My friend Tri and I flew to MD to pick up this car and we drove it back. I love it. It's fully loaded and has Brembo brakes, Rays 18" and 19" wheels, nav, 300hp, 6-speed, etc. I can't wait for spring!

Tickets were cheap $114 including taxes and fees. The 350's around here weren't what I was looking for.

Does anyone on here work at a Nissan dealer or know someone who does? I am looking for a deal on OEM parts if I ever need some.

You should leave it stock.

Unless you've been doing Nissan's for a long time.

They are great cars stock and don't deserve to have Autozone BS parts added.

I might do a few things. I don't put Autozone parts on my cars, haha.

I've been looking at exhausts. The new Magnaflow 3" dual is pretty nice and it sounds quiet enough that if I did put test pipes on it might not be too loud. All the videos I have seen so far with Cat deletes they all were raspy and nasty sounding and I don't want that.

Here is the new 3"

^that looks bad ass.... its so tempting to get rid of the TA for a Z it would be loads more fun to drive and not as much a straight line car...ive been thinking about it for a long time but when i went to go look at them they were 30-35k new....

That Amuse exhaust looks way better with Tail A.

Flicktitty
01-14-2009, 12:52 PM
Agree'd

The Amuse R1 Titanium Muffler is of the highest quality available on the market. After taking just one look, you can tell that Amuse pays attention the smallest details with this exhaust system. The most notable advantage of this muffler is the lightweight titanium body which weighs in at only 8.7kg (19 lbs) compared to the stock muffler which was 22.3kg (49lbs)!! This is a huge difference which can definitely be felt. Not only is this muffler system extremely light but it is also very beautiful and has a great sound to it. Amuse uses their special technique to give the blue gradation on various parts of the tip. As shown in the pictures, there is a silencer placed in the main pipe.

The dimensions of the Amuse R1 Titanium Muffler go from a 76.3mm main pipe, next to twin 50mm pipes, and finally exits from the twin 115mm tails.

Our Price : USD 3453.38 Shipped to United States

Cool Car William, great choice on the options. I think the car looks real nice as is. I had one of these as a rental last month in AZ and I was really surprised how nice it handles, and it has a decent amount of pep, too. Just dont rice it out :goof

Enjoy the new ride! Are you driving it in winter too?

WilliamZ
01-16-2009, 06:45 PM
Thanks Gino. It is a fun car to drive. I'll try to stay away from putting APC parts on the Z. It's sooo tempting though! Quantity>Quality right? :goof

I couldn't even get the car in my garage without scraping all the snow down to the concrete, so I try to keep it away from the white stuff :)

I did take it to work today since the roads were dry. It's not any fun because being soo cold even in 3rd gear the rear wants to swing out on acceleration. Counting the days until Spring!
