Go to Cali. As silly as it sounds, more shops there.

frost 07-19-2012 10:30 PM

Isn't pro dyno still around?

NickTurnon 07-20-2012 10:57 AM

Im from OC, so I know of shops in CA. But I didn't know if there was anyone out here. Those drives to california really rack up miles for me haha--

I already drive too much. Trying to limit that

1hot370z 07-21-2012 04:57 PM

^^^Tell me of all the good shops in California! lol I moved from AZ to CA, been trying to find some good ones.

I deal with vivid for almost everything. They are great. But I don't think they have a tuner right now. If it was me I would call them and see who they use for some of their customer setups.

hoodust 07-24-2012 01:59 PM

Hey Phoenix area 370z homies... just put on some BC BR's out of town but I'm WAY too low in the rear and don't have the tools to adjust. I'd gladly throw down a little cash and/or beer if someone could take 30 minutes to help me out. Or anyone know a decent place (north valley, desert ridge area) that won't charge my nuts off? :nutswinger: Best quote so far is $100/hr for 1-2 hours! Thanks brothers!

Don't really know any shops in the North Valley, but in Chandler you've got Vivid, that would be your best bet. CZP is in Central phoenix, but I'm not sure if they do Coil install/alignments...

TommyL 08-01-2012 06:24 PM

hello! i just got to chandler few days ago! im drivng a 2010 nismo 370z.. looking forward to see you guys.

Thanks Chrisw... I actually saved some scratch by managing to set my ride height in back. Car handles squirrely over 80, and thanks to a thread on the forum I know it's because I only replaced the rear tires (Conti DWS, which have a WAY higher treadwear than stock). Other than that I am loving my new BC coilovers!

Welcome! I'm north valley (near desert ridge) but I wave at all Z's :tiphat:

Speaking of, when are you north guys getting together again? I keep missing the Blue Agave meets...

Did you get a camber arm set installed too with your coils? The stock arms aren't able to adjust for lowering adequately.

Also, be careful with the BC's, there is a thread or two around here about some negative qualities of them, so just might wanna peek through to be safe. :tiphat:

If they're in reference to what I think they are, there was never a 'meet' there lol And there isn't as far as I know of cause all the ones that would attend have left there.

I got the SPC rear camber kit. They work, but to fix the toe network alignment had to give me around -2 degrees of camber... :( If that's what you mean by negative qualities, lol. We'll see how fast THAT eats my new tires. I actually got the BC's because a lot of folks recommended them on some threads here.

Let me know if you come across the negative thread.

We'll that WAS a long time ago that folks here were talking about meeting there... Admittedly I haven't been active on the forums for some time. I think Frost is mad ^_^

Yeah, my rears were already bald on the inside but in the 180 miles until i could get new tires and an alignment the steel belting was showing and there was finely ground tire covering my bumper!

You have no idea... :bowrofl:

Lol, nice one. Shh, apparently he's a mod now so he might be listening >_<

Not I, I prefer stock, but if you need a functional replacement people have willingly switched out for the oem GTR button for a pretty reasonable fee Motorsport! GTR Push Button Ignition Switch, 09-12 370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts Or you might find that thread and ask one of the folks who switched for the GTR.

tturbo370z 08-17-2012 04:00 AM

Sweet just found this thread! Of course I'm going blind trying to read 51pages of crap. Im glad to know there are members here in my area. Anyone have any meets/gatherings set up for around phx? I'm east valley guy n my shop started a 1st n 3rd wed hangout and I'm looking for more places to hang with like Z owners

NickTurnon 08-17-2012 09:11 AM

I try and stop by the pavillions off indian bend every saturday night. They always have a good showing of camaro's, challengers, evo's, and wrx's.. only one or two 370z's.

We should all go one night, even if its just for a little bit- Shoot the **** and bounce
