first, i hope this is the right place :gapteeth:

so, i live in galveston, and as far as i know, there is maybe 2 z's in galveston, mine and the other is owned by your typical fast and the furious type of guy, car has those ferrari tail lights, and all that rice stuff, i dont want anywhere close to him :rotfl . anyhow, so i really want to make connections and hopefully friendships that relate to our love for z.

so far i've only owned the car for maybe 3 months, and it has been every bit as everyone told me, a BUMPY ride. but i love it, it's fun, and so far besides some common problems for the car, it has been really good to me. it its a car with 187xxx as of now, and i daily drive it no problem.

but like i said i really want to make friendships that relate our z's, and get some tutors and what not, because, yes this forum is EXTREMELY helpful and people are very nice, but having help live is much better right? plus the added friendships and love for a common thing is always good.

so anyone on the houston/ galveston and whatever in between area? maybe to have a get together and what not down here in the island, have a nice time, talk about z's, have a nice beer by the beach, and what not?

by the way, i don't know if i have ever posted a pic of my z, but here she is :gapteeth: (zipties... oh yes... as you can see my drive way is quite steep and more often than not i scrapped and some old repaired cracks started again, so i pulled fender off and did that "fix" surprisingly people in general think it looks actually ok haha, now i park on the street, lesson learned.. ) also in the pics the paint looks ok but in person, oh boy, it has some really bad paint job, i will do the prep myself and have her sprayed. but that's down the road when some of the mechanical things are sorted.

Hey man my name is Mark. I live 2 hours east from Houston in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

I wouldn't expect many Z's to live on Galveston, but in Houston they are everywhere. Whats your name? Are you going to be going to IFO in baytown on the 28th? We could meet up then and I could introduce you to the crew. :)

Also yes the Nissan community in general is great I have met many great people, I have had people flag me to stop while I was driving around in the Z to talk about the car and sometimes they weren't even driving their Z or S-chassis (I'm talking about all year Z's and all S-chassis btw).

I have also flagged people to stop just for a chit chat most recently (before I took my Z apart for the rebuild) I flagged down a guy driving a Z33. :D

There is 2 GTR's that live in my city. A chick drives one and an older fella drives the other. They are both silver but one is the darker "Graphite" silver. I'm going to wait until I finish with my Z and then I'll flag them down. I have yet to ride in a GTR or any Skyline for that matter. :frown:

yo mark! ahah, my name is juan, and until now no, i wasn't planning on going to IFO, but now i wanna, that would be great to meet you guys and what not, is there registration involved? if so, could you point me to where i could maybe do it online or something? oh boy, taking my dd z32 with a bad paint job to a car show. oh boy... ahahaha. i will for sure go, hopefully i get the rear main sorted out this coming week, even if i don't, i still wanna go, i've drove farther before like this, it just smells like a little oil burning, no biggie.

and i have never really gotten stopped by anyone to talk about the car ahahah people just stare at it, it gets uncomfortable at times ahaha from driving a volvo station wagon that get's less than 0 looks, to this... it's funny. once tho, i met this guy at a car wash down here in galveston from houston, he had a white tt, super clean, forgot his name, he was tall and big, cool guy.

and here in galveston there is one gtr r35, and he is the owner of a japanese restaurant, yamatos, i've been itching to talk to him about the car, he is from japan so he must know his cars :gapteeth:

haha ok I'll give you the details when it gets closer to time.

I suggest you fill out your location under your profile that way other members that may live close to you can possibly meet up with you.
