NISMO is an expensive body kit. You'll probably change the suspension they come stock with. Forget a GTR. My husband is a nissan service writer... $6000 brake jobs.

You're young, you'll get over it.

This character is north of the burgh, I'm south of the burgh. Welcome to the forum.

For tuning. I went with RT Tuning out east. Vince is top notch!

Tracking. PittRace runs 3 groups. Group 1 for starting out with an instructor. Group 2 is with an instructor until he signs you off. Then you can do Group 2 Solo. These run in the morning. The first 25 who sign up run. Group 3 is in the afternoon. This is mostly for the race guys, instructors and the go fast crazies. The first 25 here too.

The Z for you would be a Sport/Touring. It's got the big brakes on it, and the wider rims. you would need a Z1 34 row cooler, stainless lines, good brake fluid. Something like Motul 600. If you get a manual. Flush the clutch line too with Motul, and wrap insulation around the clutch line down by the exhaust. A good set of tires too. #1 RE11's, #2 PSS's. Do the mods as you pick up speed.

And read my journal.

i'm actually just NW of the city about 12 miles out.

RT tuning and vince does great work from what I've heard and read .it's out by Philly.

I got my tune done at AAM in Maryland. also does great work.

if you're ever out and about and hear just a unreal super loud awesome blue Z......it's me

I think I'll buy this one. Just contacted the seller. I wanted a gray with Stillen kit, and he already has supercharger installed. and in my budget.

not a bad price for what you get with it. not a big fan of the bumper but the boost was installed and tuned at R/T so that's a plus.

car itself without the goodies is worth around 22-24. 25.5K tops and that's high retail.

so 30k and you get a little boost with it isn't a bad deal.

I'm an IT consultant, and drive around 30k miles a year for work all around the region. I need a big & comfy, reliable vehicle that is good in the snow. It's my "practical" car. I'm quite happy with it. It's no fun to drive, but it's super reliable, and very comfortable to drive. It gets the job done nicely.
I lug my golf bag around on all of my trips, too while it's warm out, so I needed the extra space to put my golf bag, as well as the suitcases. I looked at cars like Acura TL SH-AWD, Merc C300, BMW3, but just didn't have enough room for me. I wanted an Infiniti FX or an Acura MDX, but couldn't pass on this 3 years old loaded Venza with 24k miles for $25k.
But I need a REAL car, and that's why a Z :-)

I think someone has BC coils on here for sale super cheap. it was just an open box kinda deal based on not being the right ones for a AWD G.
