Here is a reminder of the annual Heart of America Z Car Club Zuper Bowl Party Sunday February 2nd. We are “kicking off” our 2014 HAZCC events!! Keep reading for more, newly added details….
When: Sunday, February 2nd.
Where: Brewbakers at 9482 Renner Road in Lenexa. This is just west of I-435 and just north of 95th. This is a great spot with great food and drinks. Read more about Brewbakers here: Brewbakers Bar Home Page. Lenexa's best bar & grill featuring the best local & seasonal beers! .
What time: 5 p.m…..or whenever you can get there. Kick-off is 5:30 pm.
What’s in it for me? How about:
* A Zuper Bowl Pot with a total payout of $100?
*A silent auction for some REALLY COOL donated Datsun/Nissan/HAZCC stuff with 100% of the proceeds to go to a charity in the name of Tony Mithelavage?
NOTE: Please be sure to bring some cash and/or checks so you can get in on the Zuper Bowl Pot and silent auction.
*How about hanging out with fellow Zedheads who share your love and passion for the Z/G?
HAZCC will be providing some appetizers and you'll be running your own tab.
This is open to all past, present, and future HAZCC members!
P.S. There will NOT be a meeting preceding this so this will be "No Work. All Play"!
P.S. 2.0- You may have heard the rumors that the Super Bowl may be rescheduled due to weather. This event WILL happen, regardless of if the game is played or not.
Z you there!!
Dan McConnell

The weather for Sunday may not be Z/G/GT-R friendly but don't let that keep you from joining us Sunday. We don't care what you drive to get there, we just want you there!

Hey all! question, is there a place around here that you guys know is trusted for tunning? I am looking into getting the FI exhaust and HFC's then tunning them for the most performance for auto-x.

Only place I know that has a dyno and that has Z tuning is Modified KC. I have not gone there but I need to. Any reason you chose the FI?

How much did they charge? I'm looking for a tune as well... Might be more towards the summer as I am probably going to get the Y-pipe around then. And what do you need for a tune? I know there are different programs out there and you need to get a license for it.

Depends on what type of tune it is. Some will use the software and tune it for you, others you have to get the software to do it. Correct me if I am wrong, but i believe the most common type for the Z us upRev and there you have to have someone with the license for it in order to do it.

Did you get to choose maps? Like valet mode, or economy? I'm looking for something more dynamic than just a standard tune.

I like the sound. I could go elsewhere but I have heard the FI HFC and CBExhaust working great, and I figured might as well get all from one manufacturer. Heck, I might even wear a promo sticker here and there if they want to. The car will be a track car at some point anyway

Yeah, I was thinking of UpRev but I don't know if MKC has the license or not to do it or if I have to purchase it for them to be able to do it. I guess I will have to give them a call when time time comes to find out pricing for the tune. Unless someone else could enlighten me more about this subject.

They do have their UpRev license. Only one in KC area. The nearest one other than them in just outside STL.

i think he loaded a valet map on there, but i've never switched it over. IIRC the dyno tuning was $350-400, but i have my own uprev cable and license. so im sure it will be a little more since u will have to get the license thru him. however, with MKC being a licensed uprev dealer, they get tech support and whatnot from uprev if you want to set up any trick maps or anything. (i think uprevcracked into VVEL tuning a while back, so that MIGHT be a possibility to tune, but i wouldnt count on it)


anyways, chad and ryan at mkc are great guys and have always treated me well. plus thier shop has a great reputation in kc, so i would highly recommend them.

Here is a guide to suggested drives down there. These drives start and end in Harrison, AR. just about 30 minutes or so south of Branson on US 65. I have done everyone of these and they are WAY cool!!

Hey, I don't know if anyone use's Griot's products on their Z, but Advance Auto is discontinuing Griot's spray wax, along with some other Griot's products. My store had 2 gallon containers of the spray wax for $15.35, I bought one and the other was still there as of last night. The added bonus: at my store, it's in the 50% off bin, so you can get the gallon for about $8. I'm at the store @ K7 & Monticello in Shawnee. If someone wants it, PM me ASAP & I'll hide it for you.

Not all will agree but this is tempting even though PDK. I'd love a sport/convertible again.
