battelready Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The 350z interior has not aged well. I hate the 350z steering wheel. It looks like the same one in every nissan that generation. I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. My high mileage turd.

magnusonsubie Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looks awesome bro . I'm looking into possibly acquiring one within' the next couple months . Any pros and cons on this vehicle and how long did it take you to fully build everything ? Any suggestions is much appreciated . Thanks! Pros and cons are all around this forum but I haven't really had any issues with mine. I wouldn't say that my build is complete at all. The ideas haven't stopped flowing. So far I've owned the car a year and 10 months. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaQuan15 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks! Pros and cons are all around this forum but I haven't really had any issues with mine. I wouldn't say that my build is complete at all. The ideas haven't stopped flowing. So far I've owned the car a year and 10 months. Sweet bro that's awesome . I've read up on a lot of other forums but I've also been on Edmonds and read a lot of great reviews . It seems to possibly fit me perfect . Thanks much for advice Edited January 24, 2016 by SBT revised wording to comply with community standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex0856 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm going to be the Downer Debby and forewarn you about maintenance issues with these cars. It can get expensive quickly. Read up on what it takes to own these cars. This is coming from someone who has sank $8000 in repairs in his because he didn't research or pay close attention to the car he bought. But the right cars are out there, you just have to know what to look for to determine that it's been taken care of properly. Regular ideals of car maintenance do not apply to these cars. That being said...once you own it you'll love it. I love mine and once It's got its new engine it will be a reliable mode of transportation.

alex0856 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 If you can find one with a blown motor that is ideal. Then you can pick it up for cheap, build it from the ground up into a reliable car and save much headache later on. A year on January 2nd. I haven't driven it since April 18th. Should be having it back with a new motor on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Put the rack back on and went for a little photoshoot. Realized halfway through that the whitebalance was set for flourscent lights so editing is kinda saving some of my favorite shots from before I fixed the settings. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm sure I'll get use to it but initial impression wise it is much shorter than the stock throw. I hadn't driven my car since before thanksgiving. Finally got it back together (reboot passenger CV boot, reboot whiteline balljoint, replaced all FSB bushings / endlinks). First thought when I shifted was "damn, that's short." My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatentWagen Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Neat FoST. They can be pretty quick with mods. Fun car? I had a stockish one of those pestering me the other day. Buy-bye LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Neat FoST. They can be pretty quick with mods. Fun car? I had a stockish one of those pestering me the other day. Buy-bye [emoji38] They are quick but this one is still stock. My dad is either almost out of warranty on the mileage or just passed it but he's got s few parts sitting around the garage to be put on. He's talked about getting a good set of coilovers for it since last winter a 4x4 fell off a truck and my dad ran over it and jumped the car. Bent 2 wheels beyond repair and he didn't notice at the time but the suspension damping was greatly affected. He talked about taking it out autocrossing this next summer too. We'll see what happens. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Tgv deletes were a good decision. If you can swing it I highly recommend the IAG Billets. They look great and are super quality. Also liking the 8mm phenolic spacer to give a little more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Well you get rid of the valves interfering with airflow. Them suckers are big. Add in the spacers and draw some heat away from the manifold. Makes for a nice little improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
