German Z

Hi all,
I'm Michael and I have a 370Z Roadster AT for almost exactly 1 year, and I still love her. Initially I tried to buy one of these rare special editions, but had to realize that these special editions are never roadsters. Slightly frustrated and because I didn't enjoy the original motor sound, I tried to make the best of it and took the chance of designing something like my own special edition: - foiled in black matt, - new suspension kit which brings the car a bit more down to the street, - remote controlled NAP exhaust system, - OZ Ultraleggera HLT 19'' in mattgraphite. I attache some photos, so you can see yourself how that looks like. Always have a safe trip! Michael |
Welcome. Good looking car!
|
WELCOME! Do you by any chance get to take that puppy on the Autobaun? :P
|
Welcome! Car looks amazing!

Michael!!! Yea super car! Nicely done and great photo's! Mountains and the Z go together! Nice to see someone 'create' a Z for themselves instead buying something else.

What's a remote controlled CAT exhaust system?

:hello:Welcome to our forum! |
I nearly moved to Germany and was in the process of trying to export my old base 2009 and let me tell you, it's nearly freaking impossible to meet their emissions standards. My move ended up getting called off at the last second but I was ready to put the car into storage.

Plus you need weird stuff like a big red triangle decal on the back of the car for some reason or something.

Hi Michael,
welcome to the forum - flat black is nice but soo sensitive regarding finger prints. A guy from Berlin/Germany like me...but I moved out of Germany to enjoy a TÜV free country here in NZ but I miss our Autobahn :eekdance: for some high speed drives. I have a Stillen CBE and Gen3 CAI but I'm still missing some more deeper sound - probably a few visits on a race track will help because just pass the 3k and we have highway limit of 100 only :mad: So hope to catch up with you and have fun in reading here through - there is nothing what you can't find... |
Hi all,
Many thanks for welcoming me so nice!! OK, a few more words in reply to the numerious comments. Of course I do take that thing to the Autobahn and push it (where permitted) until the limiter kicks in, which is around 250 km/h - good that we have the good old Autobahn. Concerning the exhaust system, I did a typo. I have a NAP (not a CAT) system (NAP-Exhaust Shop - ABE; Attrappe; Auspuff; Einbau; Endrohrvariante; Endtopf; ESD; Endrohr;" Endschalldämpfer"; KAT; Sportauspuff;" Sportschalldämpfer";V2A; Gruppe; rostfrei;" Tuning NAP - Exhaust Duplex Sport - ESD Nissan 370Z R18343), which comes with a small remote control, like a garage door opener, where I can remotely open and close the exhaust valve. If you want check out the sound, have an ear at this youtube video: 370Z Tuning mit Klappenauspuffanlage - YouTube. Sorry, I realized the typo when I was too tired already to correct it, which I hvae done now. The matt finish is not too sensitive at all. It might be that you see fingerprints on it, but how often do you touch your own car where the foil is. Only the trunk might be an issue insofar, because you need to lift the boot lid with your hands after releasing the lock. However, I admit that sometimes there are a few fingerprints, but I don't really care, as most of the time this is the area where the car is slightly dirty as soon as you drive on a wet street. Yo, coming to an end, one quick question, on which I didn't really find an answer in the forum: Can anyone give me a brief overview on alternative paddle shifters available on the market (alu, carbon, ...), because there seem not to be any alternative paddle shifter available in Germany. I found the TIDs, but these are terribly expensive. - Thanks. |
Thanks

Hi

WOW I love it, I used to visit Germany and all of my friends there every single year through the 2000's, I miss getting to see those mountains so much! It is easily the most amazing countryside I have ever seen. The alps just blow my mind and you are so lucky to be able to enjoy them with the Z! I hope you really get to enjoy the car as much as you can:)
