Hi From Dallas

osirus · 10-20-2013, 09:10 PM

New to the forums and to the community of Z owners. We, girlfriend and I just picked up from the Nissan Dealer - 2011 370Z Sport Package (so we were told), Black Metallic along with Anthracite(dark grey/gunmetal is what i thought) rims. Pics to come soon. It has 33K miles on it, and custom exhaust and front lip/spoiler, which we have yet to identify (help on here if anyone would like), plus it's 6M

Thanks for having us and all the wonderful forums and boards and tips!

Welcome to family and congrats on the purchase!

throw on some pictures of your front and under the hood and of your exhaust it wont take a moment for us to tell you what kind of mods have been done!

I took some shots this weekend, and I will be posting them in the AM when i'm at work. I thank you all so much for the help. Granted all the stuff that was done to this, was done prior to Her and I buying it. We love the car, just trying to identify and understand all it's beauty and persona.

So I took these this morning, having issues with Lightroom and post processing from the shoot this weekend. Let me know what you think and if you can at all help in ID the front for us both. Much appreciated and thanks again for all the warm welcomes.

Awaiting for Moderator approval I guess to post pics LOL

The front end looks like a "Nismo S-Tune OEM Kit".
Nismo S-Tune Front Chin Spoiler

the brakes and wheels look like base model (not sport) wit 18 inch rims (non sport)

SurfDog · 10-22-2013, 01:02 AM

Here is my list of recommended upgrades:
Diamond in the rough.
Its a good starter list of reliability and nuisance fixes

To the list for you I would recommend:

A bit pricey but will make your brakes track ready!

I believe you will need 19 inch wheels to run the bigger brakes. you van find great deals on them here:

example:
OEM Sport Rays with RE11's

Welcome to the forum!

osirus · 10-22-2013, 10:14 AM

@SurfDog.... Thanks so much...Now that you say it, and comparing a larger photo of the S Tune Front and mine it looks like an exact match. And I think you are right, the more and more i see , I don't think it's the sport package but might be, only reason why i say that is on the interior i have a lot of Sport Features, it seems the wheels and tires are the only thing not. WE both suspect Prev Owner had upgraded his rims and before he sold it, he put these back on it. Not sure... (shrug)

shawnski · 10-22-2013, 10:29 AM

it is the base, nothing wrong with that, i don't see rear spoiler either..
congrats on your z purchase..

Welcome and congrats.

If you're looking for a set of Sport wheels, PM me. I'm local (in Frisco) and have a set sitting in my attic I'd let go for fairly cheap. They're painted black and white so you'd probably want to repaint of have them powder coated to your liking, but they are scratch and road rash free.

I also do detail work on the side so if you want that paint looking good as new let me know. You can see a sample of my work here:
BMW 650 Convertible detail and paint restoration

dtul · 10-22-2013, 12:54 PM

Hey, welcome to the forums. I'm from Frisco as well. What dealer did you buy you car from that lied about the package on the car? I'd like to know just so I know to avoid them in the future. I've been very happy with my treatment from AutoNation Nissan Dallas, but I'm not 100% I will buy my next car from them, and it is just nice to know who to avoid.

@dtul - Thanks! We bought it from Trophy Nissan in Mesquite - Overall they were great, but they were not very well versed on the package or details on the car that is for sure. I noticed that it's missing spoiler, it's been debadged, the side skirt was damaged (noticed but they didn't wanna spend the body shop to fix) which to me is an easy replacement later. No worries since i know how to do all that. It has alot of interior add-ons which is nice, but i see improvement on the horizon already.

Let me know if you ever wanna do a meet or drive or something , i know GF and I are always looking to meet fellow enthusiasts.
