It was like $600.00 with the clutch, flywheel, CSC, CMC, and SS lines installed. If your just looking at a clutch i would imagine it would drop a little.

Anyone in the twin cities down for an early spring cruise? :)

Motiv8dZ 03-03-2016 11:56 PM

Let me know next time you want to cruise around. I'm not too far from downtown

I don't find myself checking this thread as often as I probably should.

Who's all going to the show up at Running Aces this Saturday?

1cleanZ 07-07-2016 03:24 PM

crickets here in the Midwest threads for 370's in MN :\

Zthirty4NISMO 07-11-2016 10:43 AM

I'm here lurking.. I'm in SW MN, haven't posted in here before but am interested to see where some MN guys are at.

4TthAnnyZ 07-11-2016 08:04 PM

I'm in Saint Cloud, the ******* of MN. Probably the only 370 in this town. I haven't seen another in the two years I've had it.

Thinking about getting a motorcycle to bring some excitement and danger to my life.

There are more and more 370's popping up every day it seems here in the twin cities as pricing keeps dropping on them.

Hello fellow MN Z owners...

I have a '13 Nismo in magma red that I want to keep washed and waxed in the summers. The only problem is that I live in a tiny apartment in downtown Minneapolis without a car wash area. When I used to live in Plymouth I was washing my car about every other Sunday morning and waxed it once a summer. Now I'm thinking about getting an unlimited monthly touchless automatic car wash deal somewhere. Any recommendations on where to look, or how to keep my nismo shiny in the summer?

Motiv8dZ 08-15-2016 12:47 PM

Holiday is where I go. I recently just moved to crystal and have a driveway to use if you wanted to swing by ever. The only trade is you'd have to teach me how to wax the car lol I've been watching some YouTube vids and still can't get the swirl marks out!

Are they even under 20k locally yet?

Early year base models are.

Just put my Z away for the winter, but maybe we can get some cruises going this Spring?

I hardly ever see Z's in Minneapolis. Everyone's on the FR-S/BRZ hype train. I actually sold my '13 FR-S for a '15 nismo... best decision of my life.

Zthirty4NISMO 01-05-2017 04:43 PM

Hey MN guys! So when I sit and look at my Z hibernating all winter, I find myself looking at parts and what I'm going to buy for it. Looking at doing quite a bit of Fast Intentions stuff so I'm looking for reputable shop recommendations for doing install work, tuning, and dyno runs (for those of you who don't do your own work). I'm aware of DB Performance in Rodgers, but have no experience with them.

TIA

Zthirty4NISMO 01-17-2017 11:46 AM

Nevermind, looks like a fellow Minnesotan already inquired about this. I usually search too..:rolleyes:

iidylii 02-20-2017 08:36 PM

Thanks for the info guys was just searching for some dyno tuning around MN...ill probably go to DB performance in Rogers although I live 3 hours away in hibbing...I don't suppose there is a dyno tuner in duluth mn is there? Would love not to have to drive 3 hours for this lol

Anyways I have a 14 nismo and just got long tube nismo intakes, fast intention resonated test pipes, and fast intentions CBE...I don't know much about tuning but I assume it would be a good idea to get a dyno tune at this point?...I don't plan on much more engine work so I figured a tune was in order? Any thoughts on any of this thanks guys

Do you NEED a tune? No. Can you benefit from one? Definitely.

There was one place in Duluth, if I remember correctly. Mostly specialized in DSM and related things. This is knowledge from 8-10 years ago, so don't take my word.

Rare to see another Z, especially a NISMO, in Hibbing. I was the only one for the longest time as far as I knew. We just moved back from Japan and are living south of Minneapolis.

JCar 03-14-2017 09:58 PM

Hey guys

I just sold off all my Z parts, but found one more in my garage. I have one of the carbon front lip accents for a '14+. Brand new never mounted. It's basically just an add on for the front center of the cover. I don't remember how much I paid so I'm open to any offer.

Throwing some parts up here for sale if anyone is interested.

Everything "or best offer (OBO)" for MN owners.

JCar 04-13-2017 07:30 PM

Did you have any troubles putting the exhaust on?

Silverstone 04-14-2017 01:16 PM

They bolted right on after removing the stock muffler using the original hardware. Gaskets are included.

Sorry should've been more clear. I meant the ARK system I sold you.

We're always getting groups together for cruises. I'm in Apple Valley.

Oy! If only that would fit my car!

JCar 04-23-2017 09:27 AM

If you know anyone who has one it will work with send them my way. It's not doing me any good. I though it was cool not sure how long term durability would be though. I believe it's the same one used on the Royal speed shop Z.

SmoothZ 04-24-2017 06:44 AM

I did a lot this weekend including washing the Z and cleaning out the garage. Got rid of an engine hoist yesterday. Some dude saw me pulling the hoist out yesterday as I was taking pics of it, so he figured I was selling it. It was funny how quickly I got rid of that thing.

If you're still interested in cleaning your garage, I wouldn't mind the floor jack and heater. I have 2 jacks, but one is like 20 years old and has a leak so it doesn't stay up.

ezred 04-24-2017 10:04 AM

Anyone see my posts in the DIY section? Need help with the wiring on my fog light I installed last week, thoughts? Thanks.....

Ahhh... :rofl2:

Bolted right on. Had some stuck nuts on my stock exhaust that gave me trouble. Had to do some adjusting to keep the center section from hitting the underbody brace. Works well, thank you.

I'll take the amp and wiring off you if you want to get rid of it. I can use them in a project for my wife's car.

They are yours if you want them. I have 2 new wicks for the heater as well. In fact I've never actually used it so it's clean!

Let me know where and when, and Ben will come with and make a Z meet out of it at your place!

Just let me know when you want to come by.
Any weekend is cool. Otherwise I'm usually home around 7 during the week.

Sounds like this weekend it is! I remember it being a beautiful drive around the lake. Hope the weather's nice.

SmoothZ 04-26-2017 07:24 AM

Stupid weather! :)

I keep thinking that I've got something to do on Saturday, but that's in the evening.

Ben and I can cruise to your place, just PM your addy to us.

If there's anything you may need, just let us know. Ben is good at moving furniture....lol

Motiv8dZ 04-26-2017 07:36 AM

If you guys are cruising, let me know too

Whereabouts are you? If you live near International Falls, you've got some driving to do. ;)

Motiv8dZ 04-26-2017 06:45 PM

Ahh I see, I'm in the cities but later this year I do plan on taking a road trip to Canada with my lady so we might be able to meet for an impromptu Z run for a bit

SmoothZ 04-26-2017 06:50 PM

I put together an event for May 6th. Some guys and I have been talking about driving our Z's to Chippewa Falls and to see the brewery there.

Interested?

I posted the event on Facebook on the Twin Cities Z Car Club page.
