Maybe I have no taste, but stock looks better than the silver one. The sides skirts don't look like they belong.

Black one is nice though.

 

Can I please find out where exactly in Jersey this shop is...I'm about to buy a Z and my family owns a restaurant in Trenton...Let me know where this place is...Thanks guys, Dom

 

 

We've finalized details of our meet. Below is a link of the thread I started with all the details.

https://my350z.com/forum/showthreadi...threadid=29853

Hope you and your friends can make it. We already have some NY and NJ members that have told us they would be coming. Hopefully a caravan can be started.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

 

Hey Dom,

The shop is in Bergenfield, NJ. Up in northern nj. If you have any questions or anything just let me know. The owner is a good friend of mine.

WOW....as much as I don't really care for that Veilside Kit--DAmn it looks Good right there! I don't think I would have the ***** to do that kit!!!,but, LOOKS KILLER
I think its the Black w/ Gun'ish wheels,..it kinda blurs the lines of the kit makin it look better--on white that kit would show all the lines and probably look like ****!??

NICE PIC'S!
You've made me say "ta hell w/ the NIssan "Burger" on my Nismo kit--They are def shavin it Thursday!

 

Wasn't a fan of the Veilside kit...until now! Very sharp looking.


Please please please make sure you guys come to the meet.

 

quick question--Why is the Z called the Fairlady in Japan?

 

We'll do our best to make it up to that meet. Btw.. how far is it from NYC? Oh and my Z has another addition to be added today.. Volk Gt-7s! I can't wait I'll post pics as soon as it's completed..

-Mike

 

Mike, the GT-7's will look awesome on your car especially with the Nismo kit. I would love to see it in person. themyst from NY has a Redline with the Nismo replica and TE-37's and his car looks sweet also.

There is a caravan being organized by the NY members and don't know if you want to join them. I will ask them to PM you once they've decided where they will meet. Also, I would like to arrange a stop at Exit 22 on 95 North in Connecticut as there will be a member there that wants to cruise up with everybody.

To answer your question, from NYC it should take less than 1-1/2 hours to get to the park. I am originally from NJ and it would take me about 2 hours from Elizabeth. Hope this helps.

Let me know if we can add you to our list as we need to give a list to Lime Rock so that they can set aside a parking area for our cars.

Thanks.

 

The question you should be asking is, why is the Fairlady called the Z in the US? Anybody with an interest in JDM car names knows that the Japanese have some odd ideas when it comes to naming cars. I don't know if there's any specific history behind "Fairlady," but that's what it's called in Japan. When the original 240 was imported to the US, Mr. K wisely realized that no self respecting American would buy an import sports car with what would undoubtable be considered a wussy name. I mean, compare "Fairlady" to "Mustang" or "Corvette." So, the name got alphanumericized into 240Z and a legend was born.

As time has gone by and attitudes changed, the Fairlady name has become more recognized and popular in the US.

 

Ok, here are a couple other pics from a few days ago.. unfortunately the weather has been crappy so i haven't been able to take many pictures of the rims yet.

Enjoy!

Gotta say those GT-7's look sweet. Great choice. If I had seen these rims on a car before I ordered the iForged's they would've been my first choice.

 

Hey SirMikel!!! I know exactly where your shop is in Bergenfield...I have seen Z's parked in that area, but I never knew that was a motorsports shop (should be paying attention a little bit more ). Can you tell me the hours and do you specialze only in Z's or other model Nissans???
