So ive had my car for a while, and anyone close will know all the things ive been through. I love this car and its been an amazing ride so far!
2004 Nissan 350z "enthusiast" with 104k on the clock when i purchased it.

Here is a pic from when i first got the car. *note* car hasn't changed exterior wise.




A few months after owning the car i got a Double Din installed into the dash to replace the broken OEM radio!


Within the last few months this car has put me through hell.


First i got into a slow fenderbender requiring me to get a new hood and bumper and repainted the fenders.



Not two weeks later a rod bearing connector broke and after 120k on the clock the VQ was toast.



BUT things are ok because i purchased the extended warranty from the dealer i purchased the car from and all i have to pay is a 100 dollar deductible. plus the price of a new flywheel (needed that anyways so i went with a 14lbs flywheel from JWT compared to the 27lbc the stock one weighed.


Just a waiting game till i get the Z back now

Future plans are to buy lightweight pulleys and a set of stock cats to gut and place on the car. Also a set of RPF1's to stay light
