About this Current Vehicle:

2003 LeMans Sunset Nissan 350Z Track Edition.

I bought it used with only 9800 miles on it January, 2006. It came with NISMO (Nissan Motorsport) cold air intake and cat-back exhaust. I bought it for the track (road course) to run in non-competition Driver's Ed. events. I run mostly at Watkins Glen, NY and Summit Point, WV (sometimes Pocono).

I just had the car corner balanced and my Z weighs 3255 wet with driver! Grin

ChargeSpeed CF Roof Fin

I finally got my ChargeSpeed carbon fiber roof fin and got it installed today. I didn't get a chance to weigh it, which I am really bummed about, but it felt very light (I'd be surprised if it weighed more than a pound) and fitment is excellent -- looks like it came from Nissan that way! Pix are in my Z's garage. Smile

NISMO 4.083 Final Drive Gears

I got NISMO 4.083 Final Drive gears installed. I can't wait for some nice weather to come so I can see how they feel on the back roads. The car will stay naturally aspirated, so the gears should do nicely to get me more pull out of the corners. Smile

Thanks for commenting on my Z. You also have a pretty nice Z. I was going to buy that color but couldn't find one in my price range/area. I'd def get the 06 LED taillights. BEST $350 ever spent. The new 370Z is right around the corner. Don't forg

Thanks! TEIN FLEX coilovers are great for my application (some street, a lot of track) and EDFC is a MUST! I'm not sure about a G35, but there is no way without drilling holes in the rear of the 350Z to manually adjust the rears, so IMO, EDFC is a must
