Sh*t I forgot all about this. I intended to go last week. I might pass by this Thursday although, unfortunately, I don't have my Z yet (March, hopefully) so I won't be very entertaining for you. I just wanna check it out.

What's it actually like over there? I've haven't been to a street meet since I moved to the States. Is it a bunch of 18yo illiterates with big mufflers on sh*t cars doing donuts and drinking Henny from Coke bottles, or will I see some proper machines and meet decent people?

I won't bother if it's just a teen scene.

Well there are usually 30-50 cars that show up each week; there's a bunch of different groups really. I wouldn't say there are uber-mature & awesome cars, but it's a great place just to hang out? & just talk.

Ah okay, sounds cool enough. Well I'll likely head over there tonight to check it out. Are you going? Is that your red Z? I'll look out for it.

Also, I just saw on TQPI that you got through to round 2 on GT academy. Congrats, man. I didn't have the patience to put in the times. Plus I spent most of January in Philippines (my wedding) so there wasn't time. Good going though - must have been tough.

EDIT: Okay, I didn't make it, but I have a GREAT excuse - I was stuck in the dealership until almost midnight buying MY Z!! So maybe next week?! At least this time I'll be bringing a suitable ride of my own

Does anybody know where to have stainless steel brake and clutch lines replaced here in N. Las Vegas? Any help would be great, thanks!

Tanooki! sorry for my late post; havent been on lately because I've been concentrating on round 3 of GT Academy.

Btw thanks for the congrats! We will definitely meetup sometime;

I don't have a Z; the one in my sig is what I want; I just have my RSX-S

Actually I heard a kool story from Ducky last time we met up; also on this Vegas thread (blue 370Z) He told me about you buying a new Z; red, 5k miles, 26.9k price... LOL that was the one I test drove as well! I was at united Nissan 1 month ago to look @ trading in my RSX for that one;

It has the illuminated kick plates too right? Awesome car!

Just wanna say congrats! on your awesome purchase & let's definitely meetup on the next meet; GT Academy ends this sunday; I will be on it until the end, but getting top 8 will be a stretch.... will do my best!

Hey whatsup! Welcome to the forum;

I get all my work done @ Uehara Motoworks on Spring Mtn. & Arville; basically across china town.

Person who owns the shop is Mori; I trust all the work he does & he just recently changed my clutch & flywheel, perfect job; it's now fully broken in with no problems, and he is a very kool guy; like you can be in the shop & talk to him while he works on your car type guy.

Here is the number to the shop: 454-6680

& here is his webpage: Mori W (Uehara Motowerks,Inc) on Myspace

Yeah my brother in law also goes to Mori - he's been using that garage for years and never had any probs so if you haven't already you should give them a try.

Haha yeah man, I thought it was pretty funny when you told me you'd driven my car before I did. I know its selfish to say, but I'm SO glad you didn't buy it because it'd be in your garage and not mine, and I LOVE my car.

Yeah it has the illuminated kick plates, which was a bonus because I was gonna order those anyway. Saved myself 200 bucks.

I haven't driven it in three days actually. Getting major withdrawal symptoms. Something must be going on this week. I want a good excuse to take it out.

flynushi · 03-09-2011, 10:01 PM

Zat_Zuma · 03-10-2011, 11:49 AM

Why is that I've been in Vegas for a week and all over the place(had a camaro rental) and not one 370Z sighting??????

Where are all the Z's?

flynushi · 03-10-2011, 09:55 PM

Truth is, I just don't think there are that many around. I know 4 guys in town with 370s. Apart from those I only see like 2 a month on the road.

It's cool though - gives you that exclusive feeling even though, inevitably, the exclusivity will die down as more pop up.
