Some of you might know me from the other 350z site, but if not, I'm currently in Afghanistan. Just picked up 2010 #0218 Nismo a few days ago. As soon as I get home, I'll be looking forward to driving it and hopefully meeting some of you guys. We're pretty new to the area, so perhaps you guys can also show my wife and I where some of the cooler places in town is.

hey again, you found yourself to right spot......welcome

Thanks. I'm glad to see this community is as active as it is. I was over there at the 350Z site back in its hey day and have made many friends over the years. Hoping to do the same here.

Welcome to the KC family. If i can get mine back up and running I'll rejoin the herd but as of now it's spitting out an ecu alarm and a random misfire......i hate STS.

Nuki 06-15-2012 05:59 PM

That sucks. Hope it all gets cleared up.


So I'm determined not to put too many mods into the Nismo until I get it closer to paid off, but the allure is hitting me hard. Maybe just an intake for now (thats how it always starts) or an exhaust at some point. However, I am thinking of doing some very (read VERY) slight cosmetic changes. Like powder coating the wheels black, along with the handles and badges. Maybe blacking out the tail lights also. We have anyone local you guys trust to do that stuff?

If you find a good powder coater, let me know. I've thought about doing my wheels in blk at some point also now that new wheels are out of the budget.

Scott, on another site I lurk on (there are so many!) they recommend Industrial Coatings Home page .I saw pictures of their work and it's very impressive. The site is Porsche related and you can imagine how particular those folks can be.

Win. Looks like I've found the place to powder coat my wheels. Gloss Black, here I come.

so i definitely blew it on friday. got waste deep in the datsun, and couldn't get it back to driving condition in time for fast fridays, grrrrr.

my z is looking at me like the neglected child

ima need some stuff PC'd soon too, let me know how it goes

edub370 06-18-2012 12:56 PM

bummer man. i still wanna see that thing. i am fast friday'd out.

need to find a new car meet or something around kc

JacksonZ33 06-18-2012 02:02 PM

agreed. not enough variety to keep me interested for more than 1 hour. plus it being on friday night is kinda tricky.

someone needs to start a KC Cars and Coffee.....

Unless I convince my wife to get it done for me while I'm overseas, I'd say it will be at least a month before I get it done. Probably one of the first things I'll do once I'm home from Afghanistan. I know I'll be getting it done so if someone else hasn't go to them until then.

Hmmm thats an idea. I tried to get a Cedar Rapids/Eastern Iowa Z thing going a few years ago, but we didnt have enough people to participate. Maybe a Cars and Coffee thing would work.

edub370 06-18-2012 04:09 PM

C&C would be awesome to have in kc!

KC really needs some legit car meets. texas 2k style or c&c style or something. just need to figure out how to get something like that goin

Nuki 06-18-2012 05:48 PM

Lemme reach out to some of my guys on my350z.com. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them know how to get something like this started.

JacksonZ33 06-19-2012 11:44 AM

you'd have to include the corvette's and domestics prolly, but I think theres a huge untapped auto community here in kc. and being centrally located could bring people in from other states

edub370 06-19-2012 12:50 PM

me and my roommate were talking about this yesterday. as u see from ff, there are plenty of vipers, lambos, ferraris, and ls cars around. along with all the import and euros. finding where they hide is the hard part
