I went to Valley Hi Nissan for a service job for my family car (06' Altima SE) and was pleased with the service. My first trip there for car services and I must say, pretty good impression......so far that is.....

 

No effing way. I hate the nissan STEALERSHIP here. It blows, they try SO hard to F you about warranty and what not. Its ridiculous. I have MANY stories about that place with my Z and my roomates Z



I think you got lucky bro

 

F* that dealership! they wont even TOUCH my Z its too "technical" for them!

 

There's a new senior management team at Valley-High Nissan. They're working hard to change the image. Of course it won't happen overnight.

Got the wife a new Altima 35SL from them at Christmas time. It's the first new car I've bought that was totally prepped... unlike my G35 when I bought it.

So far I'm real happy with them as is the wife.

 

I didn't know you guys got an Altima! Cool... how do you two like it?... I was impressed in 04 when I test drove one...

 

now you guys can race them, wonder which one will win, j/k

 

Getting the wife out of Hondas was a trick. The improved acceleration, handling and braking actually scared her at first. That's what she said.

As for comparing the performace of her 3.5 Altima SE against my old Type 1 G35 with mods that don't work ... well you already know the results.


FYI Mike. You wondered what would happen if the TBS was installed backwards. I tested it for about 500 miles. Suprisingly the bottom end power remained basically the same. The mid-range and upper end suffered. The gas mileage took a hit by about 4-5 MPG. Changed it back and drove 125 highway miles to Riverside and back at 75-85 MPH--got 25.78 MPG. Then I drove 250 miles to El Centro--50 stop & go--with the A/C on at 80-85 and got 24.81 MPG. I'm happy with the ECM's closed loop operation.

The Altima got 23.7 MPG average on the break in loop to Phoenix and back. Not bad for for a new car.

 

maybe we'll see her in that speedster at the next track day?

 

DAVE you say OLD TYPE 1 G35Sedan like it looks like its old you cant tell its even 3 weeks old the way you keep that damn thing sparkling clean!

 

Anyone here going to the Greddy Garage sale? if so pm me and hopefully we can work something out for a meet up drive down there together!

 

^Got your PM, sent you one back.....your must be out of the shop already?

 

been outta the shop bro just adding some finishing touches ;-)

 

350z sighting.....I'm not sure if this Z owner lives up in the HD, but when I was coming home today going south (I15) and exiting Main Street, this black Z passed me with some wide 19" wheels. I didn't get a close look at it since I was turning into my street after crossing the over pass. Just wondering if you guys know this Z owner of if he's on this forum.

 

when and where i was on the 15 yesterday

 

Might have been my roommates Z. He has a blacked out Z with 19 inch Black RH's

 

^ I saw it again when I was on Amargosa, heading towards the ramp to get on the i15 south. He was coming off of Bear Valley. Nice car!

 

I was cruising with a black ferrari 360 modena on the way home from west covina on the 15. He did a flyby onto the 210 to 15 off-ramp. That thing sounded amazing!!! So wide and sexy... Anyways, just thought I would brag Looked like he was heading for vegas. oh and I almost forgot. I also seen an aston martin convertible just before I got on to bear valley road.

 

Who drives a solar orange Z around victorville?

Saw it near club Karma Friday night

 

There is a guy that drives an Aston Martin in Victorville. Its silver, and GOD is it beautiful. I see him once or twice a week.

Lucky Fella

 

Have you ever came down cruising in barstow? I though I saw your Z couple months back rolling around on main street in the middle of the night
