[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!

Wow!! Early 09 OG member :tup:

Longtime my350z member and needed to sign up here back in 09 to see all the pics.


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

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! :tiphat:

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! :tup:

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.
