So i have been a member here for a few years but never really posted. I mostly post on 300zxclub.com but i figured i should start posting here to meet up with some local car enthusiasts. Here are some pics of the ride. Comments/criticism welcome!

I bought my Z december 2006 bone stock from Tennessee. Here it is bone stock.

I didnt know a SINGLE thing about cars then and had no idea what i was getting into. If anyone didnt know, the 300zx is a fucking MONEY PIT. So in the beginning i got raped with labor charges on maintenance until i started learning.

Did my first transmission pull with a friend in the SPSU parking lot

then the turbos started blowing some smoke and in december 2008 i pulled the engine with the help of some good friends

Now i pretty much know how to do ANYTHING on a 300zx. It forced me to learn how to work on cars because of the ridiculous labor costs but im kinda glad it did.

I began autocrossing the Z this past summer and here is a vid of me at turner field

Very nice.. any suspension work done?

[Turbodude06]

Nice, do u have to pull the motor in those cars to get to the turbo's???? That seems like a pain just to put new turbo's on, but very nice Z man......

[ilbcnu123]

The only suspension work i have now is subframe and differential bushings (pain in the ASS to install), tein tension rods, and HICAS removal bar.

Yes you have to pull the engine to remove the turbos.

Love the car. Its nice to see a modded 300zx, I don't see them as much as I would like. +2

[ilbcnu123]

true. they are getting more and more rare. I try to mod performance but keep the exterior looking stock.

[swimshark]

T Tops off in the freezing ass snow weather. Sunroof open and windows down on the J30! lol
