Do you know which NISMO 350Z/FairladyZ it will be?

It'll be this one...

Nismo parts are on the way too, but just for the show.

Is the Autorama worth going to? What else will be there? Any ideas?

If you go to the Autorama website ( www.autorama.com ) you'll see some of the scheduled events for this week-end. In general, you can expect to see automobile enthusiasts and their cars. Many of these cars are show quality or unique.

The Z Club of Texas almost always has a display. This year they will have six Z's showing next to our display.

This may be a good venue for 350Z owners to meet. Hope to see you there.

If you love cars, Autorama is always worth going to. The Z Club of Texas will have a club display of six cars entered again, and will be shooting for our third consecutive 1st place in the club entry category! Come by and see us! Of course, those club members who signed up to volunteer work the club display will get in free!

PartsPeddler,

Please make sure you get lots of pics inside & outside the car. I am interested in the NISMO shift **** used in this car. I think it is this one. See link:

Thanks, Mark

We'll be sure to get some good images. Hopefully, someone from here (MY350Z) can get some, too.

We are good at filling orders, but I am not sure how well we will do with a camera.

The sound of the car is only marginally more "throaty' than a stock Z at the moderate revs heard while the car drove into the display area.

Most people were overheard to favorably comment on the bodywork styling & wing.

The car is always locked up during the show hours. One of the reps said that the interior was almost bone-stock. I will be back at Autorama today (Sunday) and will check on the configuration of the steering wheel and shift ****.

Default Nismo LM wheels

The most surprising thing to me about the S-tune was although I was very impressed with the style of how well the wheels filled/flushed out to the wheel wells, I was disappointed that they had to resort to using spacers to accomplish this.

Note also that the "o" in Nismo is gone on all four wheels from repeated washings!

Thanks ChinaClipper for all the pics! Get some of the interior if possible. I'd like to see what shifter they are using.

Great eye, Mike. Man, that is TOTALLY WEAK!!! Especially the part about the "O" in Nismo wearing off. BOOOO!!!

"So, not only are we going to overcharge you for wheels that don't even fit, when our overpriced logo wears off after approximately five washings, everyone will laugh and ask you where you got your Tenzos."

The interior looked pretty much stock to me. We tried to see if they would open the hood, but that was a no go. They said that they were not allowed to even touch the car, darn I would have liked to see what they had done under the hood. All and all the show was good. It's was pretty interesting to see the cross of American muscle and imports. Oh and the Texas Bikini team was also had a great display!
