Ya sounded like a p!ssed off 6 year old. I was freakin out at first. Thought I blew my motor.
Luckily McCarthy had one sitting on the shelf. Waiting for it to cool down. Fingers crossed. |
I just saw a monterey blue with blacked out fangs and door handles, also had what looked like a NISMO s tuned spoiler driving in Leavenworth on 10th street at 610pm. Looked like a female driver. Any ideas if that car is part of a Z club.
|
Yes I beleive I do kno who's that is. Look at the blue 370 in my pic from "art of machine event" on previous page. Nots scotts tho.
She came to the show last year, for her first and only event I beleive she did say she was from Leavenworth. Edit--- So it was definelty the TB but now I'm plagued by the reset procedures. I'm going crazy and after 100 trys and thinking I got em all right still feels all wrong. Any ideas beside running to dealership with tail between legs? |

Yahoo I got it fixed,
Pulling battery cable is only simple ecu reset, not full. There's also reset procedures for, Idle Air Volume Learning, throttle valve position, accelerater pedal postion adjustment. |
Hey everyone. I'm a few hours from getting on that plane to leave Afghanistan for the last time. Not sure about Friday, as I think I'm gonna go see my boy. Wasn't there something going on, on Sunday?
Either way, hope to see you guys soon. |

How much would it obstruct your rear vision?

Re the Art of the Machine Sunday, I just received a note that "Project Phoenix", the 280Z track car HAZCC built, will be on display. The owner, Mike Hamilton, races it quite a bit at Heartland Park, Hallet (OK.), and MAM (IA.) Mike loves the Z and reports it's reliability is "bulletproof" especially compared to his previous track car...a Porsche 914.

it would definately be unique. our cars rear visibility is already crappy enough, so wahts another 3" on the spoiler. i say go for it
|
after spending all last weekend on family wedding events,
happy to say I will be attending both Fast Fridays tomorrow and the Art of Machine on Sunday. as will be my dad his nismo |
I'm sad to miss both but it will be high of upper 70's at the lake all weekend, so it takes the edge off........

anyone else wanna meet up?? |
If you're joining us Sunday, please note:
"*We will have a private room at Minsky's and will receive a 10% discount! *In the interest of safety, they want us all to arrive together. Due to the number of shoppers/pedestrians City Market doesn't want a bunch of cars coming and going throughout the day. After we enter the entrance will be blocked and the security officer may not let late arrivals enter. *Likewise, if at all possible, they want us to stay until the end of the show. I am confused though about this. The show is scheduled to run until 2 (I thought) but they want us to stay until 3 pm. Notice "if possible". I know last year some folks left early. *Exit the same way we entered. *No alcohol or BBQ grills. *We have received permission to leave our cars parked where they are for our get together at Minsky's." _________________ |
i might be out then as i wont be able to stay until 2. if i cant leave early that will be the deal breaker as i have to be somewhere in the afternoon
|
I wouldn't worry about it. I think they are trying to discourage a lot of coming and going. We had people leave early last year without a problem.

Hey everyone.
So got back Thursday. I was dog tired, but I still took out the Nismo. I think what I posted on my350z sums it up: Quote:
Got back last night. So I've done my first "long" trip in it, and I can definitely say that I enjoyed it just as much on the freeway (road noise and all) as I did thursday night cruising around KC. I want to try to make out to todays event but the Z needs washing. Bad. |
Ahhh hell. I think I maybe done will all the traveling BS with this job. Got offered a new job making a nice 6 figure salary. Waiting right now to figure out if they are going to fly me and my 400lbs of tools home or drive home. Either way after yesterday almost loosing my pinky yesterday, I'm done. This damn job was trying to leave a little bit more of me before I left it. Nothing like having your pinky finger being crushed by a 1000lb dish:crying:. Forgot to take pic's of it but let just say it looked like a flat tire....and somehow didn't break:ugh2:. Still hurts like hell.
So I might be able to be around more often for any gatherings. Once to car is fixed.... |
Re. The Art of the Machine, thanks to all of you who braved the heat to attend. Also, a special thanks to Jackson for his recruiting efforts. We had about 26 cars there of almost every generation. It was a great "history" of the Z.
Jackson, please post photos. |
Fantastic shots Jackson. Thanks again.
|
Just.....wow.
=( I'm really sorry I didnt make it, I'd have been drooling the entire time on some of those classic Z's. |
i'm jonesin for a supra....

20 year old Toyota for $35k? I blame Fast and Furious.
|
i'd rather supercharge a nsx. i lean toward style over speed
|
they are pricey. but being able to handle 800hp on stock internals is impresive
tho, the nsx's are sexy |
Well start the new job on Monday. It's probably gonna mean the Z is gone once I get everything fixed. Test pipes will be ordered tomorrow and the tune will follow shortly after. I don't know if Chad is gonna get his UpRev by then but if not then it's off to Union,Mo to get it done.
Then the car will probably be sold....out of state to someone who doesn't know about all the issues I've had with this system. Couldn't do that to someone local and find out the car blew up a few weeks later. I doubt it will but ya never know. |
That's a bummer to hear. So are u on to bigger and better things for your next toy, or u getting another z some day?
Btw, You should sell me the kit for hella cheap! ;) |
