Also forgot to mention how soft suspension was. Pitch and dived soo much during hard braking and acceleration.

I want....See how goes, ideally like to save a little get a used one. But really love the one drove today.

What was it?

I have math on the brain. Way too much calc in my life. The equation for the post above is kinda like this- 370Z + N=350z^2+22 ok sorry, I'll go back to my math homework now.

What we should do is take your 350z vs a base 370z. then your dads nismo vs base 370z. Then take your 350z vs a 370z nismo. then 350z nismo vs 370z nismo. Then 370z base vs 370z nismo!!!

White 13 with sport (non touring) manual.

I've driven it more than anyone, (only had 6 miles this morning) Took 45 min test drive all around town :)

We need some more white and red around town. Buy it. Take one for the team.

I LOVE black, but need a change up.

The pearl white is scary, being something happens never get to match.

Like the midnight navy blue too...

I wish I had the midnight blue. All time fav color for the z

Jackson, I came across this about the 2016 Z.
2016 Nissan Z: 25 Cars Worth Waiting For 2014–2017 – Future Cars – Car and Driver

Seen it before....

Gotta tell you all Michael talked some serious truth into me.

Keeping my z :) / :(

Love it too much and is right decision overall.

Let phase2 begin...

This Sunday, June 23rd, the Kansas City based Heart of America Z Car Club will have two gatherings.

The first is at the Art of the Car Concours, an annual car show held on the grounds of the Kansas City Art Institute. This is across the street west of the Nelson Art Gallery and just east of The Plaza.

That Art of the Car is one of the most amazing gatherings of classic and collectible cars you'll ever see. The Concours runs from 10 am to 4 pm. There is no official time to show up...just arrive at your leisure. Here is a link: http://www.kcai.edu/events/special-e...t-car-concours

Beginning at 4 pm we'll gather at Fred P. Otts, conveniently located a few blocks west on The Plaza for post Concours food, refreshments, and overall replenishment. Ott's is located at 4770 JC Nichols Parkway.

You are welcome to join us.

I would have a hard time buying a used TT, but does this change your mind Jackson??
Nissan : 370Z Nismo Coupe 2-Door in Nissan | eBay Motors

My buddy sent me that too. But no. Plus would never buy some1 else Fi project.

just not worth it to me in the end. Granted is a cool car, just don't want it bad enough to deal with the payments. On top of starting fully stock all over. Cost way too much to make sense.

So guys, I have had my swifts on for about 2 weeks now and need to get an alignment done somewhere in the KC area. However, I think i need a place that offers some kind of package for unlimited alignments per car for 1 year/ 3year / 5 year or lifetime alignments. The reason being is that in about 1.5 months, I will be getting new wheels and tires and will need to do another alignment. I dont want to wait on my current tires because 1.5 months is alot of driving for me in the Z since I DD during this time. Is there a place in KC that does the alignment package for a period of time and is reasonable that you guys trust?

EDIT: Or i guess if it makes more sense just to pay for an alignment 2 times since it might be cheaper doing it that way instead of buying an alignment package for 1 year etc..

For reference, a four wheel alignment will run you about $80-$100. Depending on how many miles you plan on putting on the car between now and wheels, it may not be worth it. A little extra camber won't accelerate the tire wear much. Especially given the negative factory camber specs.

For reference, I'm about 0.5" lower than Swifts and here are my before and afters with wheels and tires:

So without front and rear camber kits, your camber difference is only going to be a couple of tenths before/after.

I had to get a "specialty" alignment ( meaning just charged me more) when had mine done due to the extra camber arms

where did you get yours aligned?

Randy Reed Nissan - $89.95 for all four wheels. I can see them charging you the "specialty" fee like Jackson had if you decided to go with camber arms.

Their Z technician is really good and they helped me out a lot on the clutch install and issues.

Cool, I was thinking about going to them and plus with the HAZCC membership gets a discount there as well.

You can also book your appt online. Super easy, just go to the service website and fill out your info and what you want. Pick a date and time and they email you confirming.

pbkakta, You might also want to check with our sponsor Santa Fe Garage, They are located just off the Independence Square. They do a lot of specialty alignments for the SCCA Autocross and Road racing guys.

OK guys been thinking about OBX-R Long tube headers for $500 what do you think?
What are the cons?

•High Performance Track Proven Quality Headers From OBX Racing Sports
•Direct Bolt On Set Up Without Any Modification
•Dyno Proven, Increase Low End Torque And Horse Power
•Great Throttle Response With Great Sound
•CNC Machined 3/8 inch Thick Flange
•Dual TIG Weld, High Quality SUS-T304 Stainless Steel For Best Durability
•Comes With OBX Life Time Warranty
•OBX Genuine Products Design and Quality of OBX U.S.A

I wouldn't ever skimp on headers. So if you do want headers, either go with Fast Intentions or Momentum (whoever bought the rights, name escapes me at the moment). You can spend a little more money and get a MUCH better header.

Cheap headers nearly always have fitment issues. And sure the lifetime warranty is great, but that isn't going to cover your labor if a weld breaks. And trust me, you don't want to install headers on a VQ twice.

That being said, I would be willing to bet you won't see much for gains with these. Momentum and FI are the only ones I've heard that have made power. The stock VQ37 manifolds are built REALLY well. And for the money and install frustrations, you definitely want to make power.

Here are some pics of the VQ37 manifolds vs the VQ35's (courtesy of Boosted Performance) :

The headers I want are PPE. $1,000 price with labor I'd cry. Yea I put headers in my 350z. I already knew our headers are so much better, I just wanna max out at full bolt on. Went on the 350z forum and a 350z runs these headers and made good gains. After now pushing getting a GTR until I finish school. I'm now gonna do headers. Maybe around tax season next year. Still gotta get rims and a new exhaust.

It also has a salvage title. Good luck getting a loan.

Go SIGN up for any of us who dream to own a 2013 GTR! They are giving one away in a sweepstakes :happydance:

figured i would give kc guys first dibs

anyone needing (2) 19" tires here in kc? I have 2 almost new nitto neogen's 235/35/19. I'd say they have about 90-95% tread left. These are specifically made for running a slight bit of negative camber. Great tires, I just wanna go a little beefier. I don't have any pics on my work computer but can take some later today if anyone is interested.

$280 OBO

got bored today, did hazcc guys first (sorry if left u out)

also no one has there respective rims, add that later with brakes too

that is great! jackson, you got some skills sir!

btw, moving to a new exhaust. anyone wants my cat back, i'll take $375 for it

Got the painted headlights also. Nice work. Just need the nismo's on it and blue exhaust tip.

Any of you guys removed the clutch oem spring and replaced it with the $15 helper spring or just removed the oem spring without the helper spring? Easy to do?

Yes I removed and replaced with the helper spring. Wasn't bad, took me about 20 mins....guess i work slow, some ppl do it in 10 mins or less. I'm a big guy and its a bit more difficult to get under there and work for me. But to answer your question, fairly easy.

did it make a big diff in clutch feel?
