Hi TravisJB! This is Greg, from Arizona, now florida...winning bidder for your car number! Glad I finally caught up with you! I gotta do a lot of reading backwards to find out what's going on with you. Looks as if you are racing in Virginia? ...a super-charged Z? Cool! Sorry about ur original thread!

Being built "now" is hopefully the salient difference vs prior statement... guess we'll just have to wait and find out! I told him if they're close, to take my pre-order... will update here if anything changes

Hey Raul, nice to hear from you. Still in Miami?

As for me, I couldn't ask for more - all is good in life... occasionally checking this board and seeing fewer OGs... spearfish sold, did you finally sell? I intend to keep mine a couple more years and enjoy the result as best I can... I need to ramp back up my event schedule but it's not as easy as it was in Phoenix, AZ when I was surrounded by tracks <1 hr.

Car is running fine - thought I had a problem with my NAT disabling the vehicle but it turned out to be a shorted linkage. Finally installing the PHUNK fuel system mod and a few other things, then ready to hit the track again v soon.

I think I said it before a few pages ago, but I am pleased to recommend any Z or G owner take their car to CIN MOTORSPORTS out of Charlotte, NC. I put Bobby and his crew ahead of everyone else I've worked with last few years in terms of detail orientation, nissan experience, able/willing to tackle whatever, etc. There shop has gotten busy recently, but they added some staff as well so might have capacity for more project work... if anyone is looking I highly recommend. Mine is there now if anyone wants to swing by and check it out.

I still have mine! stock as can be! Had my tranny replaced a while back so its buttery smooth now. It's running strong and I intend to keep it a while longer. Just made a deal for a set of 40th rays with a guy on here, I thin that will look nice. I'm actually heading up north to pick them up, but I think you're north FL right? I'm not going anywhere that far.

Good to hear you're doing well and that the cars running. I come back every now and then to see who's still around from the OG's. Most of the folks who are have insane cars now, man. I should've stuck to it haha.

What happened with the M3 purchase? Thought you had the whole international delivery thing planned out..

RCZ · 07-23-2013, 10:53 AM

I did, but then I bought an penthouse instead so the M3 will probably not happen for a while. Good news is I can buy a few M3s now with how much the property has appreciated. Gotta love Miami real estate

Funny enough you're kinda right, there's another bubble inflating right now with foreign investors buying up everything. We're well on our way back to 2007 levels.

Anyway, enough thread jacking. Back to the subject.
