Glad I found this thread. Car looks awesome and congrats on all your hard work.
Love the wheels!

yes, the sound is extremely pleasing and a real head turner. Surprisingly with the windows up it isn't even that loud. Windows open is another thing. My friends love the way it sounds when driving behind me on the freeway at WOT. They can also hear me coming long before they even see me.

HulaGirl, thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy it and let me know if you haven any questions along the way!

Just a small update in the build:

I received an AZ Speng billet coolant overflow tank from our very own DE through a group buy I coordinated with several of my local club members. The quality is amazing and it makes the engine bay look so legit. Simply took a little Chemical Guys Heavy Metal polish and shined her up. While I had the oem out, I swapped in the red coolant hoses from Z1 I had laying around.

Stancwars was a blast as always, but no awards (as expected). It is kind of a biased show with no real judging...but it is all good. It was great to be one of the top 100 cars owning the top floor of the parking garage. Not sure if I will do another one of their events after this summer.

Got Formula Drift and Offset Kings on the 25th! I'll be updating with some new pics shortly, stay tuned!

While this may come as a bit of a shock, especially those that follow my build, I have sold my beautiful Z. Fear not, it's going to a Z enthusiast who previously owned a 350Z and a 370Z. I've loved the rarity in the platform and the joy it has given me, but I am ready for something new. I decided I wasn't going to pursue the build any longer. I've got just a few days left with her and she will be with the new owner come the 15th.

If I could change one thing about my entire build? It would have been all performance and no show.

What platform am I switching to? I'm still unsure and shopping around. Worst case scenario....I get into another 370Z. Start fresh and boost that Lady :)

Sold: September 15th, 2015

Congrats and keep us posted on your next move!

Well everyone, I've added another car to my recently acquired Datsun 280Z. I had been doing some shopping and I was interested in an R35, M4, or M3. I couldn't get past the auto manual transmission of the R35 and M4. They weren't right for me. I liked the M3 in both the e92 and e46 body styles. But both cars felt very wrong to me.

It just so happens that a friend of mine had recently traded his car in for a 911 Carrera S. I knew the original owner and him as the second owner. I had seen the car a few times, knew it's history, and that it was extremely well taken care of. Unfortunately, it was tastefully modded with a lot of things I personally would have done. But, I'll be removing many of those mods to chase another dream on the car. And that dream is boost.

I've got another Z34 and this time it's a Nismo model. 2009 Nissan 370Z Nismo #0483 in Pearl White :)

pics lol

I'll upload some soon along with my S30.

After speaking with the original two owners and looking at some things on the Nismo, I was able to figure out the modifications done to the car, along with its current power.

It's been uprev tuned and makes 320 whp and 270 ft lbs of torque. The tune was done before the switch to the FI exhaust, which I sold the last owner. He also purchased my old Avant Garde Wheels that were built for my last 370Z and put new pilot super sports on the rear, before he traded it in on a Carrera S.

It's a very nice start to adding a BP Single scroll turbo kit.

Nice find...:yum:

Not a bad find at all. I actually know both the prior owners. Car has about 18k in aftermarket parts and ingot it for 26k before tax and tags. It was hard to pass on.

Sweet!

Just a quick pic of the two LadieZ together :)

:yum:

Rip, I like your style! Almost like a new slate. I hope you go big on the BP kit. Your last car was sweet. This one will be sweet and sexy (er).

1975-76 280z 2+2, 4 seater?

YzGyz, thanks. I really want to dedicate the nismo more to some racing. A nice boost in power and enjoy the car away from the show scene.

Spooler, yes it's a 1975 280Z 2+2. Full oem car that was babied and stored away for awhile. It was a lucky and rare rind. Most are rust buckets and you never see the 2+2.
