From G to Z -- New 370Z Owner
 

What's up everyone, name's Jon! I purchased my new girl, a 2013 Nissan 370Z, on October 16th and I'm loving her so far. The situation I had when I bought it was a once in a lifetime deal. It was a repossessed lease, had 12k miles on it. The dealership wanted to get it off the lot as soon as possible. So I basically got this car 20k off MSRP... :tup: Coming from a 2004 G35, this car is like a whole different story. My plan is to make the Z look and drive like a completely different car by next year. I'll update as my build continues, of course.


This was my G35. I owned it for a whole 6 months... :icon17:

First mod was tints. (Along with some simple lighting upgrades.)

Headlights stay on with LED DRLs.

Some interior stuff I just finished up:

iPad integrated into the dash.

It's 7AT with a shift boot, yeah... hold the hate. Pretty clean if you ask me!

Very nice!! Congats and welcome!!

Thank you! :tiphat:

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Thanks Genaro!

:welcome:
And congrats.
:icon17: your excitement is very evident. :tup: i still feel that way. I love Harry, I bought him brand new in May 2012. :happydance::driving: always.

Haha really? I tried to keep the excitement minimal. I'm trying to look cool on the forums ya know... :cool: Thank you though!

Welcome! Car looks good. Just a heads up the F.I. LTHs are going to eliminate the stock cats and bolt right up to the y-pipe so you should see if you can get out of your order on the berks/return them.

Wow good call, didn't even think about that. Good thing I didn't put the order in for the headers yet.

Does anyone know what headers would be second best that aren't long tube?

Nice car bro!

Thanks!

I think PPE performance makes a set of shorties. The cost VS HP increase is steep so not many people go that route.

Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the family and really nice mods!

thanks!

Welcome!

How did you mount your iPad? It looks good.

congrats dude!!! an welcome :hello:

Car has great attention to detail. Congrats man! Love the manual boot in the auto makes it special

Theres a few threads on how to do it on here. Basically took off everything to get to the hinges on the back of the cubby, took it off, then used strong magnets (neodymium) and industrial strength velcro to make the iPad stay on there.

Thanks!

Haha thanks man.

Congrats & Welcome! Came from an 04 G35C to a 13Z as well. As good as the G35 was, I gotta agree the 13Z is more fun :tup:

Yeah I loved the G but had to move on to faster and more fun things :icon17:

thanks for retiring your G35C, the kenchan thanks you. :tup:

kenchan, the G35C is still a great looking car, hang on to that puppy :tiphat:

congrats and welcome, i can relate to this as well the diff was night and day

Congrats & welcome. Z looks good!
