@ Nuki....is yours a black nismo? If so does it have Illinois plates? Seen a black 370 this morning . Lenexa area .

Nuki 06-19-2012 01:38 PM

Quite possibly. Not sure about the plates, I figure they still have the dealer tags on them. Most likely in the eastern side of town.

Re. Cars & Coffee, I approached a business owner a few years back about sponsoring this but got no response. His business would have been great as it's located on a major street, lot's of traffic, and less than a block from Starbucks.

In researching C&C in St. Louis and Oklahoma City, they both are held at a Starbucks. Maybe approach a local Starbucks about hosting this?

I noticed on the OKC C&C Facebook page they have a code of conduct such as no burnouts, no speeding, etc.

If I recall, the C&Cs are held on Saturday mornings from 8 or 9 a.m. to noon.

Good luck!

When I get home from A'stan, I'll gladly volunteer and help coordinate. Can't do much from over here, but I can use my resources over at my350z to get information.

some new cancer i found under the battery box. pretty flat area shouldn't be too hard to fix. but i have spent many hours fully poking around and lets just say its a lot worse than I thought. Id say both floor pans need be removed along with some other very major spots. definitely have my work cut out.

great example of how thin the metal is on this car

new one, was only meant to be temporary, only spent 45 mins on it. needs more sanding and decide on how it will be finished out. will have leather shift boot as well.

Is it difficult finding parts for that?

edub370 06-22-2012 07:52 AM

me and the gf were thinking about going down to earueka springs around the 4th-7th. anyone have any good recommendations of stuff to do down there?

/anyone else wanna cannonball down for a day or 2?

sboden 06-22-2012 08:40 AM

The pig trail...actually lots of really good places to drive. I'll get you some places to eat but it is mostly about the driving. I've done quite a few events down there.

edub370 06-22-2012 09:13 AM

thats what im lokoing forward to. first real trip in the z. how far away is beaver lake?

tower74 06-22-2012 06:31 PM

Well the car is fixed for now...Found that the douches at Executive installed more or less dirt bike spark plugs in my car!!!! Also had found that the intake valve timing control solenoid valve was stuck wide open. We had found it by accident when cleaning the oil off it...dumb luck but I'll take it!!! $300 later but it's running with some new HKS High Performance spark plugs plus a cam sensor. I'm seriously thinking about calling a lawyer to see if I can file a lawsuit against them. Between STS and Executive they have cost me almost $3000 worth of extra labor, lost work, missing parts etc. in the last 6 months.

Do eeet....


Seriously, they should be held accountable for their actions. If you're out money, and can prove it, take em to court. You're doing everyone a favor. Personally, I'd put the information out there so that they lose business too.

Finally looked at a map (sorry still new to the KC area) and yeah theres a good possibility the Nismo would have been in that area. Was there a hot looking asian woman driving it?

Trust me I am seriously thinking about doing it. If my tuner ( Chad @ Modified by Kansas City) can ever get UpRev to send him his tuning license and I can get my car tuned properly then I will be writing a full story on everything I have had to go through with this install. Started at $7500 and now I'm going past $15k :ugh2: ($3500 on body mods) the rest is on the turbo mod.

Couldn't tell the windows were tinted and she was moving pretty quick. My work truck (F350 Crew Cab) does really move to quick.:driving:

edub370 06-23-2012 08:49 AM

Lloyd, I love hearing that it was something small. Seems like every problem u have had with this kit have as stemmed from something executive has done. How's the car run with the new plugs and new control valve
