10.5 years of



traded in for



[Happy Bday to me, Happy Bday to me....]

The 350 was a base model, soooo many new buttons to play with!

Thanks to all those DIY - ers for leading the way and taking the time for write ups; I have a double din nav unit & rear speakers enroute and having all the info with pics on this site will help me in pulling everything out & will save me much time (and a few less broken clips / bits)

Great site!

6 years is a long time to be jealous of the 370

2 day, 185 mile impression; it's a MASSIVE leap up in ride and power,

Con: AT

Pro: 7 speed flappy paddle shifter fun!

Con: no rear speakers... wtf nissan, why not just put 1 speaker in the middle of the dash circa 1970s...

Pro: 7 speed flappy paddle shifter fun!!

[unrelated side note; I'd advise against anyone buying a used lemans sunset 6MT Z in Florida for some months to come... ]

Now that's a Happy Birthday to me gift! Enjoy the car!
Is it a '16?

Thanks, I decided a black Z was better than the standard black balloons (for birthdays ending with a Zero)

It's a '15, was marked down ~4800 less then it's 16 sport twin sitting right next to it (and I got the lighted doorsill 'Z' also, worth at least 5 HP I'm told)

Just chased in by impressive lightning storm from first waxing, impressive dirt / dust layer (volcanic ash??) layer under the top of the rear hatch; waaaay worse than on my 350 after 10+ years, that's after the dealership made us wait >hour to 'detail', like I wouldn't have done it today anyway.

[unrelated, no idea how to change the 'drives: 04 LS 6MT' to the new toy, went to my user page but missed it]

Still reading all the DIYs, considering blacking out all the silver/chrome but it feels criminal to touch those Rays [long time Ray envy talking here!]

Go to User Control Panel. At the top of the menu on the left you should see "Edit Your Details". Click that and then you should see the "Drives:" text box - it is listed last in the Required Registration Information box at the top of the page.

congrats man! i, too, traded my 07 Z (base as well) for my current 09 Z.

nice touch on upgrading the 06+ wheels for the 350.

Congrats!

MB is a great choice. A bitch to keep clean, but looks so good when it is. Enjoy the flappy paddles. I know I do!

Parking the 350 like this never worried me.

Just back from errands in rain storm, the VDC really helps, the 350 would spin both tires from a stop at the sight of a rain cloud.

burntz

Thanks to helpful DIYs and the bigaudiofan thread for assist



Still need to get the swc working

And decided to "black chrome" everything shiny...



hopefully it will hold up over time!

burntz

Back on! Now I'll just keep it in the garage....

while waited for paint to dry...


pre



post, don't zoom in too much because I have a nasty wrinkle, this is harder than YouTube vids make it look!

homelink mysteriously working today after I managed to kill it during stereo install yesterday, thanks anti-gremlin.
