The wheels are 18" Brendon. Those are the biggest stock wheels for the Z. The '05 and older models came with 17"s.

The 370Z though comes with 18" on the base model and 19" on the sport / touring sport package. They look absolutely amazing.

I love any Nissan Z (240Z, 280Z, 300ZX Fairlady Z Version S/350Z) but an NSX-R or even an NSX is way (I mean wayyyyyy better) better Niko.

How much do NSX's cost in Florida? I was looking up ones in Canada and they were 50-60k and Kelley Blue Book said they should be around 30k.

That's an usual problem with used cars. What they should cost and what they actually cost never matches (and it's usually more expensive...).

I haven't really searched. If I were to buy one it would be an 02+ model with the regular (non pop-up) headlights, and they're probably way out of my reach.

I bought the gray Z today, BUT I'll get it tomorrow, it comes from Orlando and I should be picking it up tomorrow afternoon... However, if I find anything wrong with the car I won't take it and they'll give me my deposit back. So I won't really say that it's mine until I'm actually driving it home. There's a bunch of photos on their site and everything looks perfect, but if after test-driving it I'm not satisfied I won't take it.

Well even if it's not technically yours yet, congrats anyway.

Great purchase.

hell even 260 horses is enough to get you in trouble! strong engine, amazing sound. pulls like hell. begs for more. mines good for 130mph! i wish i had that 300 horse revup. they're so nice. sound better rev faster and higher with more kick! any direction you go, you get a damn good car!

cmc, just lettin ya know, i had to do some fixing to mine today. the aero plate that has to be removed for oil changes, the clips that the bolts screw into started to rip causing the front of the plate not to hold on the front of the bumper. i saw it hanging a little low so i drilled some holes and cable tied it up! good quick fix!

Nice hopefully it goes well Niko - you gotta write a review and post tons of pics outside and in if you buy it. As for NSXs, I gotta say, I really dig the first gen look a lot more and thought it was more iconic. Flip up headlights rock.

Do it. Do they do trackdays at Sebring? Yes they do.

**Niko_Fx** · 02-02-2009, 03:11 AM

Thanks a lot guys! Cross your fingers, I'm picking it up after work!

What colour NSX is ideal Niko?

Blue, black, or a white NSX-R clone (black roof, black NSX-R spoiler, white rims, etc)

Perfection

Niko, if you take your car out to a track, get brakes first. the stock brakes are not up to it. at least pads and fluid, but discs and calipers are a good thing to upgrade as well.

i would say talk to these guys: PalmBeachPerformance.Com

a local specialist is good to have, and these guys seem pretty legit.

also found this group SFZCC... check them out. probably some good local info. and of course my350z.com.
