This is who we've been using for the past 5 years or so: Home - Winter Park Window Tint

Huck 04-16-2012 02:45 PM

So I went out cruising down the beach yesterday and I was surprised to see 2 370Z's, a blacked out G37 and a black nismo. I never see any Z's on the road, and especially not a nismo. I didn't think there were any even around here. So the question is, why the hell aren't they on this site?! We could have a little mini meet! :driving:

On the other hand, I waved at them when I passed and I just got dirty looks, so maybe not...

Louisiana Z's Major Event
 
Hey GuyZ and GalZ in Florida...

There is a major Z event scheduled on May 19 just east of Baton Rouge, Louisiana at a Nissan Dealer that we would like to invite y'all for - if you care to take a cruise our way! It would be great to meet up and get acquainted...!

Here is the Link: Leblanc Z car show date is set!

Spread the word around to other Florida Z Groups/Clubs that you may know or have contact with.

Hope to see a lot of you there! :tup: :driving:

Juno 04-19-2012 09:30 AM

Thanks for the invite, but that's the same weekend as ZDayZ.

April 28th is the large SFZCC Annual Picnic in Estero, FL. After the BBQ there will be a cruise thru some fun streets down to Naples and then a fun night out on the town. Keeps your eyes peeled. You won't want to miss this.

We go to PAFB on weekends thats as far as we go on weekends. This is my wifes car so she hangs in area. Its mostly a weekend car. I only know of 2 black nismos here. Ours sold black with dark tent and a black one with red pin stripes. If you ever see any others please let us know.

Juno 04-21-2012 11:20 AM

I have a black Nismo, but I haven't been out to the Cape lately.

Grab a room at La Quinta. We have a special rate of $70 because most of us are going to be sauced up from the Naples clubs.

The nismo I saw was black with tint, but the rear bumper that a lot of people do black was actually an orangish-red color. I saw him again a few days ago in cocoa on 524 near publix.

Need your wheels repaired and are in the greater Daytona area? I just had this guy perform a repair on all four wheels (Tire Kingdom damage). Super nice guy and does great work!

Hope Tire Kingdom picked up the tab - how much was it if you don't mind sharing?

Huck 05-19-2012 11:59 PM

I hate tire kingdom with a passion. I have made the mistake of going there three different times, and each time I left ready to murder someone. I am much happier with the mom and pop shop I found. Tire kingdom wanted $210 for my toyo tires on my truck, plus another $20 per tire for installation. Local shop down the street charged $155 mounted and balanced.

Tire kingdom picked up the tab, but I'm relatively certain it runs about $100 per wheel.

Yeah, Tire Kingdom can suck it as far as I'm concerned!

I'll be going down to Trick Pro in Melbourne next time. :tup:

These guys come HIGHLY recommended.

Melbourne Florida's oldest DYNO Speed Shop

Huck 05-20-2012 12:21 AM

Sweet, I'll have to check them out. When I get my uprev done I'm probably gonna use White's automotive, my buddy is getting his 300z built there, and has already done his Silvia there. He has nothing but good things to say about this guy, so I'll give him a try.

Got exhaust and HFC as well as that GIII?

happytheman 05-20-2012 12:11 PM

I know you recommended those folks down south in Melbourne, but unfortunately I couldn't ask someone to pile tires in their ride and take em down there for me. Next time I will just have em drop shipped down there.

Yah! Derek is the shiznit! I go to him exclusively.

Hey..next time you come over to have Derek do some service work on your ride, we should hang. :tup:

I will soon! Tiny quoted me for the middle of June to get my LTH/CBE non res combo. The headers are gonna be a PITA to install I think. He said it would be an average 7-8 hours I stall job. Gheyyyyy... But I can't wait, it's gonna be beast. Then I'll put my pulley on and uprev her, and then engine-wise she's just about done.

Dude, you should take your ride to Derek and have him install it. He has a full shop including lifts and everything at his house. I'm telling ya, he works on the Z EVERY day and is more than qualified to do this for you.

Let me know if you want his number. He lives in Lake Helen.

MickZ 05-21-2012 01:37 PM

WaZ up. Just got a 370Z a couple of weeks ago. Had a great 350Z before. Anyone here from South Florida area?? Broward, Dade, Palm Beach??

Already a member, but thanks. Not all Zs go on there and just wanted to see if any other 370Zs were in West Broward actually.

There are a few of us around, not as many as I'd like though. Welcome! You might check zclubofflorida.net, the JAXZO section for more z owners from Jacksonville.

Thanks for the update on nismos in area. was it painted that color for real or was it recked? But ours will have a big roll tide alabama plate on back. It sucks that bama and gators dont paly each other any more.

Stay away from TK. They do bite. T J has always been good with me. I known him for 9 years now. He did some pully work on our 95 neon years ago. See pic on my members list. Its one bad *** little car. I also get my nos from next door to TJ. Good $.

happytheman 05-21-2012 08:40 PM

N1cd, that was a lesson hard learned, but I have recovered!

As far as I could tell it was painted that color, it was just the rear valence. There's also another white Nismo living in Melbourne beach now. Met up with him and his wife a few weeks ago for some drinks, they are both super cool.

Speak of the devil, I saw him today right down the street from my house at publix. He was parked all the way in the back so maybe he works there. Attachment 47430 I left him a note.
