I learned a hard lesson with my 350Z though, so I refuse to sink too much money into this one until its closer to being paid off. And before I do that, I have to find/build/get an AR before isht hits the fan. Luckily I think the wife is going to buy me one with our income tax return for my 40th birthday here in a few weeks. We might put the rest into the principle left on the Z, so that will be a huge dent in paying it off. So parts shall ensue shortly after. :-)

I gotta get some stuff in there so I can show up at the meets without looking so stock.

thats just the beginning, it honestly needs at least $7-10k in repairs and such just to get it back to "proper shape" at 147k everything is failing now.

not sure its gunna be safe enough for zdayz this year. for the dragon or the trip there.

And Im having hard time justifying picking up a car payment. Dont get me wrong I love the 370, but for me, is it 3x the car?? I dont think there's many cars under $30 are worthy of paying heavily every month for or are that much better than my z

then im back in a stock car too

really struggling with this now..... im mean you all talked yourself into them, do you ever regret it...... especially those of you who have had z33's (or g's scott)

but yea i would get one asap if u ever want one. side note, what if u just put some hfc's or tp's on your nismo to give it some more volume on the cheap?

there are other options for your car purchase. maybe a newer 350? base 370's are going for like $21k now too

It was a lot of fun, but with the Nismo, I feel like I started better than where I left off, which to me is a great thing. It's stylish and turns heads, performs better than my 350Z, and makes me happy every time I turn it on. Which is why I'm not totally sweating putting aftermarket parts in it yet.


Looking at that list above kinda makes me sad a little.
