Hey, does anyone have hookups for a hotel?

I'm looking to come out for SEMA, but $200+/night... I could pay for someone's mortgage!

Hotrodz 06-22-2016 12:43 PM

Vegas is stupid during trade show weekends even the bad hotels demand high prices. Try Henderson or Boulder City, it's a 30 minute drive but they may have better prices.

Aliante up in the Northwest usually has good prices, its also a 30 min drive but I think its worth it unless you want to be physically on the strip.

Hey Everyone!

I bought an amuse kit last month and it should be arriving closer to the end of the year from what I'm expecting.

Does anyone know any reputable shops in the area, or even outside of vegas, that you would trust with this kind of work? Any shops I should try to avoid?

Any input is highly valuable! Thanks guys!

James10694 08-16-2016 03:24 PM

If you bought a replica kit you're going to have to find a good body ship that can fit your kit. I don't know any shops that are good around here, just keep looking around.

Hotrodz 08-16-2016 04:10 PM

There is a body shop that is associated with Elite Audio that does some pretty cool high end stuff. I can't remember the name of the shop but you can call Elite Audio and ask.

James10694 08-18-2016 03:28 PM

Welcome! We don't do any meet ups specifically through the forum, but sometimes the local guys will pull a meet together. I'll post in here if we have any meets in the future

It's the real authentic kit. I didn't want to take it to any 'untrusted' body-shops that people may know about. I know real kits aren't supposed to have as much work done to them, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try to get into contact with them to see what they know.

If anything comes to mind, please feel free. I appreciate both of your guys' help!

James10694 08-20-2016 03:42 PM

Just don't go to samurai motors they only do paint. I take my car to jim marsh body shop cuz its close and Ive only asked them for paint work. They only do dealership cars really so I don't expect them to do aftermarket work.

RJ89 08-21-2016 02:42 AM

Thanks for the tip!

James10694 09-11-2016 09:23 PM

Anyone local looking to buy wheels? I'm selling my F14s.

If anyone has an instagram of their z, I'd love to follow :) mine is @ecchitan. I don't know any locals with a z.

IllusTwo3 12-10-2016 07:32 PM

Anyone running test pipes in Vegas and passing emissions? Or is it just worth buying HFCs.

Anyone here have any aftermarket body work done locally yet??

BlackCherry Z 01-11-2017 10:09 AM

Here in Las Vegas
 
Hi everybody. I also live here in Las Vegas in the Summerlin area. I got my Z here at a dealership in Vegas. I've bought 2 pre-owned Z's in town over the years from 2 different dealerships & both were deceptive hiding the facts of both vehicles. BUT.... With some work, the cars turned out to perform excellent though. I guess the real question is are dealerships in general kind of shady? It sure feels like that living out here in with my limited experience buying used from Dealers. Most of my purchases over the years when buying "Used" was from private parties.

Anyways, I Love the Z and wanted to say Hi to the Vegas owners.:tup:

James10694 01-11-2017 07:12 PM

Yes and yes and they're also incapable in las vegas. I took my Z into the centennial Nissan for an oil change. The next day I drove 30 mins to the strip for a car meet and I notice smoke escaping from my hood. I find out I'm 1 quart low and the drain bolt plug wasn't tightened all the way.

Knowing the dealerships can't even handle an oil change, I have never brought mine back. Absolute clowns.

James10694 02-01-2017 03:26 AM

Vegas car scene is pitiful

Infamous 02-07-2017 11:13 AM

Hi guys. Saw 2 of you on rainbow and warm springs the other day. A white one and a yellow. I believe both had amuse kits.

Im in Henderson area. There are a lot of Z's in Vegas but its really hard to get people together for some reason.

James10694 02-07-2017 10:17 PM

Ya and I'm deployed again so I won't be around till may. More money for parts :D

BlackCherry Z 03-25-2017 06:59 PM

Dealership helped in Las vegas
 
Just wanted to say that I got my paddle shifters installed into my Base 16 Z today at United Nissan for a one hour labor rate. All went perfect and I provided all the parts except the mounting screws. I checked at Planet Nissan & they refused the job. Just thought the guys in Vegas might have some interest to know of a Dealership that will cooperate with some special requests. I did have all Factory parts though so I really don't know their limits for doing "add-on's" though.:tup:

James10694 03-26-2017 06:30 AM

Don't go to the dealership. Problem solved

JENZ 03-27-2017 04:45 PM

Hello strangers!!!!!!! No I don't have a 370z again - just wanted to take a moment to put it out there that I have a pretty sweet pair of Corbeau GTS II seats that I had custom upholstered for sale. You can see them in my insta which is @dawdlingcupcake - they are red/black leather with white stitching. I paid over $2k to get the pair plus have custom upholstery done - would be willing to let them go much cheaper.

Hotrodz 03-27-2017 06:48 PM

What's up Jenz? How Mr. Ryan? We three amigos need to get together sometime soon. My car is even more bad *** than before lol!

If any of you local folks are interested in these - I will give you a special price - which is a significant loss to me:

JenJen @dawdlingcupcake #forsale locally only in #lasvegas this is for a pair of #Corbeau #gtsii #aftermarketseats that have been customized with a shaved seat base and #corvette #redleather #blackleather and #whitestitching hit me up if you are inte

They are Corbeau GTS II seats that have been custom upholstered in real Corvette red leather - black leather - white stitching - shaved seat base. This is a pair. I paid $1100 just for the seats and another $1000 for upholstery. Willing to part with them for around $1700. That's a $400 loss to me which I am willing to eat if they go to a good home and not just some random off Craigslist.

I don't get updates when there are messages on this forum so if you are interested contact me through instagram @dawdlingcupcake or email ta2dtart@aol.com

Infamous 04-07-2017 09:15 PM

I'm still alive. Just been busy with work and traveling. Hopefully we can all get together sometime soon. I'll check my schedule for the 15th. I'm not sure what days I'll be working. Z is in the process of going e85/flex and other changes. Anything new on your cars?

My MINI became Ryan's. I have an ND Miata now. Unfortunately it has alpha model problems and has been at the stealership awaiting parts while I am in a loaner mom-car. In the mean-time parts are amassing in my living room for the car lol.

Plan on the 15th is Hobak Korean BBQ on Spring Mountain at 8pm and the Fast Lap after. Just let me know in advance if you are going.

SS_Firehawk 04-07-2017 09:32 PM

I can't go next weekend :(

I'm on a work project and had to cut my trip short.
