whats up guys. so i got an evo x which im dying to trade for a 370z. ive never had a nissan and have always been an awd turbo guy. but i just cant stand paying so much for a car that feels so god damn cheap. any tips or things i should know about the 370, whether its buying wise or what to expect for 332hp in rwd?

i might run out to tony nissan later today to sit inside one and see if i fall in love (which i expect to happen). and i got an appointment to go down to new city on monday. anybody got the hookup on killer deals. any info would help out. looking forward to having quality inside a car for the first time in a long time.

oh btw, im looking to get a base model + sport package.

You got the right idea. Check out the car at Tony, (DO NOT BUY THERE. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF) and go to New City Nissan off King Street. Ask for sales associate Antonio. Tell him, "Will" sent you. If he cant remember off the top of his head tell him he's the Haole that bought a silver 370Z in July.

As for info and tips on the 370, I can only refer you to the entire 370Z community. You probably already noticed there is a great deal of useful information on here. There are tons of mods already, and there is so much more to come.

Good luck!

thanks for the info man. i ended up going to tony and saw they only had automatics left besides the fully loaded white one in the showroom. not 1 salesman asked me anything even though i had been there for over 20 mintues, but oh well i didnt wanna be helped with those cars anyway.

i got so bored i ended up calling the guy i had been talking to already at new city, Sky Kitaoka. he was a cool *** helpful guy and they were ready to move some cars. the only thing they had with what i wanted (base + sport pkg) was the Nismo. its a little aggressive for my taste but i wouldnt have said no if it woulda worked out for me. so their sales manager (i guess) said they will do everything they can to get rid of that car but i have negative equity on my gay *** evo x and dont have any money to put down since i was just looking to see what kinda year end deals i could find. i fkn hate mitsubishi btw. but oh well im just gonna clean up my credit some more and dump double payments on my evo or something and come back next year. i should be divorced by then and be bringing in more money anyway so it should work out better.

i wouldnt mind picking up a used 370 in a few months if i can find one, i dont really wanna buy new anymore. anybody wanna trade? :tup: haha.

and oh yeah i sat inside a few of the 370s they had on the lot at new city and instantly fell in love, so thats what a quality interior feels and looks like huh?

if u guys know anybody looking for an evo x let me know, i will sell this thing in a heartbeat.

edit: king windward nissan should be calling me soon cuz they got a new shipment coming in in about a week and a half, we'll see how it goes.

Ah feels good to be back in Hawaii. Time to drive this outstanding car!

lucky!

so i got my car detailed the other day they couldnt get rid of the bird poop marking they said it ate threw the paint already. they said my only option now is either deal with it or get a new paint job. mayn wat the hell are these birds eating acid? im alittle bummed now but it just gives me an excuse to get a new custom paint job lol. anyone recommend any places on the island?

Where did you go to get your car detailed??

I have taken my Z to Shea's and the auto craft shop at Schofield.

On Schofield the guy there does a great job on the exterior for $150. I believe it is called the gold package. Interior is just basic clean up.

Shea's detail on the interior is fantastic! The exterior is good but in his defense the only cars he has done the ultimate luxury detail on were my Camry and Civic. Both were worn with blemishes on the exterior. I have had the Z go thru his special wash and it wasn't bad. Maybe next week, I'll get the luxury package.

I wouldn't go to detailers next to the Millilani Cheveron. They left my Camry seats wet and the exterior just looked like crap. Nothing like driving home with a wet bottom.

I'd love to hear anyone else's experience.

Yeah me too. I havent had my car detailed yet. I wash and wax it myself.

Im sure a detail would really make it shine

merry christmas everyone. so last week went to the autoshop near the nex and change my oil and i finally figured out how to stop the rattling from the exhaust hitting the cross member just add some heat shield in between and now its so much quieter when hitting those speed bumps or lil dips in the road. those heat shield run from 30 to 82 at checkers but i got mine for free in that metal recycling bin they have at the autoport.

wats everyone doing for new yrs eve?

hey im thinking about buying some rims for my car but i have no idea wat to do with the stock rims. are there ppl that actually buy stock rims? how much are the stock ones worth with tires?

Mayn bad night today. Went to see avatar at the IMAX theater at 1035 pm showing and after it went home. On the way home I got pulled over and got arrested for speeding. I was trying to pick up speed to get on freeway cop said I was still on regular road. And speed limit is 35 he says he got me at 66. That road that becomes a freeway sucks it's like a trap cause all ppl think is pick up speed for freeway speed. Now this is gonna be on my record for a long time grrrrr only in Hawaii has this gay rule 30 over is arrestable why can't it be like any other state and just recieved a ticket. This was the most expesive movie ever lol. Thanks to my wife she Paid for my bail money. Now I gotta try and figure out a way to make money to pay for the actual fine. O yea selling my wife's 350z 2006 if anyone interested

Good news guys! We will soon be getting our own sub-forum. Instead of being a thread in the "Western" subforum, we'll be getting our own subforum. It might be called "Pacific", or "Hawaii". I'm not sure yet.

cool and that sucks dude. talk to a ticket lawyer.

I'm assuming the area your referring to is that part of Nimitz highway by sand island leading up to the freeway? Granted, a lot of people do speed up in that area... your speed would still be pretty high in comparison (most people go 40~50). If it is that area, the limit goes from 35 to 55 at the top of the ramp. Given your 66, the best that can happen to you is you go to court and the penalty is mitigated by the judge if you have a clean record. And the arrestable limit is 20 over, or 80+ regardless of speed limit. I'd have to look again, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a fine associated with the 20+ over thing, its an arrestable and/or court citation. Be careful out there. :ugh2:

Ugh, I just remembered, aren't you an MP? Now I feel kinda bad. Sorry man :confused:

Arent you an MP?

That sucks man,...I heard that in LA or CA that they can impound your car and glad that tehy dont do that in HI..

Speeding limits here in Hawaii are ridiculous in certain areas doing 35 for freeway areas where 90% of people never are in that range like Likelike, Pali, H3, etc,...

Id look into getting a Blinder M25 or other,...helps me a lot in my Subaru and saved me 3x thus far...and need to get it for the Z...

Wow man maybe I used up all the lucky breaks for the 370Z owners when I got stopped for doing 120+ on H2 and walked away with a warning.

Had I been arrested my career would have been done as a fellow MP. I know not the brightest move on my part.

Definitely get a lawyer. A fellow officer got popped for doing 100+ on the Millilani off ramp. Six months later his lawyer was able to reduce the charge.

PM sent on my other recommendation.
