Thanks to Rob, Megan and the entire crew at Z Car Garage. What a great day despite the gloomy weather. Great people, great food and lots of Dyno pulls!

Agreed, what a good time it was there today. Only problem is going there is worse than Cosco, always leave with a lot less money....(suspension mods on the way now).

Glad to have a shop I can totally trust, great people there.

It was great meeting some people out there today. I was happy with my results, 253hp and 241tq if I recall correctly. I'm curious to see what it does on the Dyno with OEM cats?

I'll have some video and photos to post later, though might be a tomorrow or Monday as I don't have internet at the new house yet, just using my tethered phone for now.

Cool

Yes, nice picks...hmmm Nismo, I wonder who's that is... :-)
8:20am - 3:45pm and was a great fun day all day, had to leave to get back to Salinas at a decent time. We "5 cars" as we call the "My831Z" group headed back down south for home. Great Day and ready for next year already. Always good to see everybody. "Jessie the Cook" on the grill
Nice meeting you Steve, outstanding 300ZX.

What an awesome day. Great people, fantastic cars, and the weather cleared up around 3pm for the final few dyno pulls. Sorry I missed you, Christoc! We go there at 1, and stayed until the end.

From 9-4:30, I had a great time. Warren, it was nice to catch up with you. Saw some nice numbers being pulled yesterday. The last dyno of the day was worth waiting for, the exhaust made my eyes burn a little

Thanks! At least the exhaust is quieter than most 350s with aftermarket exhausts! I know my 300 is way quieter than my MotorDyne single megaphone exhaust!

Just did a quick youtube search and found this vid from yesterday. I think I see you in there!

I'm not sure which pull this was, but my last pull was 558rwhp/513rwtq at 22psi.

Look like a great turn out, except for the gloomy weather. Man, i miss all the Z's in action on the dyno. Oh well, there will be other event at Z Car Garage for sure.

Can the owner of the leman sunet Zs with nismo wheel sent me a pm. Just want to make some friends thats all.
