Does this mean that you won't be offering ANY parts for the 370Z from your website?
Do I need to look elsewhere? ..... since my first preference is to support forum sponsors?

No not at all - if you (the community) wants it, we'll build it. But I cannot justify doing a run yet because there was seemingly next to 0 enthusiasm expressed either on this site, or on my350Z, where we made a similar announcement in the 370Z section. When a product we are interested in making receives almost no enthusiasm from the community, that tells me the community doesn't want it. Perhaps I am wrong, and I hope I am - but the future of it will be up to the community itself. I certainly don't have any need to shell out time, and resources only to be stuck looking at shelves full of parts that aren't selling. That's part of the reason we decided to suspend our sponsorship, because in the 3 months we were here, we netted 1 single sale, and that sale was for less than $100 worth of parts (gross). The ends need to justify the means, and when you can't even realize a profit from a very small net investment, especially relative to the time we spent addressing peoples questions (we had more posts in the tech sections than we had classified posts), then that gives us a message. My own personal take was that the site has far too many sponsors as it is, but far too few participants otherwise. But, that is a separate discussion
Any products we offer for the 370Z are always listed right on our website, and are generally announced on our blog as well.
