Sold my zenki and picked up this beauty (56k maybe if you're lucky)

[brandonlgilbert]

So after 5 years of enjoyment, I sold my zenki to another 240 enthusiast. I had thoughts of getting a truck or something more "practical", but that momentary lapse of reasoning soon subsided and I found this beauty and fell in love. Here's some pics of my recently sold zenki and my new to me 2007 350Z nismo edition. I hope to take some better pics today.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forum, and I'll still be in from time to time because we all know that the 240 guys are the coolest right?

Anyway, take care guys. On to the pics!

its called a s14 with a vq swap

[nissans13240sx]

I have a feeling the s14 with sr was faster then the z... But the 350z nismo edition is a really nice car, ive had the oppertunity to work on/drive a couple of them at work.

Depends on what was done to the SR. But more than likely, the Z is faster.

But where ya going? Don't we have a place for Z owners as well?

Yeah, we do. I'm in there bugging them all the time about wheel fitment, whats hot and what not & chit... lol

[elchoccolatte]

Schweet!

[NISSAN240SX12]

im lovin that Z! That is my next ride!

[adrianfromthecastle]

nice!

[EnjoiNismo]

Nismo Z, NICE!Now thats an UPGRADE!

[brandonlgilbert]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I've really enjoyed the 240 over the years, doing the SR swap and tinkering with it, but I do have to say it was a considerable upgrade stepping up to the Z. The car is 11 years newer for one thing, so that helps when it comes to interior condition and overall fit and finish. As far as power goes, the Z seems to be a good bit more powerful than the 240. The SR was still on stock turbo and stock boost level, but it did have the Greddy FMIC and 3" downpipe, test pipe, and cat-back.

I snapped a few pics late yesterday afternoon with some friends of mine, and I'll try to get those up soon.

Very nice upgrade! Now is the Nismo 350 faster then the track model, I'm guessing yes right?

[HashiriyaS14]

I *love* the Nismo Z33, one of the coolest looking factory special editions ever offered stateside, IMO.

Good pick up.

NICE - that is the kind of upgrade we need to see around here.

NICE - that is the kind of upgrade we need to see around here.

They are beautiful cars and congrats brandonlgilbert. But I certainly love my 240 and what I've done to her. I also like the fact that the 240 is not a car you see everyday (at least around here; and in the shape mine is in). It is for that reason I will never get rid of her; did it once - lucky to get her back. But the 350Z is gorgeous and I wish you tons of fun!

[Hemifan]

Awesome upgrade! Now its time to boost the Z

[brandonlgilbert]

Here's a few pics I snapped in a hurry late yesterday afternoon. I plan on getting some much much better solo pics when I have a chance.

These are my long time friends' cars, and we all have a great time hanging out and "talking shop". We grilled some burgers this past weekend and decided to line 'em up for a pic or two.

Nice! and just curious what eyelids were on ur zenki?

[brandonlgilbert]

They were painted on by the previous owner. I wanted the German glass lenses but never could let go of $450+ for headlights.

Nice upgrade! should definately bring it to the z fest in branson this june!
