Hey... posted some pics of my new MB NISMO, here:

Nissan 370Z Forum - SteelMoments's Album: 검은용

Enjoy!

Nice!

The Black Nismo is Sick! Congratulations! You are one lucky SOB.

Nismo Suspension

Re: NISMO suspension
 

Thanks G. I saw that this morning in fact. I didn't have time to jack my car up before heading off to work, but I did stick my arm in and feel all the way around the coil... As far as I could tell, no spacers. I'll jack it up this weekend and have a closer look.

Thanks much. Everyone here is great!

Oh, and I did already add myself to the NISMO registry, #409.

Thanks much! I've only wanted a Z car since I was like about 7 (back then, it was the Datsun 280ZX). I made a small bundle of $$ on my company's stock, and my gf and I just split, so I figured now was the time. Traded in my '05 Tiburon SE M6, which I loved (and still do)... but not as much as this car. ;)

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
I live in the greater Boston area and also own a 2010 MB Nismo. I've only seen one other Nismo in the area (a pearl white one).
Where abouts in Boston are you located? Send me a PM. Maybe we can hook up sometime. I've got the name of a great tuning shop here, when you are ready to do some mods (they just installed an oil cooler on my Nismo).
Welcome!
Jim

Very nice!!

:hello:

get money, ditch old gf, buy car! sounds like your set!!!

congrats

Thanks! I haven't seen any other nismos... plenty of Zs tho. I'm in Arlington... for the moment, I'm not too interested in performance mods, the oil cooler being the only likely exception in the short term. Did you check with your dealer to see if that would cause you warranty grief? Which cooler did you pick up?

I'm a little more interested in exterior/interior mods... I'd like to tint my windows, possibly get smoked headlights (though it seems this may be illegal in MA -- but all the info I've seen is conflicting, and couldn't find anything definitive on the RMV site). I'd also like to upgrade the stereo -- I'd like something that sounds better than the stock, but doesn't cost a fortune.

Are there any groups that meet in the area? Getting together would be cool.

Hey welcome.

I'm North of Boston and no we haven't had any meet ups yet, really need to set one up before the cars go away for the Winter. The only "meets" I've done in recent days are for auto-x or track :) Still haven't seen another 370 (driving) at either. Another auto-x tomorrow, w00t!

I think the oil cooler is a definite requirement for the Nismo if you are going to track it. Don't understand why Nissan didn't build this into the Nismo. I am not too concerned about warranty. The car is not a DD.
I had the Stillen oil cooler (19-row) installed. Had Kaizen Tuning in Acton do it. Great shop! I highly recommend them. In fact they've got an anniversary get together at their shop next Sunday, 10/10. There's a posting somewhere on this forum about this. Come on up. I'll probably be there.
I spoke to the guys at Kaizen Tuning about window tinting. They seem to know the details (i.e. law) and can line you up with a good shop to do this.

ChrisSlicks,
I see your posting every now and then about auto-X events at Devens. I'm still breaking in my car (only 900 miles on her). As soon as she's broken in I definitely want to do some track events (though at the rate I'm going it will probably be next spring). Any local clubs, or websites, I can connect up with for track time and auto -X events in the area?

Jim

Nice... A buddy at work does Auto-X at Devens... he has a Subie STI but runs with the BMWCCA. You ride with the Corvette club? I think I saw a post somewhere on the net from someone driving a Z who rides with them...

I haven't done any autocross yet but I'm signed up for the BMWCCA autocross school at Devens in October. Registration is still open but you're not likely to get a spot if you're not already registered... there are like 30 people waiting already.

Yeah except now I don't have a girl or any money... At least I have a sexy car to drive! ;)
