G noob from Memphis

Goodafternoon fellas!

Ive been lurking around the forum for a few weeks now and i like it alot. I also lurk around my350z and Zilvia. I just recently purchased my G to make room for a new family addition (hoping for a Boy!). I sold my Z to gain a backseat. It was lemans sunset (burnt orange) with a CF top secret style hood. Slammed and Stanced on 19" Vossen vvs-082's. With custom straight through exhaust, that sounded f**ing sick! It was my daily, and also attended several local drift events.

I plan on doing some light mods to the G. Nothing like i did to the Z. We'll see what the future holds.

-Nick M.

(local memphis drift scene ~~> tractionoptional.com)

Car list:
91 s13, coupe, sil-front, KA - sold
95 s14, KA - sold
93 s13 hatch, SR - sold
05 zx6r - wrecked/sold
03 z - sold
04 g - current

i really like it. but, i really do miss my z. i miss all the looks and comments it got, and all the free photo coverage it got, haha. the g is a little bit bigger than my z was, but i seem to fit so much better in the z. (im 6'4"). my head hits the sunroof trim sometimes and it hurts like hell on this g. Im ready for it not to be bone stock. I need some tint in the worst way, i need to put my DIN in this one, but the dash kit is over $250 for a decent one. But the biggest reason is i need a backseat for the little one thats on the way. So itll all come in time. I know there will probably be some hate but, i really want to do the 350gt rebadge to it, i think it looks really cool.

Yea for sure trying to get some pep together for a meet here soon. I am going to import alliance here soon in Atlanta. There is also a drift/show at motorsports park in march sometime. My friend works at wolf chase Honda he is the parts manager. He used to have a nice 350z but sold it and got a m3. And also have a friend that owns total function and we do all my work there he has two lifts and a nice garage. Getting some work vsxx in a few weeks can't wait. Anyways see u around sometime man.

Hey fellas, I live in Nashville.... right down the street I've been trying to find a club or group around here. Being in Memphis I was hoping you would have some information on the Nashville scene.... I've just started customizing my G35 sedan and would like to get involved with a group to get more experience and all.

Welcome to DRIVER & CONGRATULATIONS!

I upgraded from my Z to a G coupe too which also grew a ton of attention. With a few mods and winning a trophy at my first event I've never looked back....much! Your new coupe has lot of potential, looks good. Hope you get a boy, but little girls are very special too for Dads.
Gary
