you may want to keep an eye on the marketplace too....although you may get killed in shipping. i've seen lots of people parting out z's lately. they want a freakin' small fortune for each part, but you may be able to get a hard to find part quicker.
you win for biggest winter build/upgrade, lol.

Seriously? Why you going to Toledo? Is the whole fam going or just you? Haha that kinda puts you closer to me lol.
Anyways, just wanted to share that after my next paycheck, the Z should be OFFICIALLY PAYED OFF!! That means she's MINE! AND I can turn-off the insurance in the winter without anybody saying anything (saves like $80 / month for like 6 months!).
Took me 2 yrs to pay off my loan (about 50% of the sale price). I actually could have done it a lot sooner if I used all the money I spent on mods lol (been keeping an excel file on how much I've spent)
So next step (no, not buy mods) is to payoff 1 of 2 mortgages I have on my place (which is rediculously high at 7.25%). Freakin out of the $100 I pay a month, $90 of it is interest..........
Woot!!!

Good plan Rob. When I purchased my house I had to take a 2nd mortgage - to be the 'larger' down payment... because what I had saved up was not enough. It was better to do that than PMI.
I paid that loan off with the quickness - and then got the Z. (or shortly after getting the Z I paid it off.. too long ago to remember)
Anyways. Congrats. The break on that insurance bill is a nice consequence of winter storage.

Congrats Rob, I know that was roughly the timeframe you were shooting for.
Now pay off the second mortgage, those intrest rates are a bit higher.
We had to do the same, and paid ours off STAT as well man...
Again congrats once thats done...Let the frenzy begin

Oh nice, I actually hung out with another member from Toledo today, And we talked to the Nissan dealer in toledo today, And they said they would love to get a Z meet going on and we can get a raffle going for some nismo parts.
If any of you guys are interested we should start this up. Or we can do it in the spring?

Well I followed you Steve and stored my Z at the end of Oct. as well.
Sucks cuz I wanted to drive it so bad the past few weeks.
Me on the other hand, 14 mpg in the 4Runner is not fun.
