Was it mine?

Where'd you see it? Parked next to or following a GTR?

What part of town? If you're anywhere near the West side, I'd suggest Avondale Nissan for any dealership work - Joe is the GTR tech and is great. I probably wouldn't have anyone else work on mine (I haven't had work done, but my buddy has had TSB and aftermarket installs done by him on his GTR).


He and I are at the Pavilions almost every weekend, but park farther away (over by Home Depot and Conns) to avoid the crowds, etc.

I saw a midnight purple GTR. Could have been you behind him

Yeah, that was us. :)

Haboob 04-22-2014 02:41 PM

Pretty sure we'll be there this weekend too. I'll try to remember to seek you/your car out.

SS_Firehawk 04-22-2014 03:49 PM

Haboob, do u think your Master tech friend can help me?

My AC has been acting up since 2012 when I got back from my first deployment. I took it in to Nissan comlaining the **** keeps blowing hot air at me. Now it only has 5oz of Freon and the compressor body is leaking when I took it to a shop to get my AC working. The f@cking compressor costs $1200. I will toss him some money if he's able to get it fixed under warranty. The guy at the shop I took it to doesn't feel that anything on the car caused the problem. But I know the second they pop the hood, they will tell me to pound sand. 7zero2-4six6-nine4six8 my name is Eddie. Or u can call me and say I'm F@cked too.

I'll see if my buddy can talk to him. I have only met Joe once, but my friend seems buddy-buddy with him. I'll let you know. I'll try to see if I can get him to call today.

tturbo370z 04-22-2014 04:47 PM

Anyone know an expert or shop that has an expert with an hks evc 6? The japs over engineered the **** out of this thing and I need it to stop over boosting cuz I don't want to hit 26lbs of boost everytime I want to get a little squirly. Hope someone knows someone :ugh2:

Only one a search came up with was off of the 10 and chandler blvd and nothing in Gilbert at all.

Check the Chevrons - I've noticed several of them have had it. There is one on Price and Chandler. They might have it. The one by my place on Baseline and Kyrene does. I'm looking to go FI and E85 at some point, so been keeping my eyes open for convenience...and price.

I believe I drove thru that one and they didn't carry it, but I was just looking for the yellow handle. I have been gassing up at Elliot/I10 by the autoplex there. It is a chevron. Price doesn't really matter as it's a little cheaper but u burn 30% more, so I'm gassing up at a quarter of a tank with 166miles on her lol Thanks for keeping the eyes out. I have been on numerous e85 locator type sites and so for the one on Elliot is the closest.

fitxpert 04-23-2014 10:48 PM

Haha - right on. Well, now you have a bailout point if you can't make it to I10 and Elliot! LOL I didn't know you're on e85 now. Would love to see the turbocharger one day.

NickTurnon 04-24-2014 10:12 AM

Public E85 Ethanol stations and prices in Mesa, AZ
Public E85 Ethanol stations and prices in Phoenix, AZ

Also known locations (not in your area):
Bridwells Self Service - Lincoln & Scottsdale Rd
Chevron - Scottsdale Rd & Deer Valley

Another option... You could always join "PHX Auto Scene" on Facebook for a day or two and ask them. You will get 40 responses in 5 minutes. 90% of them will be worthless. But some people know their **** and will help you.

Would love to get together and talk Z stuff and anything else bro. I'm hoping to head up to pavilions Saturday with Eddie if he is going. It all revolves around the new little princess in the house thou.

tturbo370z 04-25-2014 04:27 PM

Who has the silver nismo that was trying to race me this afternoon on Warner rd? It was cute :bowrofl: anyway u a fellow z bro in my neck of the woods let's get together and talk cars my man :driving:

Haboob 04-25-2014 04:50 PM

My buddy and I should be out at the Pavs tomorrow night. We're just going to record the UFC fights, so if you talk to me and you have seen the results... Do not tell me! :icon17:

tturbo370z 04-25-2014 06:12 PM

It looks like there might be ran tomorrow girls :shakes head: if for some reason it's dry ima get out there. Need to find not only someone who is an expert on using an hks ev6 to help my over boosting sitch but I'm in need of a tech who rocks at setting up kw v3 before I change them to something else.

Haboob 04-26-2014 12:59 PM

Looks like the rain should stop by 3p.

Not a bad turn out tonight. Some annoying cars and bikes though. More so than normal.

Hey pfdaxe, I was just checking out your album and I was curious if you did your headlight mods yourself, if not where did you get it done? You have a sick Nismo btw.:tup:

Is anyone interested in a set of sport wheels?

Practically new from a 2013 with only 3k miles on them. OEM tires included however TPMS are not. PM me if you are interested. I am in south Tempe.

lauj 05-06-2014 06:17 PM

I am deciding if I want to get the carbon fiber or the SS FI Exhaust . Does anyone here have the FI CF Exhaust with resonated test pipe combo? And also with the SS TDX Exhaust with resonated test pipe ? I would like to hear it in person before I order the system from FI.

Haboob 05-06-2014 06:24 PM

Debadged it today... man that is stressful and it's still not done, but I ran out of time. A little bit of the sticky film on it. I'm not sure exactly how to get it off completely now.

GooGone isn't working.
A blow drier didn't work.

/shrug

I may end up just buying new badges and plastidipping them black, and continue with the rest of the Nissan badges and handles.

Kev, try some WD40, Carb Cleaner, or Tar Remover if GooGone isn't working.
Blow dryer probably isn't heating it enough. I have a heat gun if you want to borrow it.

If you do dip your badges, buy a can of glossifier and finish them off with that :tup:

tturbo370z 05-07-2014 10:04 AM

I have a like new set of Michelin pilot super sports with only a 1000 miles on them In a 305/30/20 of anyone is looking for new meat. $400 for both if anyone is interested. Will have them off the car hopefully next week when my Mickey Thompson street drag radials come in. Figured I would drop a line here to my local boys b4 I take them off and hit the forsale forum next week.
