New to Me 370Z
 
Hey-

My name is Jonathan and new to the forums. I was a lurker while I was shopping my next car. After a few test drives I decided the 370Z would be the next toy.

Previously owned and sold:
2005 Mustang GT 450rwhp/470rwtq
1968 Mustang Coupe small block 289
2008 BMW 335i Sedan 350rwhp/380rwtq (fuel system nightmare!!!! :roflpuke2::eek dance:)
2013 Infiniti G37s Sedan stock

Picked up a 2009 Z with 15k miles on it for a STEAL. Mint! Still smells like new!

Mods performed/parts ordered:
Steering lock fuse removal, LOL
HKS Hi Flow full exhaust
Swift Springs
20 mm spacers (4 corners)
Pioneer 4000NEX w/ backup camera
Tint, Valintine1, etc…

Probably picking up the Evo-R carbon fiber fang covers and Fujimura rear valence soon. Letting my card cool off. Maybe carbon fiber blades but probably not… Not sure I want to deal with the hassles I did on all my previous cars of being terrified of bumps, lol.

Anyways… :tiphat:

Man… Bring your wallet, credit card, 2nd mortgage, first born type of car. I mean those twin turbos when they work the car is magic. Unfortunately I spent more time daydreaming it worked as it should and even more time praying for a fix.

2.5 fuel systems later… I gave up and sold it with full disclosure of course and lost my A**, lol. I think the new owner was going to gut the thing anyways. Who knows. Glad to be here and apart of the community. Just got back from tint and Im trying to figure out how I managed to live so long without this car. Haha

Same here. After I graduated I had the choice of the BMW or 350Z (at that time.) Thank god I chose the BMW cause looking at the 350Z now, its way too round xD Love how the 370Z is a little more complex and how the look changed.

Same here. I graduated and went BMW, typical I guess, and didn't look anywhere else. The allure of the N54 engine… :yum:

Yeah, 350Z never did it for me. The body lines said nothing to me. Didn't like how the side windows ran perfectly straight. Love what they did with the 370Z and bringing it back to the old Datsun days. It has so many great lines and shapes.

Congratulations and welcome! :tiphat:

I, too, had several Mustangs (including a '68 GT and a '02 GT) and don't miss them one bit since buying my Z last year.

Great mods on your Z!
