Enjoy it!
For the most part they are all good cars. If you have specific questions about making changes or any issues you may be having, we can go into specifics for them but in general kick back and enjoy the ride, its awesome!
The only thing you might want to consider is some sort of bra for the front to prevent it from getting chipped up. Some use clear bra's others the black ones but if you don't the front will, over time, looks like a speckled mess if you do any volume of driving.

Where are you located? is the weather about to turn frigid? I don't know since I have a coupe, but maybe some roadsters can chime in on winter prep if there is any. Welcome to the site! Can I ask you for a favor? I Need about $3.50?  ::I loved that old Southpark episode::

I bought a new unsold Red Z this past June and got a heck of a deal on it. It has brought a new meaning to the word "drive" to me. Absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Welcome to the site, and congrats on your purchase. Make sure you keep up on the oil changes is my only advice.

First off - What color is your new addition? Beyond that - Let the Mods begin!!
My first was the JWT Pop charger... For minimal cost you'll love the sound! See it at: JWT Pop Charger Air Intake for Nissan 350z Recommend you contact kyle@importpartspro.com before you order - I believe there may still be a discount (covered the shipping cost for me) for users of this site (another good reason for being active here) Kyle will email you the code if the discount is still in effect - Just mention this site!
Welcome! Good luck, & drive safe!

I've listened with interest (to news reports) that the incoming administration (having declared the names of nearly all of his 47 cabinet appointments) that some 31 of those chosen to date are Clinton-ites... One wonders if those voting for change feel as though they will get the change they sought?
Things never change - not really... Only the players... in the end EVERYTHING remains the same...

The only man I saw that had the balls for real change was never really given the chance. People are consider him radical. Hence the first quote in my sig, as this is how I feel about REAL change, the type Ron Paul would have brought. 
Ok sorry. Back on topic. Which was advice?
Don't eat yellow snow.
