Damn .. its been forever since I've driven my Z. I am still waiting for the oil lines to come in. Apparently, they haven't made the new set of lines yet .. but within the next few days should be done and shipped out. Depending upon when I get them and installed I will have to hit you guys up for a quick meet somewhere. Perhaps next week some time??

LOL I wish I had that problem, well not really that problem but I wish I didnt drive so damn much. I put on over 3k miles in last month and a half! Why is it taking so long to get your lines? I would be down to meet whenever everyone else can. I wont have anything but a stock Z until I get the exhaust installed which will be sometime in May if everything goes as planned! Where would be a good meeting point for everyone somehwere in Tampa? Maybe like a winghouse/hooters/bar and grill or something like that get some food and chill out? What do you guys think?

Zigen5 04-06-2010 02:53 PM

Where is everyone located? Winghouse or a park/house for grilling is usually a good place... Talk about driving alot!!!! I just hit 3k on mine and I bought the car in mid February... I love driving my car, just wish the miles wouldn't accumulate..

Just purchased the S-Tune body kit for my car.. Can't wait until I get it.. Here is a pic..

I would like to try and make it!

I'm in St. Petersburg, around the downtown area, I wouldn't mind checking out some other modded Z's, I got mine from Courtesy Nissan.

TipsZ 04-07-2010 09:18 AM

Apparently, I mailed the old oil lines to 46th Street, and it was supposed to go to 6th Street. In addition, the vendor is in the process of creating the new lines, I do not think they had them available when I mailed them back.

Last time we met at International Mall as we had people from both sides of the Bay. But I am down to go anywhere. Winghouse or Hooters would be cool as well.

I've got about 9k miles on the Z so far. But I've had her since May of last year. Obviously, once I get her running again, I will probably driver her daily just to get "reacquainted" with her again. LOL I really intended that she would be a weekend vehicle .. but she is just contagious to drive (as you all know)!!

mrdino77 04-07-2010 11:25 AM

Cool, seems like we just picked up another one lol. You guys are all coming out of the woodwork now haha. Would the weekends work best for you guys? I was thinking it would be cool to grab some lunch or soemthign and then we can do like a 370z cruise around the area or wherever we want to end up. I think that would be awesome having all the Z's running around Tampa area lol. The weather we have been having has been amazing so especially if it is nice out that would be cool. So are we shooting for May or ?

Well, speaking for myself, I would prefer a weekend .. however I am HOPING to receive my new oil lines early next week so that I can install them and be ready for the weekend after next. Are any of you guys going to Z Dayz in May?

ddvette9 04-07-2010 11:18 PM

damn, whe i left there were single digit 370's in Tampa, now it seems like the next meet we have there will be like 12. WOW.

I cant wait to see some old friends when I get back, hopefully you guys wait for me to have another meet.

In the meantime, once a month in Jacksonville we have a meet. It is about 3 hours from Tampa and a pretty nice drive. We always welcome anyone who wants to make the trip to our Hooters meets.

Dalllas, you know once I get the Z up and running, I would not mind making that trip up to J-ville and hang out. As you well know, its all a matter of timing.

That sounds like a fun drive, I would def be down for that always nice to take a little cruise! When are you coming back? I think earlier in the posts you said sometime in May? I wouldnt mind waiting if everyone is cool with that as well.

ddvette9 04-08-2010 09:55 AM

Tampa to our meet In Jacksonville is around 3 hours. It is not a bad drive at all. We start at 11 so it would be smart to leave around 7. Before our meet there is a high end car show next door and then we walk over to hooters for some brief pictures and a nice lunch, maybe a cruise afterwards down to the beaches. Our meet is this Saturday.

Also, I will let you guys know exactly when I am coming home. It would be cool if you guys could wait for me, I am with the original Tampa Z crew from a year ago and would really like to make the next meet.

J-BoneZ 04-08-2010 08:46 PM

Just to let everyone know the third saturday of every month the dupont registry does a car show called cars and coffee at their main building in st. pete. If anyone is interested in meeting up there its definitely a good time. I always go when I can.

Yeah it's a great show, I have been going every month for about a year now. Lots of high end cars. There was a 40th anniv. Z there last month

Damn, I was going to go to and do a baseline and then another after HFC's and Tanabe Y-pipe but the parts didn't get here in time. What time are you all heading out there?

Maybe that was me with the black one. I live here in Largo. We had a meet last year with some folks here in this forum. I am planning to buy the F.I too but I really wanted to hear it in person before I buy. As of now, I'm running without my muffler and had a custom tips and pipe done at Pete Stop; just to change the sound a bit.

I'd love to see / hear your current set up. Did you have the opportunity to baseline your vehicle when it was stock, and subsequently with the muffler delete?

I have a video with the muffler delete but not when it was a stock. This baby is gonna' be my next project once my house done.

TipsZ 05-03-2010 12:08 PM

OK .. I am finally up and running .. where / when do you Tampa area guys want to meet up?

ddvette9 05-03-2010 04:10 PM

I will be home next week either Thursday or Friday after my exams. Lets do a meet on Sunday the 16th or maybe Saturday the 15th. You guys should wait for me!!!!!! It would mean a lot

mrdino77 05-04-2010 09:36 AM

That time Frame sounds good to me because I am hoping that my exhaust will ship later this week. I havent seen an update since last week from tony but I think they shipped up to 121 right now and I am 125 so if it ships this week and I get it next week sometime I can have intstalled on Saturday hopefully and ready for Sunday! That would be awesome!

josh88 05-04-2010 11:35 AM

Sounds good to me. I can't wait to hear your new set up! I just bought that two 10 inch Z enclosure box .. now I just need to (slowly) pick up a decent Head Unit, Amp, replacement speakers. I figure that will take me about 2 months, as some of my other income is being diverted to Z Dayz and a family trip after that.
