Nissan 370Z Forum - New to the forum! Happy Holidays all :)

Alright so I posted up last night, and said my thread had to be moderated, but it instantly appeared - and it was blank. :icon14: Sooo, let's try it again. :wtf2:

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm new to the forum, and don't have a 370Z yet. I'm currently [stuck] in a 2012 Honda Civic Coupe lease that doesn't end till May of 2015, so I have time to read and learn about the 370Z, and picked up a 2nd job to work through all of 2014 and rake in as much cash as I can to be prepared when the time does indeed come.

A little about my motorized vehicle past ... when I was 16 I was bit hard by the mod bug before I even owned a car. Worked my arse off and bought myself a new model (2005) Hyundai Tiburon GT.

Being as I was 16, I went through a rice stage adding altezza tails and lambo doors, then kinda toned it back and left the body kit, lambos and some 18" wheels...

...But the motor wasn't pretty..

and buy the time I finished it and sold it, the car looked like this:

This was the end result before I sold it...

So, reason I sold it was that I was now about 20 years old and after all that money into the Tiburon, it was still a slow car. I wanted RWD, and I wanted muscle so I bought a used 2004 Pontiac GTO. Again, jumped right into modding it - bought long tube headers, short throw shifter, slp exhaust, intake, and some other stuff ... I also had a cam waiting to go in it.

However, before I installed the cam, I pulled the trigger on getting a motorcycle and the GTO got put to the wayside.

Rode that for a season, decided I wanted a FI bike, so I got an 06' ZX6R 636. Did a lot of work to that bike over the winter only to find out that the engine was on its way out the door.

So I ditched the 636 fast and decided to go new with a 2012 Kawasaki Z1000

I then lost 75lbs, and joined the military so I sold my bike and my car. However, after 4 weeks of BMT, a pre-existing injury presented itself and they sent me back home.

When I got home, bikes were still my focus so I leased my Honda Civic (sigh), and bought a 2007 Yamaha R6

Well, I love motorcycle racing, but primarily MotoGP (Go MM93!) and dumped ridiculous money into the R6 to convert it to a Rossi Replica from the old Yammy days

My primary riding style is hitting mountain roads, dragging knee. Love it :excited: .. I also bought a 2013 Kawasaki 300 to convert to a Track-Only bike, however, after purchasing all my track gear, I decided against it - I decided I want to get back into cars. So come Spring, I'll be selling both motorcycles.

Sooooo, yeah, that's my automotive background for the last 9 years ... looking forward to learning about the 370Z and baring any unforeseen issues, look forward to owning one in 1 year!
