Newbie here... Hello all !!!
Been trolling the forum for about a week now... Just picked up an 03 Sedan last night. Love the car. Brakes are a little touchy... guess it's just a little getting use to. Already purchased clear corners (on their way) and LEDS bulbs for stock bulbs inside & out (on their way). Tuesday the car will be in the shop getting the windows tinted (20% rear and 35% front including windshield). Purchasing within a week:
03 - 06 ? Coupe mid-pipe
05 ? 350z springs (which are the revised)
05 taillights w/ reverse lights
5/16 ISO Thermal Plenum Spacer
JWT pop charger
z tube
Clear corners with Bat overlays
JDM Right Side battery cover
New floor mats
Just checking with everyone that those are the right year for those products??
Just looking to give the car a better stance right now with the 1" lowering. Tires are BRAND new, so until the treads gets worn, no 19's or 20's for me (will be staggered). That's really all I have planned for now. Don't need it much faster, have a GSXR 1000 for that.
My father is a mechanic so he can get cost plus 10% on all the factory stuff from the dealer, but have to wait till Monday to find out what that is... Unless someone here already knows.
My headlights are yellowed pretty bad, but since I have the regular headlights I was going to just get the black ones off eBay. Front bumper has a couple paint chips, not too noticeable, but I am looking to either get it repainted or new bumper... Nismo or something... Figure if thats getting painted I will be painting the lower plastics around the car to match as well. Other than that the car was in good condition. Paid $14k cash for it and have about $2500 left to spend in mods. Figure with what I have listed above I will be right around there.
Oh, and I'm Nathan 27. Married back in May, found out Sunday she's pregnant (planned
) Live in Jax FL.And I know
so....

Thanks everyone. This site is great and found TONS of helpful information. Found the "How to polish your headlights" DIY yesterday and plan on doing the headlights today.
nice!
THats an awesome price u got it for, whats the mileage?
I just picked up an 04 fully loaded with nismo 44k miles for $18.9k
I think alot of those electronic mods ur doing are kinda useless waste of money.
As for performance, its an auto so no need to really go crazy.
I would try and find some NISMO/Aero body kit and put that on. Make ur car look 1000x better.
You can get them painted/shipped for $2k for everything i believe (front bumper, sides, and rear valence)
jon!

Always been into car stereo, always will be. Use to have 12 (yes twelve) 10's in my old civic, and my last vehicle was a Tahoe and it went from 6 JL 12's to a couple JL 13's, bunch of tv's etc. Just what I'm in to.
