Dude, that was me for sure. Good eye. White Nismo with mag blue CE28s. They look much darker in person than in photos. My rear diffuser only looked blacked out because it is dingy from the exhaust fumes coming through test pipes. Car needs a wash badly, at least the backside.

I live behind the Ranch 99, so I am around this area a lot. Which way were you going? I did not catch you but did hear a horn honk. Was that you?

I've only seen a few 370Z's in the area myself. Saw a silver one on Montague yesterday and have seen a couple PG's. They are rare around here, or I just don't go out much.
Many 350Z's though. At work there are 3 in the lot.

i was actually in a 4runner at the time going towards brokaw. my Z was parked at a friends house not too far. DAMMIT. once i saw that white nismo, i was like...it HAS to be the SC'd one. i must see your car one of these days, because thats the route i want to go in the future!

and dont worry, i need a wash too. i did a full detail (took me 2 days to polish the damn thing), but after a week the ash from the exhaust kills the back end!

Good time to do the GTM SC. GTM just released the stage 2 SC kit. Compared to the stage 1 kit, it costs about $500 more but makes I think at least 50 more HP than the stage 1. Let me know through PM when you want to meet up. Be warned that you may want to go FI immediately once you've had a taste.

And even though our white cars rear ends look like sh!t after a few drives, it is still easier to deal with than black. My other car is black and it used to take me well over 4 hours to wash and detail the exterior and then 2 days later it looked like crap again.

ugh..tempting. one of these days. plan is to pay off the Z (almost there wooo) then wait til warranty is up before i fool around with F.I. i'll have to pick your brain if you're still around then

I actually live in Vallejo.. I see a white nismo every now and then in vallejo and around berkley. i can't recall if the rear diffuser was black though.. My Z is my daily driver now that my Altima is gone.. So i might be one of the PG that you see around.. lol

Saw a Silver at Laguna track day on Sunday after the Rolex race (while we were packing up) and then a silver on Cochrane in MH at the 3-way stop sign by Target.

My wife reported that she saw a Z yesterday. I asked if it was a 350 or 370 and she said "blue".

onzedge · 07-15-2011, 04:49 PM

Mt Tam -- that is an excellent picture.
