Geetings from Houston TX

JP's 370nismo · 10-31-2011, 09:08 AM

Good Morning! just wanted to take the opportunity to introduce my self, I have a 2011 370 Nismo, Brilliant silver #0327, 7xxx miles on the odometer, 4 months old. Im a Machinist and a decent mechanic (imho). This is my first Z, and my frist Nissan(besides a Sentra I had for a few months back in the 90's).

I have owned over 30 vehicles in my short 25 years driving, and this is one of my favorites. I bought it in the search of the pure sport feeling that my third gen RX7 used to give me.

I tinted the windows (20%) all the way around, Had the DEALER install a GTM 25 row oil cooler(what warranty issue.... you installed it !!!) and have yet to check the front suspension for the forgotten spring spacers.

I will endeavor to post write ups, pics, and generally try contribute something of value at my earliest opportunity. this is to help me with my internet guilt complex (read tons off stuff NEVER ever posted anything).

so..... this is it for now, btw what the heck is this

?

The Nismo is great! good handeling decent acceleration and great styling. I get a ton of complements. The oil temperature issue was concerning me since it is super hot here in Houston. I would down shift to 3dr on the freeway and hot dogged a little bit and the temperatures would start to climb right away, now with the oil cooler it does not get pass 180 degrees. I feel the car is almost perfect, all it needs is a little more horse power. I think Nissan does not want to compete with its own GTR, but if this car had 500 horses it would spank half of the exotics out there!!
