New guy - My Montery Blue Journal
 

I met a guy about a year and a half ago at a meet and fell in love with his Monterey Blue on Gray 370z. During the meet I told him if he ever sells it, let me know. Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago, Ray and I made the deal! I'm in love with this thing. Huge upgrade from my 05 and 06 350Z.

She is a 2009 Touring with Sport and tech (nav etc) package. Ray was nice enough to take great care of her and leave her bone stock.

The week after I lowered it with H&R springs.

Then I scored a complete lightly damaged Nismo front end, diffuser, and undertray that is almost ready! Hopefully by this weekend.

Still debating on picking up a FI exhaust or ordering a Motordyne...

Anyway, thats where she stands right now. I'll keep this updated for my own entertainment and whoever else thats along for the ride.

:tiphat:

Now I wish I bought the local Monterey blue instead :(
Looks like you're off to a great start!

best color on the z, congrats on the purchase

Go Motordyne

Welcome to the club!

Best color. Welcome

I agree best color ! Congrats!

I'll be watching you build away!! Love that color too!!

Congrats!
Was the previous owner, Ray, on the forum too?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

De, Yes he was.

Monterey Blue is by far the best stock color on a 370z!! Looking good so far! :tup:

Awesome! Probably my favorite color on the Z, though not my style to drive. So I just get to admire others who choose it. :yum::yum:

Can't wait to see the nismo bumper on!

Test fit from today (not bolted on) Just backed it out to see if it would clear the driveway curb, and it did. Not sold on it yet..

Nismo wheels would complete the look..

Nismo STILL isnt mounted... I just cant decide what to do with it.. (keep it or not)...

But in the mean time, I had my engine cover painted to match.:ugh2:

If you sold it, how much would you sell it for?

It's not going up for sale any time soon. I mounted it and have been driving with it for a week now. For now, I love it :)

Before I put on the emblem. Was out on it's debut drive in the hood for a friend's housewarming party.

I think it looks so much cleaner without the emblem. I love driving by people and them not knowing what kind of car I'm in. However...the pics look great. I love that color on the Z. Damn shame they didn't make the Nismo in that color. Bad marketing on Nissan's part. LOL Great job, keep it up!

:icon18::iagree:

nice job on the nismo front, one of the best lookin front end along with amuse

She's a beauty...congrats.

thanks guys!

Ahhhh! Pulled the cover off my Z this weekend and woke it up for the first time in 4 months!

Nothing like that feeling of stepping back into the Z after winter storage. :)

she looks good!

It's like reliving the first time again lol ready to spoil it now instead of My jeep they I kept buying stuff for all winter.

Time for wider tires, aerojacket duckbill, and a few other goodies. Can't wait! Debating on tint... I like it without but I don't know..

Spring cleaning!
