Smile Hello to my New Family!

Hello all,

Just bought a 01 UL w/ 87k miles over the weekend as a daily driver. I got tired of driving my dumped 350z with no A/C everywhere.





And my Z I was talking about:



Drove it down from Dallas today and it was a dream! I feel like I've barely found all the buttons and gadgets so far.

Thanks Biggz! It's almost done, just need cage, clutch, racing seats and I'll be done with the Z project.

http://www.youzealand.net is the manufacturers website. You can get the standard kit or the Pro kit. The Pro kit includes a ball joint to correct a slight caster issue when slamming your car.

A few vendors on here may be able to get the kit for you.

Nice Z!! The nicest one I've ever seen...those orange/black wheels are so sick.... Specs?

Nice 430 as well. I know what you mean, I recently came from a BMW E90 328i 6MT (I couldn't run A/C and shift smoothly, was a weird design flaw that everyone complained about + a notchy shifter and inconsistent clutch feel) and couldn't be happier with this car! Enjoy, and welcome
