Matt where do you work? Just wondering if you are in my building.

Ron 09-26-2012 08:50 AM

VDC_OFF 09-26-2012 08:54 AM

Yes Im going to switch my scratched parts for his new ones :P

J/k looks like you are in the CityWest parking garage. I started seeing a white one parked there every morning.

I wonder who picked up my white 11. They will have blue LED conversion through entire car can't wait to see how they like it.

I don't have any mods on my Nismo I wonder how much I can gain with just the tune? How much do they charge if drive to Austin how can I tell if I already have a tune. Interestingly my car came from Austin and it seems to be really fast.

I took out a Porsche Carrara 4S with ease.

I've been working at a client at Four Oaks Place for the past few weeks. Not sure if that's what you're talking about.

A tune alone will not give you much, wait till you add some other performance upgrades and then do a tune.
The Nismo from factory has a slight bump in HP over the the coupe which comes from a different exhaust & slightly modified tune. Also, Uprev allows multiple tunes so you can tab through them with cruise control. I forget the process but I am sure others can help to see if you have a tune.

Oh ok, your not him then. I guess all parking garages look the same :tup:

neveucd 09-27-2012 09:08 AM

SSP, J Tran, and Secret Service Auto all do UpRev tuning here in Houston. I'd recommend the first two.

VDC_OFF 09-27-2012 04:37 PM

Need to sell these people, have no need for 20's anymore. Taking trade offers.

What are you looking at getting to replace?

VDC_OFF 09-28-2012 08:42 AM

just a bunch of stock 18's for now until I pay off my last credit card. But in the future I see myself with 8 wheels all 10.5 +15 with Kenda tire 265/35's (which we get at $113 ea.) that I can take to drift events and have a full day of burning rubber. Our sponsor only provides 245's for 19" rims at $125 each and 255's for 20" rims at $130 each so Id rather stick with 18's. The Top Secret GTR (my motivation) runs Enkei GTC01 wheels but they only come in silver so Im thinking maybe Enkei RPF1's since they are 18lbs or the PF01 in black. My Advans are 22 lbs in the rear so that would be a good savings. If I want to go the JDM route, I love the Weds Sport TC105N's which also come in 10.5".

TX_370Z 10-01-2012 09:00 AM

Don't ya'll agree that it would be better to part her out then sell as stock?

http://www.the370z.com/cars-sale-pri...rt-pkg-tx.html

VDC_OFF 10-01-2012 09:09 AM

possibly if you take the parts off yourself. If not you have to pay for labor and involve a lot of time and shipping. I told my friend who is looking for a z, ill let you know

Search the forum on the items you are looking at and then throw some suggestions up here and we will help you out. Also, many mods can be done at your own home or wait a bit and come meet up with us and many will help with the install on some items in the future. :tup: We like to do mod days and DIY stuff so people are usually willing to help if we have time.

Buy good JDM stuff, not cheap **** if you want the cash and the respect. Start with guru's HKS exhaust, its always cheapest to buy used from others and to help your fellow houstonians. We will even help you install it! :happydance:

Robert_K 10-23-2012 08:53 AM

I agree 100% with buying quality, authentic parts!!!! Knock-offs; 1) Always fail 2) Hurts the authentic manufactures 3) Aren't seen as highly from those that are truely informed on quality parts.

jvelez1182 10-23-2012 11:00 AM

appreciate all the help. let me know when everyone gets together. I'm down for a good drive.

jvelez1182 10-23-2012 11:04 AM

BTW if anyone is selling parts please let me know. Had mine for a year now and ready to work on it.

VDC_OFF 10-23-2012 11:28 AM

http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...ched-cans.html

Dont miss this, they are perfectly good, guru just doesnt think exhaust should have scratches :P

jvelez1182 10-23-2012 11:41 AM

just sent him a PM. thanks for the heads up. I had a 350z before and loved HKS with berk HFC.

Wilbe 10-23-2012 08:47 PM
