Lets see that's the gas station across from Dalhs. I don't think that was me. But if the streets are dry I am usually driving around WDM somewhere.
I'm retired, just turned 60 and got this Z last summer when my 2012 Altima burnt up.

I'm waiting for my tax return to get some new speakers and a amp.
I put this HU in when I got it in June

Kenwood Excelon DDX8901HD DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

but need to finish up with some decent speakers. Looking at Hertz or Focals. Not sure what I am going to end up with. And one of these in the back.

Custom Sub Enclosure | Affordable Sub Box

Nice. The guy from Clive is (or was) selling a sub enclosure like that. I'm not sure if he still has it. He has a thread on here:

Black Nissan 370Z 13k Miles! Flawless!

I think this is the one. Very nice car. I would of bought it if I seen it before I ran into mine. I have the 2013 black base. No spoiler.

Yep, same guy.

I was tempted to bring my Z out today (but I didn't). It's supposed to be 57 tomorrow, so maybe then? Wunderground says 3-5 inches Saturday.

Last Thursday afternoon I saw a red 370Z on I235. Anybody on here?

Spring Bump! Anything happening in the next couple of weeks? Also, can anyone recommend a shop to installing my FI test pipes and exhaust?

I think they were planning on April 25th in Cottonwood for a BBQ. Nothing official sent out yet tho.

Glad to hear you went with the FI exhaust!! You're gonna love it.

I hope so! It's been sitting in my basement since November! I'm ready to throw it on!

Well, Central Imports is installing my exhaust stuff on Tuesday. Anybody ever work with them?

My only experience was during a Dyno day. They didn't tie down my car correctly and pushed my exhaust into my bumper, melting it underneath. They also couldn't get a torque reading easily. Probably fine for your exhaust install, but I'd be weary of getting on the dyno. If you do watch them VERY carefully. They do a lot of Honda builds. I've heard good things in general for them, just had a bad experience. Should be fine for your exhaust install.

Well, Central Imports did the install yesterday, and (as far as I can tell) they did a great job. I went with Resonated Test Pipes and the catback with 18" resonators. I'm happy with the sound. A little bit of drone at certain RPMs, but overall it's not bad at all. Absolutely no rasp, either!

Here are some pics. The only thing I'm worried about is that with the NISMO bumper, the tips don't look like they go out as far as they should. I'm sure it's fine, but I'm just worried that without the cats, stuff might build up on the bumper (see last 2 pics).

Glad to hear! Looks good!

Yeah, I'm not familiar with their placement on a NISMO bumper. Maybe check around here on the forum for reference pics.

Grats, nice!

Question for all you other Iowa people - What mods is everyone running?

Now that I have my exhaust mods done, I'm trying to decided what (if anything) is next. Maybe a Stillen Gen 3 intake?

I'm stock unfortunately. And probably going to be leaving the family :(

The State of Iowa?
 

After my exhaust, I did swift springs, spacers, and whiteline front and rear swaybars. Tossed on the rear fog light for fun, too.

I've also done the diff bushings, clutch, flywheel, and gauges to get ready for boost.

Intake and a tune would also liven things up for you. Stillen or I was eyeballing the Takeda CAI too before deciding to take the car another route.

Anyone know of any good shops around the Quad Cities area for installation of exhaust and other mods? I am in the Muscatine area but have had no luck finding any shops in the area. Not overly concerned about the installation on the FI exhaust but I plan on doing HFC's and CAI eventually with a tune so wanted to find someone fairly close to Muscatine.

You know of anybody in the area that does tuning? I wouldn't mind picking up the Stillen Gen 3 intake, but I think that I would need a tune by that point.

Also, there's a Coney Island Cruise-In on Tuesday night in Des Moines, if anybody wants to join. All makes are welcome!

I know there are plenty of people who tune in the area, but not a lot of experienced UpRev tuners.... Moncef Faik will do street tunes and seems pretty knowledgable on a variety of Nissan platforms. I'm not sure how much VQ tuning he has under his belt, you'd have to find him on Facebook and ask him about UpRev specifically. He's out of Cedar Rapids. I was planning on taking my car up to the twin cities once I go FI and there's no room for error on a tune.

Well, it doesn't have to be UPRev. I don't know what the differences are between tuning brands/companies. Who are you going to have do the tuning up there?

Which kit are you going with, now that the GTM thing fell through?

Heh, I figured I'd reach out to the MN Nissan Infiniti club when my kit came in (I had some names of shops a while back but would have to check what I wrote down two years ago, lol) but since your post I've been checking out ECUtek again, sounds like they're releasing what they promised two years ago with some neat features. if that's the case, you could probably just ETune with one of the vendors on this forum with that? But it's pretty much between those two software packages for our platform. GTM is still in contact with me on the kit from time to time, still trying to get my money back/kit or equivalent, pretty much all my plans have been on hold till I can get that resolved first. I'm glad you hit up the Coney Island night! I need to get down there.

Anyone on here participate in the NICI cruise this weekend?

Yup!! Had a pretty good turnout. Always a good route.

Does the NICI put on any big Spring events?

Yeah, usually a few. In the past we've gone carting before the driving season, and I'm sure there's something in the works. You gonna go to Branson this year? I heard a number of guys will be going.

Whats going on in Branson?

There's a z fest every year where people from all over meet up and cruise the roads. Check it out:

http://www.bransonzfest.com

Pretty amazing. Don't think you can find a better group of roads closer. Not to mention all the people are awesome, like every Nissan event.

Just checked out the website. Sounds like a pretty good time. Which day do you guys usually head down there?

Anyone wanna go karting in DSM at MB2 raceway on Jan 16th? The NICI club will be getting together.

It kinda depends. We're still trying to figure that out for this year. But there's always more to do! I'd like to go down on Wednesday or maybe even earlier if I could?

Karting on Saturday starts at 2! Hope to see ya there Swiss

You going? I wasn't planning on it, but maybe.

Yup. Not taking the Z. But I'm gonna be there with another buddy from Waterloo

FYI I have a near brand new sub stealth box for sale. Mint condition. Sold my z and don't need it anymore. Paid $1,000.

Car season is starting up... Who wants to get together this season? I've got my car out a few times already. Looking for an excuse to drive somewhere! NICI is still planning some events too, if you have ideas you wanna toss out...

You should have come to the West Des Moines Cars and Coffee yesterday! There was a pretty big turn out, despite it being cold and super windy.

Nice meeting you today! Had to head out and get some sleep.
