I originally got into car YouTube back in 2014 watching TJ Hunt and following his journey, when he got the 350z I fell in love right away. Since then I made it a goal to get it one day. In 2018 I joined the Marine Corps and in September of 2019 I got stationed in Camp Pendleton and came to California. It was a dream for me in Cali since I was so close to TJ and obviously how amazing it here. I got my Z on November 1st of that year. The car became my everything, my escape and freedom, my coping mechanism, it was all I needed. I used it as my daily. The car came with coils and a base. I got some used original CR Kais. Since then I’ve done a couple of more interior mods listed below and on April of 2023, I had gotten the new wheels, the rays, and my headlights. The Z was starting to look better and it blew a rod. It was a huge loss. The car has been sitting since then but within the last 2 months, I got the opportunity to get a new engine and order some parts to partly rebuild the engine and make some improvements. All the parts listed under planned upgrade are the parts that already came in and I have. I have ordered other parts like I said before to do the rebuild that already came in as well and as of today, 9/13/24, the engine is completely apart, down to the block and I’m about to start rebuilding it. With everything going well, it should be done within the next 2 months max. I do and have done every single thing to my car myself. Obviously at times I have friends help me as well. This is my dream car, my most proud possession, and it’ll be the car I will keep forever. If you guys read all of this, thank you for taking that time.
