Orlando Import Auto Specialist could handle that.

If you want a Z specific shop I'd recommend DRZA but they are in Tavarese and only work by appt. Sometimes you have to schedule out 30days with them. Very busy shop, VQ engine builds featured in magazines ect. Run by Derek and his wife Rita.

Where are the Central Florida Z meets / Track Days at?

Is it really that dead? :confused:

Trying to get to Sebring in a few months for a track day. Check out CFZC, they used to host a Z car show at least once a year, but I haven’t been in a while so don’t know if they still do it. I’m over in Bradenton though, so not central Florida

CFZC on FB usually has a few different crews doing their own things. As far as a meet, I always check the ACE Cafe Orlando calendar or the CFZC group. I believe the next meet at ACE Cafe Orlando is in February.

Sat Feb 19th will be street car night at Orlando Speed World. Would love to not be the only Z there. Also would love to see some boosted Z's.

I'll be working on my 60ft to try and get into the 12's. Best so far is 13.4 @106 with a crap 2.2 60ft. I'm going to need a 1.9 to get a 12.8. Wish me luck.

Damn, OSW is right around the corner from me and this would be a great event to reminisce on some high school memories out at the track.

Bummer that I will be out of town! Especially if a Z is going to be running down the 1/4! Hopefully you'll post some pics/vids for some of us to live vicariously through! And good luck!

CFZ Meet up at ACE Cafe Orlando on Feb. 26th at 7pm. Plenty of Z's and other Nissans show for this meet. I'll try to be there with my fiancé and have some beers / check out some rides.

Any South Floridians?

Anyone know any clubs that do Autocross in the Tampa Bay Area, it’s been a few years but I used to go out with FAST, but it looks like they shut down a few years ago. Once it starts cooling down I’d like to get back out there.

Any reputable shops in the Tampa area for the CMC/CSC?

If you want to go down to Bradenton, Panzer performance did mine.

While going through some documents, I came across some stuff pertaining to my previous Z that I traded in. I've always wondered who bought it and what ever happened to the car.

Did anyone buy a 2009 370Z from Courtesy Nissan in Tampa, FL, towards the end of 03/2018? It was a pearl white/sport/touring/nav/auto and had close to 81k miles at the time.

Weighing out my options regarding the CMC/CSC replacement on whether to DIY or take it to a shop. The only shop that specializes in Z's in Tampa seem to be Fever Racing (formerly Z Fever). I've spoken with the owner, Doug, for a few minutes, and he seems to know what he's talking about and told me he does these replacements "all the time". I've read some really good stories, but also some horror/bad things. Has anyone had any experience with them?

If you want someone to work on your car you can trust. I highly recommend Derek and Rita from DRZA in Tavarese, FL. Yes you'll need to drive for about 2 hrs, no they are not cheap, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing your car is the hands of people who really care and know what they are doing is priceless. Plus, you'll see some absolutely wicked Nissan builds while you're there. R34's, R33's, R32's, S13's, S14's, S15's and plenty of Z's from all eras.

Z Fever / Fever Racing, has a shady past according to google.
I'd say its 50/50 whether they do a good job or...not.

Good Luck
