2023 Z Performance 6MT Blue/Graphite
View attachment 32962 Here is me awkwardly standing next to my Z at the first snowfall of the season. Perfect timing.
This is my first brand new car. Never thought i’d own one but after a successful divorce, i said why not. I was impressed with the car when i saw the mechanic’s review of the Z. It felt like Nissan really put an effort into this car despite getting close to Chapter 11 lol

edit: no, i’m not driving it in winter. Gonna store it next week
Congratulations! And always remember: Blue is best.

Hello everyone! My name is Frank. I picked Mariko about a month ago. Flew to Chicago to get her, then drove 1,100 miles back home to Texas.1st Time Z owner, and I genuinely enjoy driving this car. Got the AWE touring exhaust, Michelin PS4, ceramic-coated, and, of course, Tinted.

That's the way to do it, road trip for break-in miles and scenery! Huge Congrats to you and the upgrades too!

Hey fellow Solid Red, great choice and Congrats! Just be more aware, I've gotten pulled over twice already, just warnings since barely over the limit, one local PD even gave a thumbs up on my Red! It IS more highly visible out there, but loving it :like:

Thanks! Our local LEO around here is pretty lenient, hopefully I don't get to meet any of them in person but I definitely try and keep an eye out.

Great looking car, I think I need some of those upgrades myself. Only tint and PPF so far on mine.

I believe I am the first Z34 to have Stanceparts Air Cup suspension on all 4 corners, on top of Aragosta coilovers and SPL Parts suspension arms. Others have them in front only. I detailed the process but the pictures may be lost. I'm trying to find copies somewere on my phone, so I can share them for RZ34 owners.

2025 Nissan Z Performance, 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4
I picked up a performance in the Red/Black combo with a manual and 8 miles on the odo. The car is just what I needed/wanted. My other car is a red Taco that I call Ruby. Calling this fast beast “The Red Zed”.

Post new year, did a couple days to Myrtle Beach and had a fun drive there and back. Tried it keep it below 4k rpms for the break in. But you know, “Just this once”…. Amazingly quiet and smooth above 80 on the highway. So much fun at a green light.

Funny, the dealer didn’t put on the front under lip spoiler, so I have to get a rivet gun and put that on. I plan to replace the plastic oil pan with and aluminum one, and may as well replace the plastic shroud with an aluminum one as well. STILLEN sway bars should be an easy install too.

Dealer didn't put the lip or wind deflectors on my car, and I left them off. Don't want to rivet into my bumper.

I did the CZP oil pan and under shroud. Worth it.

Congrats, love the red. I picked up a 26 Heritage December 13th. The dealer I picked mine from forgot to install those parts also, including the tow hitch cover.
