Anybody know about Rebecca from the Feb. meet, did she join the board?

I did a quick search on Austin members and saw no members I believe were her. Hopefully she is still lurking and will show up :)

I just picked up my 2010 370Z Nismo (#255) this past weekend and I'm looking for every excuse to thrash the city streets with it. Count me in.

Cool. Congrats on the Nismo. Post up some pictures in the "introductions" section.

Thanks. I've been trying to get pics but it rained Sunday & Monday /sigh... I'll get her cleaned up tonight and post some pics tomorrow night, depending.

What color Nismo Fella?

Black. It shows dirt quite well in the sun, otherwise she's a beauty. Had it not hailed(!) during lunch today, I would have taken pictures. I'll take'm and post'em soon.

Nice dude - I have had black so feel your pain ;-)

What part of Austin did hail at? Am I missing something?

There were quick localized storms today in Austin -- nasty 10 minute deluge around Anderson Lane and Mopac, I didn't see any hail, but it was forecast for some areas.

The Hail lasted ~ 1 minute, maybe less. I'm down off Southwest Parkway (west).

Finally got pics: flickr.com/photos/23770935@N06/sets/72157623601365686/

Tonight, i'll whip up a new owner thread in the other forum and post the pictures. Our firewall won't let me access photobucket from inside corporate.

I might be going out of town after all, so move me to a maybe :(

Thanks for the notice cotizi-

Nice NISMO - feshly detailed by the look of it.. ;-)
So I have cut knuckles today, yep, HFC install, did not get done in time after driving to Dallas to get the parts, I tried but had to admit defeat.

How is she with the HFC? ... and how are the knuckles healing ...:)

I have not driven it yet lol I was totally out of time, Wife gone with two eldest kids to a gymnastic meet today so had all that prep last night too.
This is the 4th cat exchange I have done on Z's ;-) still leave my gloves on the side and pay the price of bleeding knuckles, they are healing good, just scar tissue now ha ha.
Got a killa deal on some parts but had to haul to Dallas for them, hence me being pushed for time, car was already on stands with CAT's off come Sat morn, pre trip.
Header install next and some fab exhaust work - when I get time!
Ill be at next one.

Wow, Zaggeron. These pictures are awesome-

man figures the nismo shows up when i cant go :(

Next month : ) http://www.the370z.com/texas/15947-a...rs-coffee.html

It was good meetin' you both, Auston & Zaggeron. And thx for takin such sweet pix! I let Auston take the Nismo for a spin around the parking lot. That gave me the confidence to know there's nothing wrong with her! You shoulduv seen me on City Park Road this-afternoon, the nismo seemed right at home... and I still kept her below 4k rpms, for the most part. So hard...

And Auston, manual says 1200 miles of break in... Thankfully too, cause I dunno if I could have waited 4k miles!

Was cool meeting the GT guys as well. They have some great stories. I look forward to the next meetup.

Thanks Kastley, that was all me :happydance:.

Yeah you're right, it is definitely 1,200 : ) )
good times...

oil change it at 600-800 miles and get on it..... change it again at 1500 ish.

but thats just me ;-)

Age old debate

Man, you're telling me... the GT Guys last night mentioned an unusual break-in of immediately red-lining it (out of the showroom), then immediately changing the oil/filter, adding in a magnet, and then run it like you stole it.

But I've read numerous Z posts similar to yours. I should have ~ 650 miles on her by next saturday morning, then I think i'll take her in for her first oil change, get the front License Plate put on and then add my oil filter magnet. Will see how she runs after that.

Auston, you're right about the weight... I'm not going w/ the sound system anytime soon. I'm finding more and more that I like to listen to the Nismo while I drive it, especially on those roads in west Texas. It adds to the experience as a whole :tup:. Also, that stuff beneath my front right bumper was just what ya'll said, Shipping tape. I pulled it off (smoothly) and all is well. Thanks again!

Hi Ya'll!

I'm really sorry I missed the March 13th get-together! I loved meeting all of you and I hope to attend the next "Z-meet." Fortunately, I have FINALLY registered on the forum and can now keep in touch.

April is looking to have a good turnout. Glad you finally registered. Welcome to the world's largest (according to AK) Yo Dawg Forum
