Hey everyone... new member here. Actually just paid via paypal and sent over a signed app... hope it went through as I heard the site just recently came back up after being down for a while..... so....

I'm a 29 year old engineer, born/raised in NorCal, college and worked in SoCal. I love to surf, hike, run, been wrestling/boxing since I was 6, big skier/snowboarder, I love cars (driving them, working on them, washing them, whatever...) My job has had me out here in Salt Lake City since summer 2008, and just recently was made aware of the ZCOU. I was a member of a few clubs out in Cali and I'd like to make some friends and check out some rides out here! I'll be out here for another 3 or 4 years or so. I've always been a Nissan fanatic, and Zs in particular. I'm a big drift fan! My bro and I used to make it out to vegas and LA for the drift events, and still try to even though I'm here and he's there.

My ride is a 2007 base model. Nismo rear wing, Nismo dual air intake, Stillen true dual exhaust. I have some Rota Grid wheels, hyper black, staggered 18x8.5,9.5 that I just purchased. I'll mount them here shortly, as soon as my current tires wear off, as they're wrapped around the stock wheels. I still have the stock tires on (I don't drive her much, just weekends, dates, cruises, etc.) I got plans for a brake/rotor upgrade, and final drive upgrade to 4.08 gear set. I think that's about as far as I'll go with her.

Being the Nissan guy I am, I also have a B14 (1996 200sx) SR20DET, and an old school N13 (1988 Pulsar NX SE) CA18DE (daily driver). Not too many pulsars around these days, and I believe the CA18 models are even rarer! Both a blast to drive!

I also have a little '91 Suzuki Samurai that I'm building up. Thats my little off-road, snow, short trip, and dogs vehicle. It kicks butt! Below are pics of what it looks like now, and what it will look like soon.

Hey Edgar, welcome to the club!
You've got a great looking 350Z man. Those Hyper Black Rota wheels ought to look pretty good on there.
Your B14 looks pretty good too, and I bet the SR20DET gets it down the road pretty well :lol:
The NX is CLEAN man :twisted: I'm definitely diggin' it. It's a looker for sure.
Good luck on the Samurai, if you can turn it into that bottom picture, it'll be a little beast for sure.

Anyways man, again, welcome to the club.
Can't wait to see you out to some of the meets and get a chance to meet ya in person.
Z Ya Later :twisted:
