Just got my baby
 

Just picked up a new 2013 Nismo 370z with Bose(no kick plates or rear view can). Got it yesterday from PA and drove home in snow :shakes head: . But the car handled much better then I thought it would. Just took it to the beach and back and there's a slight burning smell(no I'm not feathering the crap outta the clutch lol). I think the smell is normal for new car right?

But I am loving the way the car handles. Best handling car I've driven yet. Haven't taken it past 4.5rpm for first thousand miles or so to break her in just right lol.

I went from:
silver 05 maxima(transmission went twice)
Then got new 2010 g37s white (some lady pulled out to make a turn and I couldn't avoid her) (totaled oct 2012)
Now Nismo 370z

Been on the forum for a while learning alot.

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Check out a Clearbra before your vulnerable front end gets all chipped up, then relax and enjoy your beautiful new car.

smell is normal, and congrats!

Very nice! But what does feathering the clutch mean?

Been trying to find a place to get a clear bra on Long Island.

(someone correct me if im wrong) feathering the clutch is when shifting you hold the clutch at the "threshold" where it engages for to long which will burn the clutch out

My car didn't come with wheel locks so ive been looking all through the forums and noticed I have to get special wheel locks because some crack.

The TSB is for 2009 370Z's so I'm not sure if this is the same model number for the whee locks that would work on 2013 370Z NISMO 19" RAYS...

I posted on there but haven't gotten a response yet.

Thanks

left foot riding the clutch no matter what.

Congrats on your new Z! keep lots of towels and learn how to pat dry your car. That's how I dry my car. Lot's of 2.5 x 2.5 micro fiber towels laid on the car after a car wash and pat dry the heck out of it.

or floating the clutch at a stoplight on a hill. That'll burn it up quick

Hola

Black looks sweet. Grats.

I believe feathering simply means the process in which you slightly let up on the clutch and engage the tranny, how you feather it can be different from one person to another. Riding the clutch too much is when you'll start burning it, and is a bad feathering technique lol. Anyways congrats on the Nismo!

Thanks all.

Just did my first mod! Wheel locks lol. I put 2 on each wheel which will hopefully prevent my wheels from getting legs and walking off.
Also got the moweraxle tow hook license plate mount which I haven't put on yet bc I love not having a front license plate. Damn New York and there laws lol

Congrats and Welcome!

Texas has a law about that too... But I refuse to ruin the clean look of my front end lol.

may I ask how much did you pay for your nismo? i just got an offer from a local dealership quoted $41.5 for a base nismo...is this a good offer?

Oh crap this is about someone getting a new car. I was hoping Kate or William were site members and were checking in.

Oh, and congrats to you too AK. ;)
