2005 Nissan 450z

2005 Nissan Pikes Peak White 350z, base model. I consider this my first “real” car, having only had a 260whp 1991 240SX and a 2003 Ford Focus before. It’s my daily driver, obsession, and soon-to-be track car. My plans for it are as follows: Suspension, Stiffen chassis, lighten, then power. Come on, power is no fun unless it can also shoot your brain out of your ears in the corners! Some of the current mods were done by the previous owner of the car (I’ve owned the car about 2 months now), such as the wheels and the lowering springs. -Invidia G200 Exhaust -Custom power-steering cooler for those hot Texas days -Hotchkis 19mm lowering springs -Rota P45 -Centric cross-dimpled and slotted rotors with black hubs -Techna-fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines ENGINE BLEW AT A DRIFT EVENT, SEE UPDATE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON MY VH45DE V8 SWAP!
