Looks like a possibility that it will be done raining in the AM. I might be able to do Starbucks.

Hey, just got my 7,500 mi. oil change at the stealership today. I had them put Nitrogen in my tires. They have a cool machine that hooks up to all four tires and does all of them together (deflates one, then fills, deflates the other, fills and so on...). Then they put these cool anodized green caps on that say "Nitrogen". Interestingly the ride seems a bit smoother now?? Maybe it's my imagination???

Don't think I'm going to make it to Starbucks... I think I've cracked one of my test pipes or Y-pipe. I won't until I can get under the car on Friday. I'm really pissed off about it, but I guess I brought it upon myself, man it sounds like crap. I'm thinking about just disconnecting the exhaust. Maybe I'll get lucky and find myself beside a harley...

Hey, welcome. TL's are welcome (my wife drives one). I don't even have a Z any longer and may not even have the G35C much longer if the GTR is sold/serviced locally.

Where bouts in Richmond are you living?

Haha thanks! I'm actually in Midlothian so pretty close to Short Pump. Always down for meets! I haven't seen many Z's compared to Palm Beach where I used to live before. Saw a nice White one a couple weeks ago with gold rims and a wide body kit, I think.

Daam man, I am sure I have met you but I had you confused this entire time with NOWELL...dang I need to quit drinking, but you have the same car, color and hood I think....anyways... I was being sarcastic with you all along because I thought you were him, sorry, I hope you dont think I am douche bag..lol.

FYI GZILLA will more than likely be in Richmond this weekend (FRIDAY THE 11th)..starting about 9pm Friday night..are you all meeting up..if so where...I believe two locations have been mentioned thus far. What is the final verdict?

HOLY CRAP Pratt, I just looked at your for sale thread and you're selling that for 18k OBO!!!!! Damn, if I hadn't bought my Z before seeing your sale I'd be all over this!! Think of the money I coulda saved. I buy my car for a little over 30k, then plow thousands more into it and STILL your car would blow my doors off!

LOL nowell has a MUCH cooler car than me but its cool, no harm done! We do have the same color and similar hoods. He had a CF hatch too but he sold it.

Live and learn eh Scott? LOL just kiddin man, you have an HR which I am highly jealous of. When they get the FI kits out for that the results are gonna be astounding.

Its cool though, someone will get a good deal, I have put at least $10k into the car (ok maybe -$1k for the bumper that doesn't get included) but there is a lot of time and care into that car.

The best part is I would be willing to go LOWER than 18K for the right person ESPECIALLY if it was someone on the forums, and even moreso if they lived in Richmond so I could still see it around every now and then.

The next buil.... I mean Z Will numb the pain of the loss every time I hit that gas pedal

Freaky, when I started reading the quote I felt a certain Dejavu.

I got it done at Victory Nissan on Broad St. in Richmond.
