But vacation was worth it.

Where was vacation? Try to make it to the meet in Scottsdale on 1/31.

Went to D.C. for a week over New Years. Had a great time. I brought the "warm" weather with me, and left it here to "snow" in Phoenix. :icon17:

The day we left the wind and snow were moving in finally - didn't get to see the snow, but it was due the day after we left.


So... to this date, I still haven't seen snow. May try to head north over MLK weekend and see snow.

I dropped my car off at the shop yesterday. Hopefully it will get all squared away and I can show up to some of these events. :)

Hey fella's,
Wife wants to move to Arizona next year... Got a few questions, were is the majority of Z owners from. What is a good area in AZ to move to.

Wanted to get a feel for were everyone is. I love our cars and looking for like minded crew. Good shops and AutoX events.

brutusvk 01-24-2015 09:23 AM

Lots of great places in the valley. I am partial to the NW Valley. It depends on finances. There are many demographics in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Northern AZ can be very pricey in areas like Sedona, etc. Tucson is another big area too. Where you thinking of moving to? Job?

Retired, 100% disabled. Looking for long twisty roads and a house with no CDD or HOA. Tuscon is were i have been looking. Oro Valley but we haven't decided yet.

cycy89 01-25-2015 01:13 PM

Anyone in flagstaff? I'll be driving by and camp out at the Grand Canyon fora couple of days this week, would like to meet up and grab food in flagstaff. Satchno's is pretty good, yeah?

Xerodx 01-25-2015 02:08 PM

I live around wild horse pass raceway. They are always usually doing some track and drift stuff. Maybe i'll see ya there after I buy drift wheels :)

I live in the West Valley, but I don't really like it. They do have a large retirement community over here (Sun City and Sun City Grand), but they also do on the far east side in Mesa/Gilbert as well.

I'm hopefully moving to the Scottsdale/Central Phoenix/Tempe area soon, a bit of a younger crowd, IMO (I'm 29).

Oro Valley is beautiful though, in Tucson. Though, I don't really think there's much to do in Tucson. It's called "North Mexico" for a reason...


You're not going to find many twisty roads in the city. There are some over in Ahwatukee I believe and up near Congress on the way to Jerome and the Grand Canyon. There may be a few more south near Tucson though.

Haboob 01-25-2015 03:49 PM

Oh, and most West Valley homes do have an HOA, the newer East Valley communities do as well.

I love Tuscon even though I don't live there anymore. There is a race track as well but I don't know anything about events. Also, if you are looking for a milder climate, you should consider Prescott. It's one of the best retirement small cities in the USA and there is easy access to canyon roads. I don't know if there is any AutoX, but Phoenix is 1.5 hours away.

Hotrodz 01-25-2015 09:24 PM

Hey cycy when are headed this way, because you will have to travel through Kingman to get to the Grand Canyon? I will picking my Z up on Friday and leaving Kingman on Thursday. I would very much enjoy meeting you and seeing your Z on the ground instead of in the air on a lift...LOL

I won't have my z unfortunately. I'll be camping at Grand canyon Wednesday and Thursday, and will be in LA that weekend to check on the Z! I don't know where kingman is but I'll be in flagstaff for lunch on Wednesday before head to the canyon.

Hotrodz 01-25-2015 10:42 PM

Got it...Kingman is west of Flagstaff so when you leave the Grand Canyon and head west to LA on I40 you will pass through Kingman two 1.5 after you leave Williams. I will be in SoCa all weekend too, maybe we can meet up at FI if you are there on Friday.

I thought they were going to tune your car as well this week...didn't think they had anything else to do?

JENZ 01-26-2015 12:55 AM

Hey guys just wanted to pop in and let you know I have some parts still available and being that you're all in AZ it would be feasible if you wanted my roll bar to arrange something. Hotrodz is my buddy and can vouch for me if you weren't sure. :)

Ya for sure. The plan is I'm gonna test drive it on saturday and go to super car Sunday with FI. I'll work out the details with Tony this week. I need to go to aero jacket to pick up a few parts as well.

Hotrodz 01-26-2015 07:36 AM

Outstanding, have a safe and great trip on your way out west.

I would have taken them off your hands but already had mine ordered when I saw u where selling some. FedEx has mine lost somewhere between here and Cali at the moment haha

NickTurnon 01-28-2015 10:24 AM

Hey AZ Fam -

I posted in here a few months back about me starting to work downtown at Apex Customs. We specialize in Vinyl but we do a wide variety of other things as well..

Window Tint
Powdercoat
Liquid Wraps
Plasti-Dip
Blacked Out Lights
Custom Lighting Interior/Exterior
Commercial/Business Wraps
Custom Graphics & Decals
Performance Parts Installation
Clear Bra's & Protectants

I somehow convinced our Boss that we should run a special for 370z's. So, for anyone that has ever wanted a full color change on their Z in either vinyl or plastidip/HaloEfx, or any of the other services listed on the special... NOW is the time to do it!

I don't know how long the boss will keep this special up and running. PM me if you guys have any questions and then I can give you a call or just call Apex and we can give you some more information. ALSO, This special price ONLY applies for a 370z. If you have another car, we will still be able to offer special pricing for a package like this, but it wont be the same as this pricing.

In flagstaff now! Getting lunch!

Godzirra 02-05-2015 11:53 AM

Hey AZ peeps! Anyone here live at Toscana of Desert Ridge? It's my second home and I saw a white 370Z in Building 1' garage. I wanted to say hello. I was cleaning my GTR and getting ready to take her out. Anyone on here by chance?

I don't know anyone that lives there, but I use to work there when it was being built. I was the Safety Manager for the developer :happydance:

Don't know of anyone that lives there either.

There are only a handful of Z owners in AZ on these forums. The rest neglect them. :(

I see so many, but don't know who they are.

Haboob 02-05-2015 12:35 PM

Oh yeah....

Cars & Coffee is this Saturday.

However, I'm again going to miss it, because they're offering me OT on Saturday. At first it was at 9:00a and I was going to go and leave early, but now they moved the start time up to 8:00a and it's not worth going out there for only an hour, if that.

I barely use these forums, but I wanted to see if I had run across two members from the other day.

I was travelling Westbound on the 101 (around 7th Street maybe) on Thursday at around 2:40-2:50 and I came across a red 370 and a black 370 (Nismo). I was driving a silver one.

I may still have them on my dash-cam if I didn't record over it already, lol.

NickTurnon 02-12-2015 11:12 AM

I was driving down the 51 last night around 6:30 and saw another 09 silver 370z - We need to get some Z's together!

brutusvk 02-12-2015 01:29 PM

I have been to a few car shows lately. Haven't seen many 370z's.

Xerodx 03-02-2015 06:41 PM

Hey guys, I just got Swift spec-r springs and was wondering if you AZ guys would know a good shop to get them installed at for a good price. All the estimates i'm getting are around $550 :shakes head: ! and I paid $300 for springs!
Thanks

You can try Chris at rev'em hard motorsports. He did some work for me and was very reasonable.

trustr888 03-04-2015 01:40 AM

Speaking of Nismos, I happened to run into a 15 Black Nismo at the Chevron off mcqueen rd and pecos rd.
