We had about 12 Z's, a 1600 Roadster, and a 2000 Roadster in the "Z area" yesterday. Tons of interest in the two Roadsters.

If you have a chance to get out to a local Cars and Coffee, I'd highly recommend it. I just wish Dallas and Houston picked different weekends. I'd love to ride up to Plano and see the cars there.
There were more Z's yesterday than I've seen yet at one of our shows here. for some reason not many Z's attend compared to the vette's, mustangs, challengers, camaro's, porsche's, etc, etc. we had at least one 280, I saw 2 300zx's, about 7 350's, and 4 370's, one of which was mine. Then there was the Nismo that rode in with me to the show, then a PW sports with nismo wheels and painted rear valence and headlights, but the 4th guy I met had the Stillen SC kit on a MBlack one with painted headlights. that was pretty sick as we've only got one or 2 other FI Z's in our area that I know of. I think he said around 430whp. The only other I know of is a White sports with Greddy TT's pushing 490whp I believe.

Do you guys try to park together?

BTW - thank you for posting the pictures. Usually someone from or group posts pictures on the Club's Facebook page a few days after the event. When they come up, I'll post the link.

Here's a link to some pictures from our October car show:

Well me and the Nisom did and then a friend with a 350 arrived and got a spot right next to us but then people just start flooding in and theres not much opportunity unless you get there right at 7 and all cruise in together. But for the most part the Z's were pretty spread out.

About the pictures, thanks. I try to make sure that I post them same day, or I'll just be lazy and it wont get done.

That show near you is killer. Quite a few Z's. That red Nismo 350 is the car I wanted until I drove a 370 for the first time. There were a few that I came very close to buying but I'm very happy I ended up with the 370.

There is a TSB for the hatch issue, where they replace the springs. It fixes the issue for some, not for others.

You can also drop a couple pennies under the springs to fix the issue.



I never cared enough to bother. Double tapping the button is not really a big inconvenience to me.

Yeah I really don't either, but generally speaking the only time anyone opens the hatch is to put something in the trunk, meaning your hands are full. and the real pain is, even if I double tap it from the start, I usually still have to lift it and let it catch, then press it again for it to release. PITA.... OWell

if you drop in the stronger springs + a penny, the issue will pretty much disappear.

Mine pops open on the first try.

The hatch, that is.

Washed my car again today. Despite washing it Friday, the dust getting blown around by 30mph winds yesterday made it look like I had never washed it the day before.
