Just bought a new 350 :)

WATSON1 · Mar 12th, 2006, 11:32 AM

Well, I just traded in my Altima and bought a 2006 350Z. Don't have it in the garage yet, as the dealer didn't have the one I wanted on the lot. I should be getting it either Saturday evening or sometime Sunday afternoon. They're having to do a dealer trade with another dealer in Dallas, Texas to get it. I live in Macon, GA. It's a 2006 6MT coupe. The reason they have to get it is because of the color I want. I think it's called Interlagos Fire. It's the one that changes colors when you look at it from differnt angles. I can't wait, impatient as hell!! Soon as I get some pics I'll hit up the Member Rides again. Out of curiosity, who makes the best exhaust for it. Will be going with the Nismo CAI, and when I save some money back up, a $tillen supercharger kit, that way I can show chimmike what a real fast car is

bahaha. Stillen s/c = weakness

congrats on the car man.

btw.....i ran a stillen stage 3 from 80......well, if you want, I can give you his email address and you can ask him what the result was

awesome choice on colors.....but if you're gonna do a body kit, find a GOOD paint shop!

You shouldn't have had to drive to Texas cause we have two up here in Knoxville, a GT and a GT vert. And don't go with the Stillen SC go with the ATI, its got a great response with power and you can intercool it better. The Stillen one can only be liquid cooled and that is very limiting.

Thanks for the info. I didn't go to Texas, my dealer did. I didn't want a conv. or a touring, I was set on the Enthusiast, as well as the color. I plan on a body kit somewhere down the road, just not sure when I'll get the cash...

I don't have the splach guards, so that's not mine. I've got a few pics posted on another site, but none to show off the color. You can only notice the color change in the sunlight, and it's still raining like hell where I live.

avoid the ATI procharger, it is commonly known as the kit that pops engines.

Stillen is the most reliable FI available, and therefore it makes the least power.

Vortech has problems of its own but generally won't pop your motor.

the ATI procharger has a horrible record of blowing VQs.

beides.....why not go turbo?

I really haven't put that much thought into a turbo. I think I will though, if it will be safer for my engine. What kinda of power difs will I see with turbo vs. supercharger? I really don't know much about them...

People pop them cause they put the higher pulley on there and the stock internals will not hold.

PIX don't do it justice, one pic might make it look purple the next might make it look brownish. Come to the Z Nationals outside ATL on the first weekend in April and I bet there'll be on there.

90% of the popped motors from ATI's are on the stock pulley.

I'm a big sissy and cannot handle a real car like the 350z.

WATSON1 · Mar 24th, 2006, 12:47 PM

[quote=350zsuck] 350z Suck ASS, they are a crap car that the Japs call a sports car, Anyone who owns one is a fag, and should drive their car off a cliff, or large hill. My Jeep V8 has a reputation for destroying 350z at the dragstrip. GET A REAL CAR, BUY AMERICAN!!! --- SISSIES[quote]

Yeah, and you drive a Chrysler, funny how a jap car with a smaller engine will last longer, put out more hp and torque, give you less problems, and look better resulting in getting a lot more pussy than you. Who's the fag now?

And why don't you take that shit to OT? All your gonna do is get yourself teh ban, maybe that's a good thing...
