Norcal Newbies (Introduce yourself here)!!
Hey guys, Im pretty new to the Z scene here..name is Travis and I own a 04 Performance in Super Black. I Bought it back in October and sold my s13, I couldnt be happier. Current mods are sportline springs, tokico shocks, hotchkis sways with powergrid links, spc a-arms and toe links, borla exhaust, and 06 tail lights. Stock wheels however 
Usually you will find me in the south bay/peninsula area on el camino or 280 north. If I give you a quick flick of my lights then its probably me.

New to the coast!
Hey everyone,
I just moved from Akron, OH area 2 weeks ago start my new job at Tesla in Palo Alto. A little background about me - just turned 25, born in Ireland, grew up mostly in England but have lived in several states (TN, GA, IL, IN, OH) and Toronto also. I had been working in the Tire & Vehicle Dynamics team at Bridgestone in OH for almost 3 years since graduating college. So far loving the area, the weather, the mountain roads and the cars!
I'm a Vehicle Test Engineer at Tesla so will be spending a lot of time travelling to various test tracks and such but if there's a meet when I'm in town I'd love to meet some new people. I was a very competitive autocrosser when I had my 03 Track in college, but have since got hooked on track days. I currently have an 07 Grand Touring, which is still stock except for track pads, Hoosier slicks and a trailer hitch.
Already met one guy at Tesla with a red 350... you on here Clay??
Anyway, look forward to meeting you all. If anyone in the area is up for getting a beer some night, shoot me a PM

As for shops, we have a good selection and even some members here that do work on the side. Z Car Garage out of San Jose or Chris ( cpapasmurf@aol.com ) out of Berkeley also does really good work.

What's up guys, just moved down to Livermore from Reno recently. There doesn't seem to be any Altima gigs out here but the Z/G crowd is strong. Mind if I tag along to some events? Show an Alti owner some love! Yes, it's modded.

Yes, Rob's at ZCarGarage.com. Check it out. He does a lot, I mean a lot of the work on the Z's, G's, GTR's, 240's, 280's, 300zx's, roadster's, and on. You won't be disappointed at all. He's top notch.

Hello everyone. New to the Z and the forums. Originally from Fremont and more recently just moved up from San Diego. Now I stay in Berkeley, CA. Got a 2004 Z recently cause I found a good price even though I never really drive. Came from the mustang community. My last stang was a Saleen. Here is my Z
