Car's back up at Happy Japs to have them fix the inevitable exhaust leak. Pics are still to come!

JEEZ you guys!

Here ya go: Apparently I got the car before the paint guy was finished... I guess that's what happens when you come home sooner than people expect. He's going to repaint the hood, bumpers, and left rear quarter because he's "not happy with how they turned out."





Please ignore the glovebox, I was installing a new speaker.


The wheels that need help... The "beauty" ring is supposed to actually be a beauty ring.


Happy now?

Is that the original color?

Not digging the color, but major props all the same

New paint, but that's the original color. Even got the new stuff from Nissan.

You really have to see it in person. The crappy point-and-shoot overexposed the photos a bit, your nay-saying is going to make me get out one of my big Nikons.

Sweet, I used to shoot Canon myself, so I understand the reluctance to pull your gear out. I'm not a big fan of brown, but perhaps it looks better in real life.

BTW, I just ordered a porter Cable 7427XP, you're welcome to use it if you can't find a detailer; I've also got a friend in Wilmington who can work magic, though getting him up here has been impossible so far (thus me purchasing my own polisher).

Wanted to update this thread. I'm out of the military, out of the army, and back in Fayettenam. I've decided that I can't live without an S2k any longer, and this Z will probably fund the purchase.

Just curious if anyone is interested in purchasing or trading. Also, it's good to be home!

Nice! I love that color, but wish it was a manual... I had a silver 5 speed, loved that car and the talking girl... Bulletproof engine, sheet metal, not so much.

Yeah, the sheet metal isn't the toughest. If it would have been outside during that recent hailstorm, it would've ended up looking like a stepped-on coke can. As for the auto, I wouldn't have it any other way. I never lose boost, and it's more comfy. My stupid G60 Cabriolet is my six-puck clutch fun car atm.

Anywhere in Fayettenam/Raleigh that does custom exhausts? I'm feeling the need to jump up to a 3-3.5".
