Just wanted to say goodbye org members. Haven't posted that much because I read way more than I posted but I have enjoyed it. Check out what I bought this weekend a 2003 Chrome Silver 6Speed Track edition 350Z

More pictures at the bottom of the registry.
I traded the 02 Altima 3.5SE in on it and I will selling the max, hopefully soon (btw, I can't resist the plug, guys please buy my car and my stuff). Thanks again all for all the great information, this is a great site.

 

u lucky son ofa...
haha, real nice dude, good luck with it, have fun going real fast! dont ever forget the maxi though!

 

wow thats a big jump man, enjoy

 

thats just not fair. that is bad azz! i think a Z will be my next car. how do you like it compared to the max? is it a difference between day and night?

 

2 years from now I hope to be in the same position. Good luck man

 

Congrats, I used to own a 300ZX, but I went maxima, so you can take my spot on the Z forums

Check out www.350zforum.com its a great resource

 

Sweet ride......I know you'll enjoy your new ride..

 

Hey man... you dont have to leave... you can stick around... I know im going to, even though I got my new ride... chill in the off topic section, or help some noobs out

 

At least your leaving for another NISSAN

Good luck and have fun :P

 

climaxing: i hate you.






j/k man congrats have fun!

 

Nice Z.
Good luck with the modding of that car.

 

Thanks guys, I love the car, if you only knew how much of a Z fan I am. I have already stumbled upon my350Z.com, great site. As for the ride comparison, the power is night and day but the maxima is smoother and quiter. With those 18's and a 45 profile you definetly feel the road more. I think the most unbelievable thing about the car and how well it will hang a curve, the steering is so tight it is awesome. As for Nissan's, I love them, great cars. If it hadn't been for the track edition, I probably would have bought a G35 Sport Coupe but I couldn't pass on those Brembo Brakes and the 225/45/18 Front and 245/45/18 Rear Rayes Forged wheels, they make the Z stand out from the rest (except the other Track's but you don't see many of those). Literally almost everyday someone stops me and talks about the car, I love cars (especially the Fairlady Z) so I don't mind it, I could look at it all day and talk about it all day.
As for the mods, the serious stereo upgrade and I ain't messing around this time. I have always done it myself but I am having it done professionaly this time. The install I want to do is a little out of my league, I can't wait to get started but I have to sell my other stuff and my car first.
I won't forget about the max, great car. I am trying to talk the wife into upgrading her 97 accord to a 5th gen max (too bad she has to have an automatic though), they have came way down in price. Around here you can pic up a 2000-2001 SE for $11,000 - $13,000

 

Those rims aren't factory, are they?

Also, do you mind me asking how much?

 

Those look like the factory rims on a track model. 350's around here seem to sell for about $1700 below list, which make them pretty attractive, the Nissan bang for buck--nearly impossible to compare to a 3-Series or A4 which sell for nearly list and more $$$, but have the tight handling and steering. I'm not that serious yet but I've been looking for 6-spd Tourings when near the dealerships, and they all seem to be 5-spd autos. The plus of the 6-spd touring is the Bose, 18's same size but not the forged rims, heated seats and mirrors, and leather, which the track doesn't have avail. For me the Brembos would be add'l expense, I believe those calipers cost about $800-$900 each! You're not gonna be monkeying around with a c-clamp on those.

If only money were no object, but it is, so the Z is a pretty good compromise.

 

Yes those rims are the factory rims for the Track model. Bose is standard on the Touring regaurdless if it is auto or MT but you do have to get the MT to get the 18's. I think I read somewhere that the rims and brakes alone is over a $5,000 option on the Track. Considering I got my track with only a few thousand miles for the same price a brand new enthusiast model, I was very happy. The wheels were huge for me because I knew I wouldn't have the money to upgrade anytime soon and I really like them, I don't see the need to replace them, I love the way they look.
Also, I don't mind, I got mine for $29,900 considering new they are $35,000 with all their destination fees.

 

Great news guys, I sold the Maxima tonight. D@mn that was quick, only been in the autotrader for a few days. Thanks again guys for all the advice and please buy the rest of my stuff
