that sounds really strange. i realize that it's a big deal to put a car on this machine but damn i wouldn't tie it up for that many days (granted they didn't intend it to be that way i'm sure) and not move on to another customer's car. also, the nissan parts distribution center for the southeast is less than 30 miles up the road in greenville... what's the issue? :wtf:

He told me though if it doesn't get there by the end of the day today they were going to roll it off and put mine on to get it fixed tomorrow... So hopefully... my car should be done tomorrow... :ugh2:

I'm not putting money on it or anything. :shakes head:
:bs: 2012 is not the year for z owners. :confused:

Ok so based on this week's BS. They have tomorrow. If my car is not FIXED tomorrow, I'm going to get it and keep it over the weekend. So I'll be able to make the meet if it's still going down Sat...

So, is the meet going down sat and if so, where is the meet up spot for the upstate people?

FYI If it's not fixed tomorrow, I won't be able to do any aggressive driving. Just so that's known if there's any sort of 'fun' bits on the agenda. Trust me, that aggravates no one more than me. :shakes head:

ClemsonWill 01-20-2012 10:15 AM
Yeah, you all need to let me know when you are going to try and cruise in to Charleston. I should be free around dinner time but the sooner I know the better chance I will have to meet up.

XwChriswX 01-20-2012 10:32 AM
Supposedly my car should be fixed today. So I'll be looking to get it to an alignment shop asap this afternoon, or first thing tomorrow morning. After that, I'm all up for cruising. :tup:

The wider the better!

RedNismoZ 01-20-2012 12:57 PM
We're going to meet at the Swansea/cola truck stop parking lot (exit 115) at noon, easiest spot for everyone in general, but we are also picking up more people on the way down. :D

XwChriswX 01-20-2012 01:53 PM
Oooookay, so the update I just got, they've spent the last hour and 45 minutes trying to get my car on the rack. Apparently being lowered and having FI 1st gen pipes, the cans are hanging too low to get it on the machine. :mad:

I just told them if they can to take the rear sections off and get it on the GAWDDAMN machine, get it fixed and gimme back my key! :shakes head:

To the guys credit he's been up front with me and told me everything that's been going on. So it's not a fault on him, bad business practices, and my shitty luck are what are killing me. Otherwise the tech is a good dude.

XwChriswX 01-20-2012 02:12 PM
Ok, he just called me back, and they tried backing the car onto the rack and it worked so my car is finally a week later getting the frame alignment checked. He said he's gonna call me back in an hour and a half to give me an update. He says the goal is to get it done today. They close at 6...



We shall see. :icon08:

If anyone is still interested on going pm me your cell, or vice versa and we'll worm something out! :D

Awsome! Its actually a Camaro though. Pics are in my album if you want to check it out.

XwChriswX 01-22-2012 02:27 AM
Sorry I couldn't make the cruise guys, the car ended up not getting finished, so it looks like Monday I will go there, and I am not leaving the building without my car. :ugh2: Then sometime later in the week I'll head down to Z1. :tup:


If the cruise didn't happen, would anyone be up for one next weekend or something?

RedNismoZ 01-22-2012 11:24 AM
It turned out great, had about ~20 z's out.

Was that your Red Nismo in Charleston (Rivers Ave) Saturday night during that down pour? I was in my VW GTi, no way I was driving my Z in that rain.

On another note; it has been my experience that sometimes you don't want to rush the body shop. I understand the separation anxiety but the last thing you want is for them to do a shitty job and the Z starts to handle way different from you are familiar with. I'm not trying to pontificate...I'm just saying do a thorough test drive.

XwChriswX 01-23-2012 12:19 AM
Any ideas for the next meet up?

ClemsonWill 01-23-2012 08:17 AM

Yeah the 17th is a better date for me. I forgot that the 31st is my anniversary! I don't think I could sell her on a high speed romantic mtn cruise.

Roosky, I'm about to do a 3" lift and add 33" tires to the jeep when we gonna get muddy

ClemsonWill 01-24-2012 12:04 PM
I can't do the 17th. I will be out of town for work that weekend.

Awsome. Im ready most weekends. Have you found any off road stuff near Asheville? Gorges State Park is pretty good. Call me on the cell or shoot me a pm. There has to be some stuff up your way. BTW make sure you get some soft springs that will articulate. The stiff stuff rides like $hit..

Rooskey 01-25-2012 01:25 AM
Ok guys since the 17th and 31st are out im gonna check the schedule and post a few more dates. This is a meet for a mountain run/cruise not for a car show. To think about it, lets make it an annual meet. 1st annual springfest Z mountain run. April is the month!!!

XwChriswX 01-26-2012 12:41 AM
I don't care what date it's on. I just wanna :driving: :happydance:
