I ended up staying until around 11:45 to avoid the mess of everyone leaving/showing off.

Indeed. On the Nissan front, not many Zs, but a lot of GTRs showed up (more than normal). GTRs are going to be more common than our Zs soon

As the 2009/2010 are hittng the used market they are going for around high 60/low 70 meaning more people are scooping them up. We'll be seeing more and more of them.

charles doesnt do much installs anymore ..he said he was willing to install mine since it was his product.. but he will need 2-3 days since he runs a 1 man business and does a lot of phone support, shipping, machining, and CAD work every day... it will be hard for him to take a whole day off to work on it.

but i will try calling project x and see whats up.. thanks

Actually if Nissan treated the Z like the GTR it would be worse for owners that have an 09, or 10. Imagine if every year they improved the Z as much as the GTR.

Yeah but it's not really any different from any other product you buy. I'd expect a company to continually update their cars (for the better) over the production life span. It's also a great way to entice those impulse buyers to spend more money.

Is there some meet or event going on the weekend of the 17th? I thought I saw something about this, but maybe I'm just delusional

Yes on the 18th we'll be having a premeet cars and coffee followed by a cruise to the ChicagoZ meet.

I need premeet suggestions. The ChicagoZ meet is in Evanston.

Sure! Let me know.

Im planning on installing the SPC camber arms and aligned again next week so hopefully im correctly aligned! Haven't decided on the toe bolt install yet. I think the stock ones may be adequate.
