I pick my new 370 up in exactly 48 hours. Here's some pics from when the dealer first had it delivered and I sat in it last Friday. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

:happydance:

I'll post some pics in the new owners section when I actually get the car this Thursday.

Congrats! 13 miles on the odometer:icon17: although I thought they test drove them on the Nissan test track for longer?

Nope, not anywhere near 13 miles on it yet. This is a Canadian model, and that's only 13 KILOMETRES on it LOL A lot less!

Thanx for the good wishes, guys, I am climbing the walls while I wait for it.

NissanGuy23 12-18-2012 11:24 AM

Awesome, you have a few days to drive it before the world ends

nmjaxx9 12-18-2012 11:54 AM

Yep, I've got these 19" Nismo RAYS rims pictured below being installed with Bridgestone Blizzaks - the regular 19" RAYS shown on the car in the first post are getting stored for the winter. They're also installing illuminated kickplates, I get the windows tinted the afternoon I pick it up, and on the 27th I take it in to install the Invidia Gemini Rolled Titanium tip catback Exhaust system (didn't want to install the system until I drove it round stock so I can see an improvement :happydance:).

Wow nice car man congrats and enjoy it! Not only will you get a new car in about 48hrs. But you will also get a lot of stair downs from people on the road for not being able to afford such a sports car. Along with friends, co-workers hell even family that will probably talk smack behind your back. Remember that it comes with the business. Oh and don’t for get to take care of her.

6MT 12-18-2012 02:01 PM

How did I miss this one?






















Hi

gr8-wrx 12-18-2012 02:42 PM

Nice looking car!

gplw 12-18-2012 03:59 PM

Thanx everyone for the well wishes. The hours are counting down :)

Schsplayer00 12-18-2012 04:02 PM

Nice Bro you have my interior, that is the best looking color IMO. I have black with the persimmon. Looks sick. I like the silver with it to but could not located a silver when i was purchasing.

Mitco39 12-18-2012 04:42 PM

I think I would cry a little taking a brand new Z out on the salty winter roads. I couldn't imagine doing it with mine. But each to their own! Enjoy it :D

Schsplayer00 12-18-2012 04:49 PM

Just make sure you give it a good detail after each exposure haha

How much you paid for the Nismo rims.?

$1600 US for ALL FOUR, they are not "take-offs", they were brand new in the box, never used, genuine OEM Rays forged 19" rims. Considering the dealer here in Canada would want $1600 EACH for the new Rays that come on the car, I was pretty pleased. They were purchased off eBay, but came from a specialty Rims dealer in Florida. Shipping was free to Michigan, and I drove the hour to cross the border and pick them up a few weeks ago. Getting them to Singapore might cost you a bit more ;) (The pics of the rims I posted came from the original eBay ad).

Wow! Thanx to everyone. Glad I'm getting my first Z, but also glad I joined this forum.

I pick her up at 9:30am Thursday 20th December, so about 53 hours from now. Um, no, make that 16 hou... oops, 7 hours. Crap! Should have said 12 hours. Wait a sec, I think it's... Forget it, clearly I get stupid when I'm anxiously waiting for a toy. I pick it up 9:30 am tomorrow :tup:

Happens to be my birthday.
Got mine, new, in December of 2009. Even greater thrill for me than closing on our fist house.
Enjoy, but check the car over very carefully before you hand over the check. After I got home, one day and 225 miles later, I noticed a small ding that I'm sure happened during shipping and it was my responsibility.

Mr&Mrs 12-19-2012 05:36 PM

Congrats! Love that interior color.

:tup:Lol! Mt. Tam took the words straight out of my mouth! :bowrofl:
:tup:Thx gplw for the update-we are all excitedly impatiently waiting too:tup:

Just to add, make sure they do a good job on the clean up. I got mine home and a day or so later noticed what looked like scratches all over it that I had not noticed before. I was livid. Turns out though, it was adhesive residue from the plastic that covered the car for shipping. It looked clean when I picked it up, but those tiny lines of the residue attracted dust and looked like scratches. I spent a couple hours cleaning the whole car because and got it all off. If they did not do it right the first time, I was not taking it back for them to screw something else up.

Congrats, and enjoy it!

gplw 12-20-2012 06:00 AM

EXACTLY 2 1/2 hours... :icon14:

Well, at first I thought "man, that's a lot of money for one day's use" but then I thought what the hell, the world's ending anyway! :happydance:
