Taking the plunge back into Z land
 

I have had 260z 280zx Turbo (one of my favorite cars of all time) and a 300zx twin Turbo.
Now I have decided to return to the Z family:tiphat:. I am buying a used 20,000 miles, 2011 Nismo with Stillen CAI and top speed pro one exhaust. Has a few other upgrades as well and an extended warranty which is nice I think.
It's been a long journey of m3's', Z06, Cayman to name a few.
I'm excited to get back in the Z and have some fun again. First thing I am doing is oil cooler to keep is cool on the track.
This forum has been fantastic and I appreciate all the work people put in their posts:icon18:
Hopefully I can add some value

:tup:

glad i could help... :ugh2:

welcome back :D

Probably getting it on Friday will post pics:ughdance::owned:

I would wait to see what 2016 has in store for the Z. If you don't like you can always go back to this gen.

Thanks but I don't want a new one, I have taken enough wacking on depreciation of buying new cars in my life, and I love the looks of this one.

yah, i like the pre2014 nismo's better myself.

Interesting that you used to have a M3 and a Cayman cause thats what I want next. What caused you to shed those to come back to Z land?

$$$$
 

Had them when things were better financially. I have been driving a Passat which is a great car for the last 3 years.

No ... no ...

buy now, keep Nismo for collection AND buy the new Z three years after it comes out so they can resolve the steering lock, oil cooling, and brakes issue on it.

:stirthepot:

Welcome back! I bought my 370 a year ago tomorrow after not owning a Z for over 20 years( last one was a 280z) and I have really enjoyed playing with this one!

:hello: So, you wanna be cool again? Drive a sexy car known for it's repeated collisions, and chicks staring you down almost on a daily basis???!!!! :yum:

:gtfo2: Just joking, but not really

I stole this response from onzedge.

Good call on the Nismo... good luck on the purchase and welcome to the forum!

Welcome back to the dark side, they always come back (I think its the free cookies!).

Nice purchase... Im sure the Z will be much easier to maintain. Where in FL are you located?

I like ladies old and young.

OP, welcome aboard, another FL member YAY :hello::hello:

:rofl2:

Tell me about it, its been shity all over it seems, but come one, Florida Monday mugshots are a pick me up moment(s) :rofl2:

We know, you getting groped by the guy on the right is normal :icon23:

only pick me up moment i get is when i clock out and sit in my z and drive home lol

I can respect that! I totally know that feeling!

LOLLLL:bowrofl:

got to say driving with a bad sunburn is not comfortable or cool even in the z lol

I just bought my 8th Z car, a 2014 Touring Sport in PW. Since the 350 Z came back, I had been looking at the occasional Z's on the dearler's showroom floor every time my wife would pick up a new Murano, finally got one 3 years ago, a 2011. I started eary with a '70 240Z, a 260Z, a couple of 280's, and a couple of 280ZX's, the most recent of which was a 280ZX Turbo. Then...kids and our first house happened, and Nissan kind of lost me when the Z concept morphed into a bloated luxo-cruiser with the 300s. Now...kids are gone, house is paid for. This being Minnesota, the Z is a 6-months-of-the-year vehicle (if that), and my daily driver has to be a 4wd truck for the snow/ice and the horse/boat/snowmobile/etc trailers that are a mandatory part of living in northern Minnesota. The 370 Z is a great sports car, every bit as much fun as I remember my 240 Z was 45 years ago. Congratulations.

Interestingly, that turbo made the 280ZX Turbo one of the fastest imports in the US back then. They added the turbo because the thing was becoming fatter and emission-laden to the point where the normally-aspirated 280ZX was slower than the 240Z. As fast as I remember my 280ZX Turbo being, 0-60 was like 7.1 seconds according to Car & Driver and my recollection. My 370Z does that in 4.5 seconds according to my Dynolicious app, 4.8 seconds according to Car & Driver, and 5 seconds according to Edmunds.

Me getting gropped by the guy washed out the displeasure by me groping the chicks.:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

so maccool is like a 100yrs old? :confused:..

Sometimes it feels that way.
