Monsieur Ghosn is not returning my e-mails. What can I do? We need money. I've sent e-mails to C&D, R&T, Speed Channel, and as stated, the CEO of Nissan USA. The airport is willing. The ZdayZ organizers are also very supportive. We need money and someone with time to organize this. I have little to no time - trying to get someone to bite and then hand this off. It's a great opportunity for an organization that wants to make a splash in the Z/G community. If someone here (Mike?) wants to carry this forward, I can forward all the contact info, but the torch of responsibility will be passed on, permanently.

EDIT: I should add that it took 2 mos to get a reply from the airport and then they were enthusiastic. It might take just as long for the other e-mails to make it through the quagmire of people in each of those organizations.

Well if you have all 6 cylinders firing and tight boost couplers on the piping, I might have a harder time this go around I suppose. Oh yeah, and the new turbos, oh yeah and the new METH injection - lol

My car is back at FP, gettin a little something though... The only thing I'll disclose is I'm taking my cats off for sure. You did know I was running cats last year right? And like 420 whp at 12 psi. lol. We'll see what happens this time around on C16.

5AT vs. 6MT
950bb vs. 850bb
Haltech vs. FCON
MD vs. APS
C16 vs. METH (or Aquamist vs. Snow )
oh yeah, with a 3000 ft runway, Rotora vs. StopTech

Mike... Mike... Mike... If it happens at Forged, you know what I ask Sharif to tell you. He better not be playing both sides - somehow I think he comes out on top of all this.

Dont even try it Plus the only way I would be worried from 60-180+ is if you told me you are doing a AT to MT swap...and that was my first recon question

In that case I will get a good look at the front of your G before we run, cause I'm pretty sure I will get a good look at the back during it.
