I was there, unfortunately I did not sport any NICO garb. Due mostly to the fact that I do not own any.

For the most part HIN always blows. This one was kinda cool though. I saw George from powerline there with his widebody vert, a few SR's one KAT and one very cool drift car. It was a 240 hatch with a S14 Zenki front end. Very cool. That is the first Zenki front end swap I have seen. There were a million 350Z's there (way way way too many for one gathering). Normally the shows in Orlando suck because hardly anyone here has a clue, but this one wasn't too bad. There was a lot less neon there than in recent years. Also alot less stock cars there. Although most of the 350z's had wheels and an intake and that's all. Very disappointing in that respect.

My favorite car of the show was a mirage that had an Evo 3 engine and drivetrain swapped. I am not one for graphics but these were cool. I will post some pics when I get them off my camera.

Anyone else in this are go? What did you think?

I will get them up tonight or tomorrow.That S13.4 was straight up race car. It had nothing inside, just an SAFC and a Boost Controller. No gauges, cluster, nothing. It was sweet.

There was also a very nice KAT there. I didn't get too many pics of that one though. My camera was full by the time I located it. It is nice to see that the cars are getting better. There is increasingly less people there for stereos, neons and paint and more people that are performance oriented. Or at least clean and tastefully modified.

I was there also...I took pics but they came out very dark. Being that it was my first time going to HIN...I have to say I liked it. Saw a whole bunch of Nissans...I did like the 240sx's of course...especially seeing 2 verts. There were a few 350z's also..but only a few were actually really hooked up. There was an orange 350z roadster that was hot...and a blue coupe with black rims that had a turbo in it...I forgot what it was called though. I think there was like about 3 or 4 S15s...I saw a red s13...powerline's green vert...a rhd vert with silvia conversion...a s13 coupe with the bumper missing...and of course the skylines.
