I actually emailed the event director and he said it's fine to enter the nismo Z

there was actually another member on here who entered his stock nismo into a few car shows and won best of show at one of them, and a peoples choice at another one. I just want to enter it because of it's rarity, not many people have actually seen one in person.

I agree.

If you don't end up making to some soon... We're going to find your address and hold a meet at your house.








Dave, you here?? Any word on your schedule openings?

What about Steve, you planning on coming back up here soon to get your sh*t packed?

Just little things that are drving me nuts.

Our old 04 did not drive as horribly as this one does. It didnt wobble and shake, it was just smooth.

I should have seriously inspected it more before i bought it, but the thought of getting an 05 under 20k was so mezmerizing i was blinded...

I feel so dumb. Seriously....

Im just going to save up, get this paid off, sell it and ride my bike for awhile. I have some big things comming up i have to pay for (tuition, books, ect)

I am sure there will be others, but it sounds like me and racer will be the only two I know of off the boards entering Z's... I have a good friend of mine entering his G35 though

You're talking about the boosted G35, right?


I'm not positive, but I might be able to come down. Dave should be back in the next few days, so I'll see if he's going so I can maybe sleep in his front yard or something.

They're not as enthusiastic as we are. We're OG.
