Sweet thanks for the info! My car notified me just 2 days ago! Great timing. :)

How hard is it to pass inspections here in austin? Thinking about getting HFC's.

As long as your OBD II read out is kosher, you should be good.

No sniffer test in Travis county. You can pass with test pipes as long as you're not throwing a CEL. Other more rural counties don't even check OBDII. Just make sure you got cash in hand.

Glad to hear that, given that I'll be moving to long tube header's soon. :D

Parked next to MYZ 40 at the tinseltown cinemark for the Avengers.

Hey, guys. I'm thinking dinner around 5:30 at Chuy's off 183 for this Sunday? Let me know if that time works for most.

I've no plans, so that could work. PM me for contact info.

Updated list. If you want something, speak now. I'll be posting everything in the sale section soon.

Regarding the Twisted Sister's cruise, if I want to take my Z for one last hurrah it would have to be the weekend of the 16th-17th. If we need to do it later, I'm sure I could ride along with one of you. I'm not sure I want to add that many more miles to the Z right before I trade it. :/

Here's the map from my home address:

Hey guys, recommended body shops in the Austin area? My Z got into an minor accident - needs suspension checked. Body looks fine, minor scrapes from the curb. Insurance will cover it, just need a good place to go. Suggestions?

H&R in Leander

H&R is kinda far from me.

Have you heard anything good about maxwell collision? The nissan dealers use them as their body shop. Just wanted to make sure the car was brought back to factory spec.

H&R is highly rated in the G community. They worked on my husband's 350Z and the color match was spot on. They also make sure to only use OEM parts. Since you have a PW, I would trust them with the paint match. I used Calliber Collision for some work and while the paint matched, it wasn't as clean as it could be.

I've never heard anything about Maxwell.

:iagree: PW is difficult to match. I would take it to H&R.

If you haven't signed up for Nismo Fiesta yet, you're running out of time! This is the first time it's held in our backyard so it'd be nice to see Austin making an effort.

I think I can make it but it doesn't seem like there's anything to pay for. I don't need dinner on Friday. I won't be able to participate in the track or cruise events on Sat. And I won't be entering the show on Sunday. So can I just come park and observe?

I believe so.

Guys, where can I snag a Front and Rear Bridgestone Potenza RE50A? I need single tires since the body shop replaced both on the driver's side. The ones on the passenger side need to be replaced too since the fronts are at 6/32" and the rears at 3/32"

Any recommendations on just getting single pieces besides tirerack? Really don't want to pay spend so much money this month on tires >_< (replaced the tires on my other car as well).

Insurance isn't paying for that? :icon08: Seems a little ridiculous. I would have told the shop to fuck off paying for the stock tires on one side if you needed a whole new set anyway. Such horse$hit they didn't inform you of this before they replaced the ones on the driver side. If you have to pay for half of the set, I would tell them you want different tires. The ones they mounted should be unused and easily unmounted. You can get better tires for cheaper than the damn RE050s. They suck in the wet and only mediocre dry performance for an extreme street tire IMO. PSS are far superior and less money. Or the S-04s are sooo much cheaper and way better in the wet and at least as good if not better when it's dry. Just my :twocents:

You went to the Nissan place, right? They might be dicks about it. That would be pretty standard affair for Nissan :shakes head:

Should have gone to H&R.

Anyone want the F14s with a OEM base swap? $1300. Come on.....

Yes...very badly, just not in 18's:shakes head:

Function (and cheap tires) over form. :icon17:

They are nice rims though Pint :)

Lol

Who's the idiot in the dark gray vert that cut me off at the last second on 620?

They would look good on a mag black. *hint hint*

Hey everyone, todays my first day actually being accepted to the form. I just moved to Austin 6 months ago and looking for other people with Z's. Wondering if any meets or anything planned.

Should have moved to Houston =P

JK. Austin is a cool place.

Welcome :tiphat:

Austin is a bit less active than some of the other regions, but it's a good group of people. Cars and Coffee at The Oasis the regular car gathering once a month (2nd Sunday I think?), but we occasionally do dinner/drinks at some local eateries. Also, check out the Capital Z Club of Texas - I think they meet every Monday down south (too far for me :()

Give me a shout if you need any help with DIY or maintenance projects. I've got a fair amount of tools if you need to use them.

Cool, i bought the car about 3 weeks ago, i put on Top Speed Test Pipes and a Catback exhaust. Im looking to do a few things right out of the gate. I want to replace head unit, install rear speakers since the sport doesn't come with them, Powder coat rims black and i would love to paint my door handles black.

Does my photo show up on the left hand side? Not showing for me.

I think it's time for a meet up. :p
