My First Nismo
 
Picked up a BLK 2020 Nismo last month. I debated A/T vs manual for a while, but went with A/T, mostly due to bad knee - I have a 96 Z32 TT 5spd for the times I want to shift. The car has only 5.7K and it's a lot of fun driving. It is pretty old by today's standards, but I love it.

This is my 2nd Nismo. Went with a A/T because I didn't want to deal with the trans issues. Post up some pictures of the new ride. :tup:

Nice Z!

I’ll make the request that you also post some pics of the 300ZX TT.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!

I'm having a rough time uploading pics - "Site Can't be reached" error. I'll try again later.

Basically, it's a BLK/BLK 96TT I purchased used with 35K on the ODO. Replaced wheels and lowered just a tad, did intake and exhaust, JDM front/rear bumper, updated radio to work with my iPod, otherwise it's all stock. It currently has maybe 113K. CEL came ON a couple weeks ago, traced to bad CAS harness - will fix next year when the car comes out of storage.


12/01/21 - still getting Site Can't Be Reached error, so I finally broke down and put some pics on Google photos just to upload here. Please enjoy - these are in random sequence.


Meanwhile, Mr. Admin., how do I fix this photo upload error?

Infront of Garage
Just a very nice summer day going through my weekend chores.

Busted Intercoolers after An Accident.
Rear took off on me when I hit a wet patch making a left turn, on throttle as I was going from 1 -> 2, from a stop light. Went over curb, all 4 wheels were severely damaged. Passenger door and front bumper damaged. No internal/structural damage except for intercooler. Ended up replacing with larger Stillen ones. Good news is that I changed all the old suspension pieces with new OEM ones and car drives way better.

Wheel-Tire Upgrade
SSR Professor SP1. Damaged wheels were same, but silver lips with black center spokes. I believe R:18x10.5; 285/35/18; F:18x9; 255/35/18. Don't recall offsets.

In Storage
I took this just after the accident damage was fixed - new intercoolers not installed.
