Thanks to all.
John, your going to have find a tissue on your own buddy. ; )

Go to proclips website and plug in your car and phone info.

Looks great... Getting my headlights done (they are same exact as yours) has been my favorite mod so far..

You can have some of mine...I just got done.

Kevin, it was good to see you at ZCON last week. Your Z always looks spectacular and I dig the orbs! See you at Z Nationals in September!

This is the only photo that I have (at Fort Jackson) that is anywhere near clear that kind of shows your orbs and my single LEDs together. My other pics from head on had too much glare on my point and shoot digital.

Your pic probably came out a pinch better them my shot! I enjoyed talking car stuff with you! You should definately attend ZNats!! I think ZCON is turning out to be for the older model Z cars primarily!

Arrival!

Were there any announcements of the future of our cars?

Not really. I believe we will see the current body through 2014.

I asked the Nissan rep there about any possibility of discontinuation of the Z and he emphatically stated no. He would not provide any further details on future iterations of the Z but it will still be in production. I also filled out a suggestion/feedback card and identified oil cooler and gas cluster as problems that need to be addressed in future Zs. Also asked for more HP and Torque!

Kev, I will see you at Z Nats for sure!

Saw your car at the show Friday. Looked great. Still cant figure out how you go third.

if it was the judged show, its probably because the ZCCA uses really different judging standards. Its a points system, and cleanliness and crap like that is more important than overall aesthetics

Kev, not saying your car is dirty, just that they don't look at the same stuff most sane people do.

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

Actually I placed second. The first place Nismo belonged to Chris Karl. He had intakes and a shift knob on his car.
He actually made up the judging criteria, so he knew just where to clean. I'm guessing that's why he won!! To me that's a confict of interest, but what do I know.
(It was funny how he left the pic of my car out during the slide show announcements at the banquet! He knew the crowd would not agree.)
I have a pic of that!!

Also, my car was spotless and the judges were knit picking to the extreme!

I've judged VW/Audi shows 6 years in a row that were three times as large so I have some experience.
One major part of judging a "Modified" class is how the vehicle was modified and how it all ties together. The guys that were judging admitted that their cars were stock!! They shouldn't have been judges. It's over and Z Nationals is coming up soon!! That is a real show and I can't wait!! :tup:

I too was perplexed by the whole thing. I figured the best I'd do was maybe third if I was lucky in Street Modified. Then found out I took first in stock (I'm considered stock, really?) in addition to People's Choice for 370Zs. When I didn't see Kevin in first I just said, "WTF?". Very odd to me but I have little experience in these sanctioned things. I guess I'll wait to see the official tally to see just what transpired. I too am looking forward to Z Nationals!

My wife and I voted for your car!! :tup:

Your Z looks sick Kevin, definitely a lot of great ideas in here that I can use on my own! Definitely love how you painted the sunline kit in the front. :tup:

What is it with the judges at these Z conventions, they seem to be completely retarded. First, kirkster gets 2nd place in stock class at ZDayZ with his supercharged Z and now Jon gets first place with his Z. I have seen it in person and nothing about it says stock at all :icon17:

Ive entered 2 ZCCA car shows in the past and I will never make that mistake again due to a lot of the same BS that happened to you. You should have won your class, your car is beautiful.

Thanks a bunch!! I drive mine just about every day also!! There should be consideration of year and accumulated mileage!! There were alot of trailer queens there too. So far Z Nationals is the best z event to me!! I may venture to Zdayz next year though!! ;)



Thanks for the Props!! I just think the judges are out of their element with modded/ newer vehicles with regards to ZCCA. It's unfortunate, they are alienating themselves from us 370Z guys!! :rolleyes:
I also think some folks should step down...

You might want to check out Branson Z Fest sometime if it isn't too far, a lot of great roads and tons of entertainment.

I want to make it to both Zdayz and Nationals.

Zdayz was people's choice, so there were no 'judges' per se, or you could say every entrant was a judge

Sounds like a show I went to years ago at a church funtion. Most of the members from the church won. Couple of members one two awards for the same car. :icon14: Could of spread the wealth.

Much appreciated! :tiphat:

There were only 3 cars in the Street Modified category. I was certain that Kevin would win that. I got 3rd place as I expected once I heard the nismo belonged to one of the planners of ZCON. I figured there was no way they would justify Kevin not winning. They managed to do that very easily.

Truthfully, that show was not very welcoming to the 370Z community. Most of the judges had no ideas of the mods for our cars and what the heck they were judging. That's why a nismo with a shift knob and intakes won. IMO in order to qualify for street modified you should at least have custom wheels and exhaust on your vehicle.

The experience at ZCON was insulting to the guys on this forum who spend money on their car, making them look nice for shows, and hoping people will appreciate them.

ZCON was a Datsun show. Kevin you WON that class hands down!!!

Thanks James! You noticed how I wasn't to surprised!!
Our two cars were the only ones that really showed the potential of the 370Z body!

I never really thought gold looked good with a silver/grey shade....youv changed my mind. I think it all has to do with the rim spokes.

Yea, you handled it much better than I did. I know how much thought goes into putting a car together so everything just fits with the color and the lines of the car, so I was quite annoyed. Plus, our car are daily drivers so the ability to keep a daily driven car "Show Ready" to me is also forgotten in these shows. Now I understand why all of the 370Z that were at ZCON was not entered in the show.

The criteria for the judging was not bad. I actually learn a lot about preparing my car for a show. It would have been worthwhile if the judges remained objective.

You have one of the BADDEST 370Z in our Z community, so to come in 2nd to a stock nismo is quite insulting. I have a to find a picture of that nismo to post on the forum and show to everyone.

Maybe we should caravan to BransonZFest next year. I wouldn't mind checking that out. It's only and 8 hour drive :tup:

I have pics of Chris, his car, even his decals on his car. LOL I also have pics of the slide where he left out my pic and put the wrong name on your car pic.
Just haven't decided whether I want to post them!

Do it!

I will gladly post them. I think it's important for people to know about the CRAP that occurred during ZCON.

yeah post them up man.

I may go next zcon. not enter. just go to the banquet. and start a ruckus when the "man" is up on stage.
