Just spoke with my salesman in Vegas and he had this to say:

So we'll see. I wonder how bad it is to just keep driving it as is. Maybe the 110+ temps are getting to it? :confused:

Could be the temps. I have a supercharged Toyota 4Runner with all of the fuel mods, and it throws a codes and runs a bit sluggish in the summer. It runs strong in the cooler months. On the Z, I have a Nismo exhaust with Top Speed axle back and haven't had any codes.

I will say, adding the oil cooler really helped my oil temp. Last summer when I bought the car, it was around 230 degrees. This year in 110+ temps I'm running about 200-210.

I guess the cooler on the '13 models isn't sufficient enough. Def. not getting those temps in the Summer. 220-225ish.

I installed the cooler end of last year and was waiting til this summer to see what the difference would be. Z runs much better with it. Plus, puts an extra quart of oil in the system and a larger filter. A worthy investment!

Rim repair/scratch repair in Phoenix... any of you know of a reputable shop that does quick, quality work?

Discount Tire scratched my rim and I'm going to be calling them about it today, but I am assuming I'm still going to have to take it to a shop to have it repaired, unless they have their own shop they use (doubtful, and I won't trust them anyways).

Here you go:

Rim Repair King, LLC Phoenix, AZ :tiphat:

Haboob 07-09-2013 08:49 AM

I saw their site. Was just a bit put off by the low budget looking site.

Have you used them before?

Sweet, thanks.

Hopefully Discount will pay for it.

If not, it's not horribly expensive, but an expense I shouldn't have. :shakes head:

Just gutted that this car is 8mos old and already has been scratched, dented, and now this.

Spotted a silver sports package heading on 10 west near Phoenix around 8am. I'm from Massachusetts, and was hoping to spot someone on here during my travels.

I saw a few 350z's

Unfortunately, I don't have my car here. :(

Haboob 07-10-2013 08:50 AM

Dang, I live right by Luke too.

Spotted a Z coming back from Mr. K's BBQ in Tucson near the airport around 1:30pm

NickTurnon 07-10-2013 04:08 PM

Nobody I know..
Must not come into Phoenix because I have never seen him at the shows!

mag_black 07-11-2013 04:37 AM

Ok, my last day here. I went to N 4th Ave. Tucson to party at Mr. Heads and Skybar. Seemed like a college crowd and met some pretty cool girls there.

Anywho, spotted another Z at Tucson Airport at 830pm. It had fast intentions exhaust and Volk SF Challenge

Wow...I guess fuel is cheaper in T-town :(

Haboob 07-18-2013 09:10 AM

Saw/sort of cruised with a black Nismo w/vented hood down Olive Ave and up the 101 N yesterday.

But looking through the AZ members profiles, I don't see anyone with a black Nismo. :thumbsdown:

Couldn't see in the car either, was nice and dark. :tup:

Haboob 07-18-2013 11:08 AM

Yeah, I have been slacking.

I'm getting my rim fixed this weekend or on Tues-Wed, then I may think about washing my car for once. It's just hard to do so when it's going to get spotty and dirty an hour later, stupid monsoons.


I also want to do a cruise up to Jerome soon, and I'm thinking of going to SD and Vegas (to meet up with some of the Vegas people after I place some bets) one of these weekends.

Haboob 07-18-2013 11:10 AM

The black Nismo had a red "Ba Lang" sticker on the rear window, or something of that sort. Was hard to read it.

pfdaxe 07-18-2013 11:34 AM

So glad I have a second vehicle. I've had my Z for almost a year and still have yet to drive it in the rain or even wash it ;)

We're doing a Vegas road trip August 17 for our anniversary but hoping to make it to Pavilions soon.

Still in Tucson?

Haven't seen any Mont. Blue up here yet, I don't think.

The guy that bought my OEM sport rims (James-NW Phx) has one. He added Nismo bumpers and an EVO-R High Wing. Looks good. Not sure if he's on here though...

I'm almost ready for another Pavilions meet. May go this Saturday or the following. Just getting the Z alignment checked this week and adding a custom made mesh grill. Also need to change the oil and drain the oil cooler...

pL4tiNumfi5t 07-22-2013 04:09 PM

Black 370z Sport down in Tucson, as long as Houghton isnt washed out, usually using as my Daily Driver.

I should be getting my rim back from Discount's repair shop (whomever they use) tomorrow. I'm afraid to wash the car, for I may bring back the rain. :ugh2:
