Ha! My car's up there getting a 120k done also. I had a fuel injector crap out on the way there lol...but they were the original from 1989. Getting updated injectors, tune, HICAS delete and some miscellaneous maintenance done.

Looking at updating my suspension too. Anyone try Fortune Auto's stuff on their Z? Probably going to lower & upper arms, new bushings..

Wait, you have a Z? How did I never know this?

I recommend SPL or powertrix for suspension parts. Charles is always running group buys on the Z forums and sale pages, and usually also has holiday sales for PT stuff. Save yourself some coin naaaameeen?

Oh yeah, you had posted about that, I'm just retarded and it slipped my mind. 2+2 turbo, very nice!

Well, both of you should probably know that Z1 Motorsports and Concept Z Performance both have sales on a lot of major holidays. The last one was July 4th and the next one is Black Friday I think, which is also the best discounts they give all year. If you want a lot of expensive parts, that is the time to get them.

man in Winter Haven, Florida has survived a horrible crash that actually split his vehicle completely in two when he slid off the roadway and hit a tree.

The crash occurred Tuesday evening when 20-year-old Carlos Pino lost control of his silver 1986 Nissan 300ZX and started to slide on the wet roadway at a turn.

The vehicle left the roadway striking a tree with the driver’s side front wheel and quarter panel, and the impact caused the vehicle to split in two with the front engine compartment on one side of the tree and the vehicle’s cab with Pino buckled in coming to a rest on the other side. No other vehicles were involved

Pino was wearing his seat belt, and was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
