Hey everyone. Maybe a little late to the party but I just picked up my first Z, an '09 370Z.

I had been looking for months around my area (central PA) and was specifically looking for the magnetic black 6MT Touring w/sport package (the Nismo was a bit out of my budget for now). I found the exact model I wanted was a little harder to come by than I thought when I first started this journey.

I had looked at a few newer ones with low mileage, but I was disappointed in the condition of the exterior - dings, scratches, faded trim, etc on all of them. Why can't people take care of such awesome machines? Anyway, I finally came across one with higher mileage (~60,000) but the body and interior were immaculate. I could tell the previous owner actually cared about her. The higher mileage was a bit worrysome at first, but I jumped on the deal and haven't been happier!

This is my first Nissan after a string of Hondas/Acuras. I'm a pretty competent home mechanic but realize I have a lot to learn about these beasts. Looking forward to learning, experimenting, and sharing with the forum!

BTW I threw a pic up in the New 370Z Owner sticky in case anyone is curious... many more to come!

Welcome!

Any plans mod wise?

Oh yes. Lots of mods beginning with exterior. Its quick enough compared to the B series engines I'm used to

engine mods probably will be next year but they will happen!
