Those bumper LED's are going to be Iconic!

There's a big debate on the benefits of an intake so you have some reading to do. The basic power mods most do are the breathing mods, CBE, HFCs, CAI. Some, like myself, opted for the post MAF/drop-in route over the CAI.

I would recommend spacers and springs as well. :tup:

oh, an oil cooler is a must if you plan to track along with a few other things, but there are plenty of threads on that as well.

I saw the wheels in person. It's what impressed me most in the refresh. pics don't do the wheels justice. The upgrade is minimally subtle in pics but much more detailed and high quality in person. Congrats on your new ride. :tup:

bdavis89 08-20-2012 07:41 PM

Looks very nice, congrats!!

I'm guessing one thing many 2013+ owners will want to do is get the handles painted to match the new wheels. I know that would bother me!

Congratulations.
RE: mods: It may help to read other threads and figure out what style of driving you do. For me it was an oil cooler.

Zaggeron 08-20-2012 07:45 PM

Nice. Wheels look great!

jmin725 08-20-2012 07:55 PM

thanks all for the warm welcome! hmm...for a new z owner, does anyone have any neat tips or know any features that wouldnt obvious to the average eye? i do consider myself more of an enthusiast but just too eager! lol i do love how the ipod cover art comes up in the nav screen =)

yup will do. i'm not a racer or anythin but i do like to take corners a bit harder from time to time and do a little "spirited" driving as well.

rxdo 08-20-2012 07:59 PM

FCk that looks nice, honestly I didnt like the pics of the 2013 but that looks tough as sh1t

Be careful taking hard corners on bumpy roads. The Z is sensitive and hops in that situation. Easily fixed with springs and sways.

birdmanx1 08-20-2012 08:11 PM

Congrats, car looks fantastic. I had doubts about the front bumper but it looks fantastic on your car. :tup:

You're gonna need a car cover if you plan on leaving it out.

jmin725 08-20-2012 08:56 PM

hmm.quick question guys..before I turn off my car, I always turn off my a/c and air altogether (habit). When I get back in the car and turn the air on, the settings are always back to 75 degrees and the recirculation button is sometimes on and sometimes off. also, it seems that when I do have recirculation on while I drive, it'll turn off by itself sometimes and I don't have auto on either..any ideas? thanks!

sillyoldtayo 08-20-2012 09:08 PM

nice ride!

w0rM 08-20-2012 09:13 PM

Gun metal or go home baby! haha

Congrats and welcome!

LakeShow 08-20-2012 09:42 PM

Congrats! Looks great!

rhd 08-20-2012 10:05 PM

Nice! Love the color, wheels are awesome, enjoy!

:tiphat:

bigsix 08-20-2012 11:01 PM

Sweet. Looks good w/ the new wheels and led day-lights !

nguyenulm 08-21-2012 06:04 AM

Sweet ride homie! Are you planning to mod it or anything?

UruZai 08-21-2012 06:19 AM

Damn looking good! I can't wait to get mine in but sadly I gotta wait a couple more months...

msb3079 08-21-2012 08:51 AM

Looks really good. Better than I expected!
I'd recommend spacers and springs, ASAP!

Nissan needed a refresh on those door handles as well. :rolleyes:

chubbs 08-21-2012 10:14 AM

Congratulations on the new car. That front view photo makes it look like it's just about to eat the car in front.

Can't wait till we get the new version here in England.

jburke26 08-21-2012 10:32 AM

Man i am so jealous! My '13 Gun Metal Z can't get here fast enough!!!!!!

1st 08-21-2012 10:55 AM

Is that a functional rear fog light or just a red cap? Congrats on the new Z enjoy it.

dennis26 08-21-2012 11:30 AM

Congrats on the new ride. Like the wheels.

Nice JM, make sure that you park on the corner if you can to prevent dingy dings. His is a '13 so he doesn't have to worry about adding the oil cooler since its standard now.

brucelidat 08-21-2012 12:37 PM

the standard oil cooler is great for normal driving, but many members who have ti have said it is not adequate for heavy tracking. It might be ok in cooler months depending on how hard you push (novice like me), but probably not for more seasoned trackers or in the hotter months

Nope its just a reflector red cap. I went to my local nissan and looked at it in person. Per Fairlady Z

So with this being said does anybody know if that can be put on an 09-11 model Z(compatible)
