That's the color I wanted, and couldn't find. Beautiful car.

Thanks it took a while to find even new and was still 2000 miles away first time I've ever bought something so far away and new and haven't ever sat in it yet.

Congratulations and welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

Be careful of the rabbit hole. Once you start down it. There is no coming back.

Beautiful color. Those and the BC remain my favorite. Great to have you, welcome to the forum!

That was my first choice for color.

If you run into any issues with BP kit install, there are a some really great resources here you can tap into. Lots of guys really stepped up and helped me out during mine and answered all my dumb questions.

Congrats! These are so wonderful cars!
I recommend your first oil change at 1,000 miles and use Redline 5W-40, which is top notch. A little pricey but worth it. It is a synthetic ester formula. Nissan recommends ester oil, which I believe is to protect the plasma sprayed pistons, at least from my understanding. The 40 weight is a must in hot climates. I used to live in Florida and now live in Vegas. I have 26,000 miles on my '17 and change the oil every 5,000 miles. Doesn't burn a drop this far.

Thanks for all the warm welcoming much appreciated, My Z speed Clutch Package is supposed to be here today, Turbo kit may ship this week as well
I'm pretty excited I hope I don't have any issues with the install to be honest but if I do I will be that guy asking, I have a fully equipped shop with a lift so should be good maybe.

Jlarson has a great write up in his build thread and worth looking over. JLarson's build thread
This little bit will help save some time and swear words:

There is a dimple in the pipe that sits over the top of the bolt but flipping the bolt over gives you a lot more room to maneuver in that tight space.
