We picked up a red first gen. A while back I had a second gen and it was a POS so we opted for the first instead. Red with enkei RPFO1's already on it. One has road rash though so it's plasti dip until we can afford powder coat.

Glad you are keeping the Z and hope things get turned around for you guys quickly.

Thanks. Now we just need to find him a more stable job.

When the housing market climbs back up, selling my condo will be the key to creating a blank slate. I owe 91k and it's back up to 95k. Only needs time and then I will be free of the debt. I'd rather rent than keep living like this.

Almost forgot to mention. We decided not to run Friday. I don't want to waste gas and money while we are in this much of a struggle so we're going to wait until next season. However, we will make it to C&C this Saturday, assuming his schedule doesn't get toyed with again.

Sorry to hear about your cash money troubles. Wifey and I are in a similar situation. I'm looking to get some evening work to help us do the things we need to do. Plus I haven't seen my family in over two years so a trip back to England is overdue.

I was looking for you last weekend, I went poking around the Mini area but didn't see anyone. Hopefully (finally) catch up with you this weekend.

Did manage to meet Infamous though - good meeting you dude.

What up guys, I just picked up a 2012 6MT Gun Metal Gray 370Z. I have seen a red 370Z and another gray one up here. Anyone on the forums? Both on Centennial and losee area.

We were not there last weekend because I was getting stabbed multiple times by an inexperienced blood draw person and almost passed out.

Welcome to the forums. I think most of us are southwest. Not sure if anyone is up there in the north or not?

PedroVonSmith · 10-17-2013, 04:23 PM

I local here in vegas owns and runs a car clothing company called DorkiDori clothing. He is putting a limited run of shirts through featuring Z34's. You can get one if you go to DorkiDori - Z34 02 he doesnt do reprints so if you want one get one now. They are nice!. Just a heads up. Also does anyone drift there 370Z? I tested it out last night and I see no reason why these will not drift. They will, but the money factor is high. I plan on taking my 370 to the next Vegasdrift event and testing it out there in a safe environment. If anyone wants to go with me let me know. I have volunteered at and driven in a few events (had a 240sx). They are a riot.

PedroVonSmith · 10-17-2013, 09:03 PM

Does anyone elses First gear sound like an angry cat under a pillow thats 10 feet away? I have read that first gear is loud but man. It is nuts that and its been 2 days and I am still getting used to the clutch. This thing is wierd..... But I like it alot....

SS_Firehawk · 10-17-2013, 11:52 PM

370Z's tend to drift really well, more so the Nismo's. With a real diff (a mechanical 2 way), they would be stellar. To use your brakes to initiate a drift, you have to pull the brake override fuse so you can brake and gas at the same time. I don't drift, I'm just passing along what I've read. But yes, tires and maintenance on the Z for drifting might suck.

Also regarding first gear, the stock exhaust blows @ss (my opinion). That was the first thing to go in my car. at 5krpm, it just sounds buzzy and coarse in the cabin. It sounds okay outside, but it's quiet still.

PedroVonSmith · 10-18-2013, 01:08 AM

I will post the next event date up here when VegasDrift has another session. It is at Las Vegas Speedway. If anyone is interested in going hit me up. You need a helmet and I can get you the form for tech. Its pretty basic. Does anyone go to meets other than C&C?

Infamous · 10-18-2013, 01:11 AM

Congrats on the new z pedro. I came from anm s13 hatch. Look into removing or replacing the clutch helper spring. It feels much better than stock.

PedroVonSmith · 10-18-2013, 01:33 AM

Did you only remove or did you replace?

Infamous · 10-18-2013, 10:54 AM

I replaced. I'll try to find who I bought it from on here and let you guys know.
