im gonna make a OahuZ myspace.

myspace.com/oahuZ


im working on it right now. basiclly im using myspace because it is much easier than making a website. but pretty much on the site ill just put upcomming events, and members/pics. so if you guys got myspace just add it.

 

Another guy did the same thing about 2.5 years ago, just before he ended his whole stint trying to start a club. Omen??? Hope not.

 

i think we got a little more momentum. hopefully in the summer people will start turning out. when i was doing the list it was amazing to see how many z's there actually are on these boards that dont come out!

 

Yea we could do that. I think it would be better for the new guys coming out to first get to know us a little before they start to drive around with us. I know i would feel a little hesistant to go "cruising" with people i just met.

 

^^I agree. We should do more "get together's" then just meets. The last meet I went to was fun, but it was more aimed towards "who" might show up, then getting to know each other on a personal basis.

We should get together for hooters/zippy's night's (just a incentive to come out) and do that every other week. From reading other regions threads, "every week meets" are an overkill, people get sick of coming out.

From there we can move on to bigger and better things like round-island cruises and BBQ meets...I'm just thinking out loud

 

there are 22 people that frequent this board not even including nick and we only can get like 4-8 people to come out.

 

well we always meet at the same time, thursday nights, maybe it would be better for other people to meet at different times, i'll go make a poll and see what works best for people

 

i'm down for getting to know everyone and doin something like the BBQ. I think that would be fun

 

A lot more subie's on the island, and people just like the fact that the car is turbo'd already. Not too mention i've seen wrx's in the buyandsell for less than $12K already. I just think it's the price of the Z's, and the majority of the people that buy these cars aren't into these types of functions. Well, in hawaii... They say wrx is the best "bang for your buck" when it comes to performance.

My cousin has a wrx with a stage 5 Ultimate Racing kit (GT35R)and spent about $20K in the install, tuning, and misc sh*t. He dyno'd at 335 to the wheels. Joe just spent $3000 6psi procharger, $??? misc parts and tunig, and already hit 350 whp... god dammit!! Fricken Z's are awsome!

**Sorry, i don't know why i added this last paragraph. In fact, i don't why i'm writing anything... shoots, see u guys on friday. (buzzing little bit)

 

Thanks bro...you keeep buzz'n. Yeah, maybe the price and the caliber of person who drive the Zs is a determining factor...if you noticed most Z guys are a little older and may have other things in life/family/work..etc. to do then just hang out. Case in point, if you noticed that when the G35 guys meet on their cruise's most of those guys aren't young kids and most of time have their wives or significant other with them. There are alot Z lovers who are older who buy the Z for its heritage not just cause it looks good and can get the girls, therefore having other priorities and not willing to hang out all night. That maybe on one reason also for poor attendance. Also, there are alot Zs on the Island but alot are not on the forum and don't even know or heard of the forum. That is another reason for poor turnout. Joe just spent $3000 6psi procharger, $??? misc parts and tunig, and already hit 350 whp... god dammit!! Fricken Z's are awsome! I spent well over a grand more in parts that didn't have anything to do with the procharger installation. Headers, spacers, test pipes etc. I wanted to do it right the first time and not keep adding things later. Because of the price of the procharger and install, I could afford the other things to make procharger do its job and perform better. Even with the 9psi pulley isn't that expensive to buy, just put on the pulleys, retune. Most likely get a upgraded fuel system with it that isn't expensive either. The whole setup and what I paid in parts and tune was a good deal.....now that bang for the buck

 

if you guys are doin sumptin after 1030 hit me up...

 

so is this still going down at stadium jamba at 7:30? kind of stopped seeing a list of people forming after me putting my name on the thread. Let me know so i can make the plans

 

yes it is still going down. It will be cool to see some z's out.

 

I'm going to try and be at Starbucks at 8pm.

 

+1
I guess I'm one of those, I always wanted a Z ever since my neighbor had a 240z sitting in there garage...then the 300zx in middle school came out in TT! I Finally got my Fairlady! but yeah hard to hang out with family business to run, wife, mortgage....It took me a year just to save up to buy my kit I wish I could stay out all night to just cruise the island or have a poker run around the island...that would be fun!

 

have fun guys..

 

Would you guys rather meet up at Pearlridge zippys then roll out to stadium starbucks? LMK ill change it on the first page.

 

i think that would be a better idea. Meeting at Zippy. its open and people can see from the street, and if a Z just happens to drive by, they might turn around and stop.

 

i'll try to make it.... gotta finish my assignment for work tho.. lotta big clients and i'm the only in house software developer.. grrrrrrr!

 

woah you're actually making it out to one haha. too bad you picked the one where i'm too sick to go.
