Nissan 370Z Forum - New 370Z Owner in Tennessee

Hello!

I've been snooping around the forum for a few weeks now, because I was looking at getting a 370Z. I have owned several Z cars in the past, and 240SX's.

Above is my 5.3l LS powered '90 S13.

I started out with a black top SR20DET, but after a ride in a few V8 powered cars, I had to make the jump. So I really loved the car but after seeing the going prices for these cars I decided to get out while I could make some money. So I sold the S13 and bought this.

The Z06 was one hell of a car, but as you can see in the background I had two more projects to work on. I originally bought the Z06 to be my "reliable" DD, and it was reliable. However, it was too nice to drive everyday. I was paying a lot of money for a garage queen, and it was taking away money from the other projects.

So I sold the Z06, and decided to get something a little more practical.

2013 Sport-Touring
Fully loaded with 55k-ish miles on the clock. I really wanted another white Z, like my Z32, and this Z33 I bought new back in 2008, but the Magma Red Metallic looked too good in the sun, and it was a good deal to boot.

I would have some better pics of the Z34, but currently it is at the dealership getting the CSC replaced. It wasn't a total failure but the "marbles in a can" was so loud, I took the car back to the dealer, and they agreed to replace the CSC free of charge. My 350Z always had the noise, but at 205k miles with all the original clutch system, it never made 1/3 of the noise this car was making. Lucky me, the dealer did me right.

So I've been a member on several of the other Nissan forums, My350Z, Zilvia, NicoClub, silviav8forums, but I haven't been super active. So I hope I can at least offer some productive commentary or advice on this forum.
