What's up guys

I have been on the forum for awhile and love the site, but I just picked up a Silver/Grey 01 GS430 with 48,000 miles. The car is bone stock, when I picked it up it didn't even have tint on the windows and I live in AZ where it is hot as hell. The GS will not stay stock for long as I have a lot of plans for the car.

I just came from a 350Z that my friends and I built from the ground up.

The car made 550 whp and 508 foot pounds of torque at 12 psi on 91 octane

That's a really nice car you had there. The only thing I don't like is the wing but everything is hot to death. Honestly, unless I was starting a family, I would have never sold the Z for a 2GS, actually I would love to have both. But, Welcome to the Club and happy modding.

thanks guys, I had a lot of fun building the Z but I have wanted to build a 4 door car for a while. I have always loved the look of the 2nd Gen GS and thought that now would be a good time to move on from the Z.


Here is a photo of the G35 that I had before the Z
