Vegas Speak Up!

They told me I could pick up my rims at 1 so I called at 1, they hadn't even shot the wheels yet...........they say they will be ready before the end of the day but that probably means I won't have time to get my tires mounted and will miss taking the car out to C&C in the morning. Oh well

I got them, ran them over to the tire shop, they put the tires on even though I got there at closing. They look really nice and it seems like they did a very good job. I do believe it was worth the wait. It just tough when you can't drive your car and it's sitting up on jack stands for so long. I will post pictures later on, oh and send photos from Canada!

Tazicon

This weekend I will be back under the Z working on the brakes again. This time only 10k miles since I had the rotors turned...........I need to try new pads or something but keep it DD friendly.

I know Jenz was struggling at the track, here are a few vids of my car and a buddies car making a pass. Had these in my journal, thought it might help here. I would have gone faster but my O2 sensors were wired all assed up at the time (I didn't know yet). I haven't seen very many Z's get deeper into the 13's stock like they do at other tracks. Idk if it's elevation, heat, track prep, idk. Even a lot of cars that run 12's were averaging mid 13 passes. The GTR's could care less and were snapping off 11.2 -11.3 passes.

Anyways, I launched at about 3500-4000 rpm and seemed to work well. My car had LTH's, HFC, CBE, pulley's, CAI, oil cooler, no tune, and stock tires, didn't adjust pressure, just pulled up and ran it. These were last year on 28 April.



Here is my buddies Z. He has lowering springs, Berk HFC's, Berk CBE, AEM CAI, no tune at the time.

You guys are getting some pretty good launches. That seemed to be the thing that was getting most people when I was out there.

Your wheels look good Taz! Hopefully mine are finished by the end of this week. Anyone want to do a lowering spring install Friday morning? (; jk I might take them to miller spec, Kert quoted me $150 for labor. I think I'm going to pony up, so I don't have to do it in this heat.

Tazicon

That's not bad in this heat I would say its worth it. Hope you get your wheels back soon. Other wise I wouldn't mind helping out. I won't be back in town till Sunday though

Infamous

I agree, it's worth it completely. It's way too hot to be wrenching. They said Saturday at the latest, so I'm giving them til then. Hopefully it'll be Friday after I get the springs installed though.

Infamous

Snail motorsports, you never cease to amaze me... M-Saturday of this week was your timeline you gave me. It takes me 3 calls to get an update from you? First two calls 'Juan is the one taking care of them, I'll have him call you back. He'll be back in an hour' so I wait ~3 hrs between each call and on the third call Juan answers after about 9 rings. He sounds annoyed with me and doesn't even apologize for not returning my calls or taking so long to finish the job. 'The powder won't be here til Monday according to the tracking number' so I ask when I can expect them to be finished 'a few days after I receive the powder...' He told me the powder would only take 2-3 days to arrive after I got them from the polisher weeks ago. Wtf is going on? Sorry for the rant. I'm pretty annoyed.

i noticed those guys are hit or miss. the first time i went there to have my CBR1000RR wheels coated galaxy gold, they took nearly 7 weeks to complete, i was very unhappy with the time frame, but they do exceptionally good work for a very good price. my main pet peeve is when a business tells you an early time frame to make them look good, i HATE that, i prefer the real time frame over the fake one.

It seems like they have issues with special colors etc.

JENZ

I shudder at the thought of them possibly having put me in the same position when I was considering the pink powder coating. My car would have been on jack stands and I would of had no transportation to and from work beyond the "quoted" time frame. Glad I bought different rims instead.

At this point I don't blame you, you have gone through a lot with them and they should be kissing your rear at this point! I hope they take care of you when it comes time to pay.
