G35 driver here. Bought a new Lakeshore Slate 2006 G35 sedan late August. My previous car was a 2001 VW Jetta (quite a move up). I am mostly on g35driver.com, but I lurk on these forums as well.

 

2005 350z new owner here, been driving an Evo8 just got the Z recently. I just put some mods on the Z, injen intake, tanabe springs and tanabe g concept exhaust. The exhaust is loud as heck. . . or maybe i'm a wuss. Anyhow, I'm in Sac, any meets around here, want some opinions from other members to see if my exhaust is normal sounding???

thanks,
nebo

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your Z. How's the Z compared to your evo? you still have the evo? I"m in SF area. I would like to do somekind of meet again. That would be sweet.

 

2 different cars, the Evo kicks in a bit violently when the turbo fully spools, the Z has a very smooth power band. When I first drove the Z, i thought it was lacking in power but it was because the power band was too smooth.

I like the Z a lot it is a nice ride and it's pretty fast. Also gets the chicks more!!!!!

Yeah if anyone is in the sacto/sf area, let me know when the meets are, I want to meet up with some of you. Need someone to check out my exhaust to see if its normal cause I think it is loud as hell.

Before you read anything else...

I am an idiot, and didn't bother to read the stickies (for christ sakes I was on another Z forum earlier and I was recruited that all the NorCal people were here... so you know, kinda gave up on the stickies).

Just picked up a 2004 royal blue base, from up at Boardwalk Nissan. I got them to take the 18s off another one (touring?) and put them on mine, along with fresh rubber.

First thing is first, I need Xexon/HIDs, preferably in illegal color tempature...

Suggestions?

Dude... I moved here from NYC too... You wont be disappointed (well, maybe with the cost of living)... Welcome to the board ...

 

Im in V-Town too... Welcome... Hope to see you around...

 

You ever roll up to DPA (58ish) off the LIE? Deer Park Ave, best street racing in the east... few hundred cars a night and the cops don't care.

Mmmm


So let me ask you this, where can I get some REAL pizza out here? Not this west coast ***** **** they call pizza, but I want some down *** thing crust NY style pizza, the way it is suppost to be, dripping with some grease, and olive oil residue?

 

1. Pizza My Heart (Santa Cruz)
2. Village Pizzeria (San Francisco)
3. Amici's East Coast Pizza (Few locations in the Bay)
4. Arinell's Pizza (Few locations in the Bay)

BTW...welcome.

 

you know, I have had pizza my heart in Palo alto and San Mateo, and it still is a sad excuse for pizza. I have heard from a few people Amici's is decent I will have to hent one down.

 

North Beach Pizza in San Mateo
Blondes in Berkeley

 

I don't care where you go in the US, Pizza is like accents, everywhere else but where you came from sounds (taste) funny and has an odd texture.

I still have not found a penne arrabiata in NorCal I can even call Italian.

Chris

 

I wish I could find a good italian place, that is like the family places back in NYC, great cheap food, the taquairra of the east coast.

If any of you try to tell me bookada beepo...

 

or worse, the freakin' Olive Garden... and people stand in line to get in, for crying out loud!

By the way, the Avocado thing, I get the same issue whenever I am in Tampa only its ham. Eating some dish and under the Gravy / sauce / mashed potato / rice / whatever there seems to be a slice of ham. wtf?

Chris

 

*in cartman voice* Isss it hammm?


I knew it, it's ham isn't it.



And what is with this no smoking inside bull****, I wanna drink my beer, look at a stripper's tang, and smoke a Marlboro. This is a crock of crap.

 

I have been here since late 01 and sadly you will never find the pizza that you are looking for... I have tired and failed... People still ask me why I "fold" my pizza and I tell them "this is the right way to do it" - you cant go wasting the olive oil and other toppings ...

 

Word, if it ain't got a limp after you fold it, it ain't good pizza.

 

i uhm... don't drive a Z or anything.. just dropped here to look at acree's led work and to tell everyone here i do led work.. and then if anyone needs anything.. hit me up?
