When i entered the code at registration, it knew who i was, i.e. the code is tied to a particular person. I don't see how somebody else could have used my code if i wanted to sell it.

So its been a week since I emailed them about the error/ issues with my registration....I haven't heard back from them...

When I log in, all it says is my name, email and guest name, thats it.

Also, I tried finding out what my car needs to be able to go on their track, but their FAQ section is very vague, since my car is stock with street tires will I have any issues? What should I have done? (besides a dealer check)

Thanks

I'm having issues getting a hold of them as well. I never got the paperwork for a dealer check up, they forgot to attach it in the email they sent me. I don't see why street tires would be an issue.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it in the FAQs. The FAQs wouldn't load for me until just now, though, so at least they got that working.

I wonder if I can resolve this by calling a nissan dealer....???
Yeah I saw that there. But personally I wont be going to a stealership for these checks.

1. I swapped my Trans fluid 1 month ago (amsoil)
2. Swapped the diff fluid ( Amsoil)
3. Did an oil change (amsoil + K&n filter)
4. My rotors have a lip on the outermost part of the rotor diameter ( thinking about ordering R1 rotors and new front pads to start fresh)
5. I have a brand new set of Hawk pads for the back waiting to be installed.
6. My Motivos have 10/32 rear and 9/32 in the front (thanks handy tire gauge from my old job)

I hope they dont "insist" on having a dealer check these things since ( in my case) I have checked these myself in my garage.

Edit: Nevermind it seems its only a suggestion, the track techs will check anyway.

I did the same, everything is perfect on mine and I'm thinking about getting track pads just for the event as well. I may just sign the form myself and fill in a name from the dealership... They won't know every employee there. The only thing I need to figure out is if I want to put brand new tires on for this event or waste mine because I'm only at 3/32nds. I really should put new ones on... Better yet, I should get a spare set of wheels and put r-comps on them and find a way to bring them with.

Yeah I would put the new ones on, or buy a set that you can rip at the track. I also have a set that has about the same as yours in the garage but no wheels for em (18s). They are my emergency tires if needed.

Unless you have another car going with you, one might be able to rent a small moving trailer( like to move a fridge) and tow it to homestead (if you dont mind installing a hitch). Or some people just tow the Z and throw the tires in the truck.

I am not holding my breath for NismoA to get back to be before this event occurs but here's hoping. Meanwhile I need to clean the back of the engine/ trans to see if the car is still leaking little drops of oil on the shield I fabbed for the starter to protect it from leaking oil.

I don't think the track driving is going to be too crazy. From the other write-up about the event they had previously, they focus more on driving lines and stuff like that than reaching the limit of your car.

I went to the Homestead event (drove from Greenville, SC), and it was amazing.

I was lucky enough to be on the group/team that won overall in the Jeopardy game, and all of us won GoPro White Editions with the suction cup mount.

Everyone that went got a high quality backpack (worth 70-80 I think), with Nismo stitched on the front. Meant to carry laptops and such (large pouch has 2 sections to velco your laptop/large tablets down). The best part of the day was driving your/their car on the track at very high speeds, obviously. I had never driven a GT-R before this, and made me get big eyes when the turbo kicked in.

Needless to say, it was a fun experience, and if they invite me next year, I'll be going again.

This guy speaks the truth! My team won jeopardy. As well and we all took home GoPros. We had 4000 points! Wooo. I also won a pair of sunglasses that I'm thinking about selling here on the forums.
