you guys having a meet anytime soon?

Yeah, I'd like to go as well..

travis and I were trying to get folks together, didn't really get much interest http://cache.hyves-static.net/images...iley_shrug.gif

My only problem is no Z yet =(

That's ok, we can all drool over travis'
His Z makes mine look redonkulous.

O.K. Guys...

I talked with Rick at Power Nissan in Chandler. He stated that Power WOULD NOT void an entire warrenty due to aftermarket parts (CAI, Exhuast, suspension bits, etc). The aftermarket part itself is not covered by warranty (naturally). He did state the typical: If it can be proved the aftermarket part caused a larger problem, that could negate a larger portion of your warranty. He also went on to add that they WILL install aftermarket parts if we like. I did not ask about the big stuff like turbos or superchargers....

All and all, he seemed like a great guy!! I plan to use them for service/warranty related work. Rick's number is 480.467.4347!

BTW - They have a blue Z on the showroom floor now if anyone wants it!!

Interesting... too bad I'm looking at a black one they have at Earnhardt =)

should have a meet on the 27th. ill be down there for vacation

Well if not everyone shows up in a Z maybe it won't be so bad if I show up in my tC lol.

its the thought that counts :)

True... I mean, you guys know I'm a Z enthusiast, and want one, and am planning to buy one... that should get me some points somewhere lol.

BTW - I hope to have info on a few more mod frindly dealers for yall. Stand by....

FYI all, I will be running at Phoenix Intl Raceway all weekend with NASA DE4... feel free to stop by and say hello, or better yet sign up and drive !

Hey guys. I'm Chris and I work @ Element Motorsport in Tempe. Just signed up on this forum recently as a vendor and wanted to say hello to the AZ guys. We do mostly wheels & tires here but can get just about any performance parts too. If you guys ever need anything feel free to send me a PM and I'll do the best I can for ya. Especially if you need tires, rims or already have nice wheels that you don't want the avg discount tire touching, hit me up :tup:

I've owned a 350z for just about a year now. Before that I had a 240sx pushing 400whp. I've been a Nissan fan for quite some time. I am thinking about possibly picking up the 370z but I am not certain yet. Part of me wants to get a larger sedan (03-06 e55 amg supercharged or IS350) but the other part of me wants to stick with Nissan and upgrade to the 370z. I have no kids or anything so I really don't need the room technically, lol.

I also live in Laveen (43rd ave & Southern area) and commute down Baseline every day. So if you see a slammed Daytona Blue 350z with super aggressive Work wheels and single exit exhaust, that be me :driving:

Hey Me,

I had a question about Tenzo, since you carry them, what is your opinion of them if you have one? I personally think they look pretty awesome myself, and they are different from most people who are all buying Volks and such, I've heard some comments about Tenzo not being that good. Your thoughts?

Signed

You

lol

pleased to meet you sir

lol.

To be completely honest, they are great wheels. The quality is excellent and I've never had any probs with them. Over the years we've sold TONS of Tenzo wheels and have many happy customers.

There will always be people hating on the cheaper brands claiming they bend or break or whatever but that can happen to ANY wheel when you hit something hard enough.

Element! I THINK I HAVE SEEN YOU around the Laveen area!! I have a blue RX8 with all the MazdaSpeed aero! Cool man.... Good to meet you!

Travis.. I may take you up on that and come out to watch!! One of my brother in laws may be there anyway...

My only question is do you happen to have hidden in your stockpile somewhere a set of Gloss Black 18" Tenzo Passion 5's 5x100mm??

Yes sir, I recall seeing you recently at 35th and Baseline in the morning. I was stopped at the light heading east on Baseline and you were on 35th turning onto Baseline heading west if I remember correctly.

Sorry bro but I've been sold out of Passion 5's for a while. That wheel is discontinued now. But lemme know if there is another wheel you might be interested in...

id be down

I'd be down for a meet even though I just have a 350 not a 370.

I go to the pavs every once and while when its not crazy hot outside. I am usually up there with a bunch of friends that mostly drive VIP style Lexus. I'm the odd ball of the group lol.

Indeed, I'm up for hanging out when it's not crazy hot.

YEP! I remember that!! I will honk next time.

I would be down to meet with everyone but, not to be a party pooper, I really have WAY too much going on right now. Maybe in December or January I will be a bit slower and could meet.

You guys did my old roomates wheels.
we lived down in 51st and baseline

sorry havnet updated my info in a while. im back stateside. i was in tall afar. im in tucson now. no Z for me yet either. =(

Spec Jay.. where are you now??

in washington. gonna be taking a vacation back down there in the next comming weeks tho

cool..

I can vouch for CHis down at Element - they did my wheels on my M

Chis - if you want the VIP and the Sedan plus staying with nissan - the M35/45 should be in your future.

I know mine isn't anywhere near VIP - actually the opposite really but here's a pic from their site - oh - check out the Akebono's from the 370z chillin!

Thanks Ken! How's the M doing?

I will probably end up keeping the 350 for a bit longer. I think I'm gonna try to buy a house while they are dirt cheap right now. A new car can wait, I already have a decent one to get by with :)

I just need to start modding the Z again. I get bored and lose interest when I go 3-4 months without doing something new to it, lol.

I have a Mastergrade CF rear diffuser thats been sitting in my garage for like 4 months that I need to install but I've kinda been waiting to find a front lip that I like. Plus I have to lose my single exit exhaust and go back to a stock looking dual to clear the diffuser w/o cutting it up.

Chris

Chris, welcome to the board!

All, another idea for the meet... maybe schedule it around the upcoming NASA / BMW club racing event at PIR on 3-4 October... could do a drive from that point and go explore west, and maybe spend a couple hours at the track watching racing, time trialing, drifting etc... and here's link to the registration discussion if you want to drive your car at the track... instructors are free October 3-4 w/ BMWCCA @ Phoenix International Raceway - NASA AZ

Thanks Travis!

Glad to be here :tup:

The M is doing awesome - just got done with the UpRev tuning and it went from 252rwhp to 290rwhp - 38 hp gain is not bad :happydance:

Anyway - all else is good too, just need to get some time to pull the calipers to get them powdercoated but that can wait - no rush.

But you sir - need to get Moddin sounds like!

FINALLY! My car is mine again! Now to just do a bumper swap, and get the exhaust fixed at IM when they can, and trade in time for my Z.

details for the up and coming...repost from Tages email.
Registration for the October event at PIR (Oct 2rd & 3rd) is now open!

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/910

Please note that this is a BMWCCA event and they are sharing this event with them. Remember, we are THEIR guests!

Here are the key things to be aware of for this event:

#1 - Since this is BMW CCA's event, they will host their driving "school" (equal to our HPDE1 & HPDE2) so *NASA* will not have these groups as options. To register for the beginner "HPDE type" groups, go here --> MotorsportReg.com : BMW CCA - Roadrunner Chapter announces 3rd Annual **** Good Driving School & Club Race (Sat 3 - Sun 4 Oct, 2009) info at Phoenix Int'l Raceway, Avondale, AZ 85323 (5096)

#2 - Since about half of the schedule is BMW CCA exclusive, there's not enough room for NASA to have all groups available. Combining of HPDE3 & HPDE4 is very likely. We will have to combine groups and/or turn off registration early for some groups to ensure they are not oversold so the moral of the story is do not wait to register!

#3 - We are very close to this next event already and we expect all of the NASA groups to fill up very quickly. Early bird pre-registration discounts will only apply until this weekend

#4 - For Racers that are running in the BMWCCA races, there is a "SupersizePT/ST/SU" option to run the NASA race as well. Only $100 will buy you an entry into the NASA race to double your track time and fun! NOTE: This rate will only apply if you are currently registered and run in the BMWCCA Race.

#5 - If you're a racer feeling a little left out this past Summer, here's your chance to *feel the love*. For this event there will be a "SupersizeTT" registration option. If your are a NASA racer looking for additional seat time and another shot at some contingency, for only $100 you can run Time Trial both days in addition to the race group! NOTE: This rate will only apply if you are already registered and run the NASA race.

#6 - It will be a lot cooler at this event vs the Sept event so don't wait until the last minute and get left out in the *cold*. :-)

Thank you for your continued support of NASA Arizona!

Wow, 38whp is a great gain from tuning! Thats awesome man, I bet the car feels way better :tup:

I will start modding soon enough....I actually want new rims already. Something less aggressive this time around, lol.

I don't think I'll participate in the NASA events - but I sure do want to go and check it out - maybe be an extra hand/wrench in the pits if needed.

Too much wear and tear on the car/brakes drivetrain. I wouldn't be too comfortable unless I had some additional coolers for the transmission and engine oil and possibly for the power steering as well.

That being said - I am really interested in trying out drifting - HA!

Hey guys, anyone know of a good shop on the West side of town? I would like to work with Intensepower, but I can't get to Chandler every day due to my work. So something on the east side would be awesome!
