Hello 350z community, I am a student at santa clara university and i have a 2003 daytona blue 350z. I just wanted to say hello and find out if there are any other z owners in the santa clara/san jose area. Here's a pic of my car (sorry I only have a crappy cell phone pic)
Looking forward to meeting everyone

You're in good company as most of the NorCal members here happen to be in the South Bay.

How was the tuning scene in Hawaii for the 350Z? You have two of the best 350Z tuning shops in the country here in the Bay Area. Scott Performance and ZCARGARAGE. One right there in Santa Clara (SP) and ZCar in San Jose. You came to the right place if you want to do some serious modding- Although our lovely state provides us with the most ridiculous of prices. I guess you know about that coming from Hawaii
I will go to Hawaii for the first time in October..Kauai actually.

However reconstruction permits were required when doing things like lowering your car. I brought my car here knowing that I could do some serious modding. I am planning to get some work done on the car and bring it back to hawaii for show. I'm kind of disappointed that california has high prices on parts and labor. I would think that it would be better than hawaii since there are much fewer shops in hawaii. You will like Kauai if u like the more landscape type places.
(especially in the Bay Area) is stuiped expensive as well. I don't live in the Bay ....only visit
