Never automatic washes buddy!!! Sorry to hear, but like he said "Weight Reduction!!"

SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW AT NOON!!!


I"LL PM YOU MY CELL# GUYS

SurfDog 04-12-2013 10:33 PM

Yep see you at noon. Ill bring some detail spray and a few rags so we can get all shined up lol

SurfDog 04-13-2013 05:20 PM

Shadeez, Import, it was fun to meet you guys!
Fell 23, So sorry we missed you. We took off to a bigger carshow at hooters about 1pm maybe you came later sorry if you felt stood up.

Import, I am totally up for getting together for some track days! I know you are putting in a cooler soon. Order that bad boy up and lets get lapping!
Z-1 got mine to me in a few days and have awesome phone service. Ask them your Stillen questions and either drop it in yourself (I'd love to come by and give you a hand if you like) or MAC Autosports in Parker (that's the shop I was talking to your dad about)

Maybe I'll see you guys again next weekend at the carshow (I'll bring my own models thank you if we want photos... Those hooters car girls were... different)

one last thing I'd like to find contact info for the Colorado Z club. I think it would be fun to make some road rallys. Meet at a coffee house then buzz 285 through south park then over the pass for lunch in Brekenridge or something....

We need at least 4 Zs to be respectable I'd say. :)

By the way Import, you dad seems very nice and obviously is cool and has a fun love of cars so please don't take offense but... I almost asked for his autograph when I met him too... (don't tell him I said so) ;)

Shadezz 04-13-2013 08:30 PM

SurfDog & Importtuner1 its was fun meeting up today and I think we should continue the quest for more Z's and the Colorado Z club like SurfDog said....Also its was funny to hear SurfDog say "I'm not even close to being track ready"...Great MODZ BUDDY!!

Some photos to encourage others to join us next time!!

Also for you guys thinking about powder coating wheels....for 70-75 a wheel he will fully sandblast wheels, smooth curb damage and give you choice of color, gloss.....
Here is the set I had done for my Scion Xb!!!

I think I'm going black again but maybe with a little touch of gloss over the satin black. Any input would help!!

SurfDog 04-14-2013 12:38 PM

I think black would look really good on your car Shadezz... not sure how glossy to go on wheels but in your case with the way you wet look them I think glossy would look great.

IMHO you should Consider Berk High flow cats instead of test pipes.
The cats will keep you legal at smogtime and still give great power and sound (you heard mine)

SurfDog 04-14-2013 12:43 PM

p.s. The only thing standing between me and powdercoating my wheels a darker grey is the logistics of getting my wheels down to the powdercoater.

I think light grey or white might look good if you decide to do your calipers (it would stand off well from your dark body/rims.

Whenever you guys decide to get together and bake/paint you headlights let me know. I want moral support and help when I do mine and I think we could have a fun time banging them out. Shadezz, your car needs them most of all to darken up a bit. (I'm mostly doing mine so they wont reflect so much laser) lol.

importtuner1 04-15-2013 04:33 PM

Yeah it was fun meeting you guys! I'll order the oil cooler as soon as I can. The HKS exhaust keeps calling my name even though I know the oil cooler is more important right now. Someone just posted a used HKS exhaust in the classifieds. Seeing that I can get it $2k new, you think it would be worth offering the guy less than $1600? What do you think it is worth?

I'm going to register for that car show on Sunday. I'll see you guys there! I'm hoping the weather is nice.

SurfDog, Ha! Don't worry I know. My dad has a unique look. No offense taken!

Shadezz, Will you have that exhaust on by the car show? I'd love to hear it.

I think I'm going to pass on the wheels and headlights for now. The wheels are intriguing, but I guess I want other items first. Definitely willing to help out on headlights though. I've done that before on a Subaru so I'm assuming it will roughly be the same procedure. Happy to help.

Yes I should be here Friday or Saturday!!! If I was you I would for the extra couple hundred dollars go ahead with a new system as you'll feel better knowing you've enjoyed it since new. Plus at that price I would expect something new!!


Guys are you going to sign up for the Colorado Z club? I think I'll submit my application next week after the show1!1

SurfDog 04-16-2013 01:10 AM

yeah ill prolly join the cZc. Why not?

Is there a good weekend that you'll be off or on vacation in the next month? We could plan together to do the wheels together, but will need to remove tires also. Expect 2 days without your wheels. We could even plan a trip out there to his massive shop (64th in Commerce city) to check colors and time frames if you want before hand.

Also what IFR routes do you fly for Southwest? I'm would like to punch it in to my flight sim x and take the Citation X, or Lear45 for a Southwest route!!!

Well I don't have any way aside from going to tire shop to pull the rubber off my wheels, but actually I am throwing the potenzas back on for one more season so there is a thought. maybe I'll jack stand the Z pull the tires and get em stripped at big O.

FILE FOR takeoff RWY29 KOAK for the oakland 5 departure Lindon (LIN) transition direct to POWDER for the POWDER1 RNAV arrival into denver landing 16R

YOUR CLEARANCE WOULD SOUND LIKE THIS:

SOUTHWEST 123, YOUR CLEARED TO DENVER VIA THE OAK 5 DEPARTURE LIN TRANSITION AS FILED, CLIMB AND MAINTAIN 10 THOUSAND EXPECT FL 410 10 MINUTES AFTER DEPARTURE, DEPARTURE CONTROL FREQUENCY IS ON 119.75, SQUAK 1234.

(YOU READ IT BACK)

SOUTHWEST 123 READBACK CORRECT. CONTACT GROUND CONTROL ON 121.75 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO PUSHBACK FOR FLOW INTO DENVER.

Thanks for the flight plan!!! As far as getting the tires off the rims, my guys at discount tires on 120th and grant will take them off and reinstall for around 13 bucks a tire including tpms sensors. The will not scratch with fresh powdercoating as they have the advanced machines. Let me know the week or weekend you would like to do it!! Im open to do the headlights soon too!

SurfDog 04-18-2013 11:31 AM

My schedule is full up for a few weeks and other my car is in The shop (something to drive while waiting for powder coat) it will have to wait until June. I think headlights will be fun we should do those at the same time.

If anyone is interested I will be at MAC Autosport in Denver tomorrow getting my Boosted Performance turbo install tuned. My appointment is from 1pm to 3pm. I am driving down from Billings Montana.

Hope to see a few Z members there, I think MAC would like it also, good promotion for them.

The car should make 500WHP fairly easily

I just saw Bill from MAC Autosports today at GO Nissan on Arapahoe. I think they went above and beyond in regard to my oil cooler install so I am definitely using them for my upcoming Uprev tune. Bill seems like a reall no bullsh*t guy.

Unfortunately he was just picking up a couple of wires in the sales department. He is a fan of Nissan though! How can you not be...the 370Z is a beauty and a beast! A perfect canvas for a builder.
