So I ended up buying the 2014 370z MT base+ sport package in pearl white. Man, I am not regretting in one bit except for my initial plan not going as planned. I was supposed to sell my truck for a fat down payment but since my truck took a **** on me, I have a higher monthly payment.

I ended up buying the Z from Fontana Nissan. I am a first time buyer so all the loans I was approved for we're around 11%-12% APR'(I don't have bad credit, just not established). So when Fontana Nissan was able to get my financing through NISSAN, I was stoked! The APR wasn't ideal, but a whole lot better than 12% (refinancing in 6 months).

I'm loving the Z and everything about it. I know I made the right choice. Thanks a lot to all fellow Z owners for input. I'll try to get some pics up as soon as I have a chance!

I'll see if I can make it. Just depends on my schedule. I haven't been to a car meet since my RX-7 days lol.

I would lease a '14 nismo and see what the Z35 looks like when the details come out in 6-12months time.

Luciano13 · 03-08-2014, 08:57 AM

Congrats on the PW 14'

11-12% interest

That's nuts

hopefully in the 6 month you can bring that down to at least under 5%

kenchan · 03-07-2014, 08:06 PM

k, that was quick...

kenchan · 03-07-2014, 09:06 PM

Congrats Supermade

RoshDawg · 03-08-2014, 11:09 AM

If the Z35 was going to be released as a MY 2015 car, then it would be revealed by now. As some other ppl said we're looking at 2016 by the earliest.

kenchan · 03-08-2014, 11:45 AM

but to the op- congrats on getting the car.

im not here to ruin your new car experience nor here to preach to you.

my comments are more in general sense.

If he ends up wanting a Z35 instead in a few years, a lease allows him the easiest way out of his Z34 given that our cars don't exactly retain their value very well.

I realize that this is all moot given that the OP appears to have financed a car, but your comment just came across as a "leasing is bad" generalization I hear all too often from customers who simply don't understand how they work.

As for the OP, congrats on the purchase. Wish I had read this thread earlier as I'm always happy to help a fellow forum member out with a new vehicle purchase.

OP, said he bought a new 2014. I don't understand why people always want to rain on someones parade

It's all good. Can't really expect much in the WEBZ. I know I made a great decision and don't regret it . Should I have bought a house instead? Probably. The way I see it, I'm paying my dues for my credit so when it's time to buy a house, I can get a prime loan. None of that 30yr BS. I'm a frequent contributor of MyFico forums.

I'm just happy to be a Z brother. What should be my first mod? Oil cooler? Anything recommended?

I want to get a pair of Bride seats and a Borla/meisterchaft exhaust. That's something that's will be down in 3-6 months though.

Don't need an oil cooler unless you plan on taking your car to a track on a regular basis..oil will usually never go above 200 with everyday driving..

My first mod..well was to upgrade the stereo system..other than driving the car..the radio will get the most use..

2nd) was the exhaust. Almost a must-have..stock is far to quiet for a sports car

3/4th ) is going to be a cf lip and duckbill spoiler that will be delivered by late next week.

5th) Save

6th) Up in the air right now..possibly a CF rear diffuser.. or CF sideskirts...Cold air Intake (probably the best choice) or save some more for a new set of wheels.

Supermade, You sound like a young man with some class

. Don't lose focus on purchasing your house, so mod wisely and drive safely.

My idea of cost efficient modding is to decide what you will use the car for (track, 1/4 mile, autocross, daily driver) and mod accordingly.

Example, mine is a daily driver and I plan on keeping it for 5 years so I don't want to pour a lot of money into it but make it a little more comfortable and fun. Also I did not want to do anything to void Nissan' warranty and make it as attractive as possible for a future buyer, too many mods, may give the impression of abuse whether it was or not.

So my mods were simple and achieved my goals, RJM clutch pedal, tinted windows, dynamatting doors/hatch and an exhaust. No external mods as I think the 13 sport is a very nice looking car as is.

Don't think you'll need an oil cooler unless you're tracking and I'd go with the exhaust before seats. Congrats again and happy driving

There's no way I'll give up my seats with airbags for a daily driven car.
