & not bad for only getting one ticket in that length of time. I like your Nismo & good choice by the way.

Thanks CGMG.

All I have to say is... wow, what a bit*h. I don't feel like typing this whole story, but let's just say it involved H&R suspension, a stripped nut on the driver side along with the same nut on the passenger side that broke three of my ratchets, two trips to Speed Shop (Thanks again Yohan - big rep), Friday night (50% done) and Saturday from 9am - 10pm, & a sh*t load of sweat and beer + me and 2 of my boys.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the drop.

Looks awesome man! Today started on mine, got the struts out, then realized i didn't rent the right spring compressor! Oh well! Seeing yours makes me itch to put mine on.

Do it! :)

twinturbonet, the drop is sweet looking. Sorry to hear about the broken three ratchets, sweat & the effen time consumed in doing all this. In the end it seems to be well worth it & once again she is HOT LOOKING.

That red Nismo is super clean! :tup:

Nice nismo man! I love the red nismo. Drop is fresh too.

I know this is hella noobish but do you use this car as a daily driver? I see people with awesome looking drops like that and i just wonder how much they scrape the bottom front end driving around everyday! But that looks so raw man, good stuff

Yea, she is my DD. However, I live pretty much across the street from my job. So far, I haven't scraped anything. Your front bumper can't clear the concrete parking bumper that's for sure. I'm so used to parking reverse or not even getting close to that ****.

Got the Z aligned by the best alignment shop in South Florida (The Alignment Factory - Ken Heiden) and dipped the wheels today.

It's off of the Turnpike and 120st.

He is still in same spot? Behind Sabel Chase tire?

Car looks good.

Yes W.O.W.

Thanks Viera

Wheels look good! Good luck keeping them clean. I had white wheels before and it was a PITA.

yea, I'm not looking forward to it. :(

Great looking build so far. Lets see some more pics!
