Atlanta, GA?

Nice to see the Atlanta area Z scene is still alive and well. Much more activity here than on the 350z side apparently.

Default congrats on the fog light

Looks good man... I got my rear fog light from Dustin at Z1 also. But did my own install and crimped it to my tail lights/head lights.

I have to second this, Z1 did a heck of a job installing that fog light. Mucho props!

James - The Z looks good at night. I knew that Fog was bright!

The factory Reverse Fog light is supposed to have a "Fog" Switch. Even with the switch ON, it will only activate the light when the head lights are switched ON.

To make the installation simple and painless, I suggest tapping into the Tag Light wires. The Fog Light does not pull that much power and will not trigger the blown blub light on the dash. Once you tap into these wires, you can simple drop the wires down the inside of the rear fascia and connect it to the fog light. Just make sure you secure the wires away from the exhaust. I will be supplying all reverse fog lights with an extended harness and 2 Scotch-Lock connectors for a quick install, however I HIGHLY recommend soldering the wires for a much more connection.

Are you guys able to hook the fog light up to the break lights, so when you break it lights up?

If it matters, I think the JDM setup has the rear fog running when the running lights are on. Z1 did a great job with the wiring on mine!

I'm sorry you won't be in attendance Mike. Hopefully, we'll see you at the next gathering.

I've been in communication with the guys at Z1 about the Dyno Day on July 3rd and we're trying to get an idea of how many people plan on coming so the food and drinks can be purchased.

Please let me know if you plan on attending or not so I can get them some numbers. We hope to see all of you there. If not, hopefully you can make it to the next gathering.

So far this is who will be in attendance:


Kevin -- kevr6
James -- Z1804
Jonathan -- Viera
Chris -- '10Anamoly
Jeff -- jtroun
Kerry -- TN GTM TT
Daisuke -- daisuke149

is it stupid to dyno a bone stock 370z with only K&N drop in?
Maybe I could find out how much hp gain I get from the drop in, my guessing is probably 2hp?

ATL370Z,
It is actually highly recommend to dyno it now since your car is so close to being stock. Normal dyno fees range from $60 ~ $80 for three pulls. This is a golden opportunity to do some base line dyno pulls to document the starting point of you project Z. For $25, you cannot go wrong.

Default Work Varianza T1S Wheels

I just ordered the Work Varianza T1S in a black polish finish in 20s.

20x9.5
20x11


I got a great price on them. Let me know what you think!





Thanks to Kev for taking the time to help me understand and decide the best offset to go with.

I have no idea how people are able to wait 8-12 weeks for their orders, but I have no choice. I'm told that it will go by in a heartbeat, but it sure does not feel like it.
