Just wanted to say hello, I'm new... Well, I've been on here before, just never registered haha.

Anyways, my name is Chris, I own 2 NA 1990 Nissan 300zx's and a 1992 240SX.

My first 300zx was a light blue/Azure blue, or just BJ0 Z32 with 142k, previously wrecked, with a short shifter, drill slotted rotors, front and rear strut towers, tint, Alpine Type-S audio, intake and an electric fan. It was my baby and my first car I owned, as well as bought on my own. The same month I found my second one, a 1990 Z32 that was the stock red color, amazingly clean, only 101k on it, stock to the bone, all it had was a new stereo.

Right now I am just fixing up the few things that have gone wrong with the red Z32, which I don't doubt a few of you have seen driving around anywhere from Ogden to West Valley. It has a bent fender from when the passenger wheel decided to leave my car on the freeway, and the a cracked front lip from all this "lovely" snow we got this past winter, the one other problem, the harmonic balancer is kinda, chipped, so the Alternator belt sometimes gets sliced up and then I have to replace it, done it about 16 times already... Other then that, she's a beauty. I try to keep her as clean as I can, and as original as I can.... The blue z however...

Is a mess. It has been since day one. The clutch was going out, the paint job on it was made up of different blue z cars haha, it was seriously cannibalistic on whatever came past it. It's a beast for sure. Long story short, I had a bad day and killed the motor. Let's just say it involved a cheating ex-girlfriend, welp, won't make that mistake again haha. Anyways, the blue z is currently sitting in my backyard, being pulled into pieces. It is going to receive an RB26DETT with a full body upgrade. I'm rebuilding it from the ground up, seriously. When I got her she was a mess, and still she's been my best companion, I decided she needs an update. I don't know how long it's going to take, but when it's done, I'm definitely going to celebrate lol.

Anyways, about me I guess... I'm 19 years old and never once touched a car until I bought my blue 300zx, since that day I've been diving into cars left and right, and learning as much as I possibly can through forums and other more experienced 300zx owners. I was planning on going to UTI Sacramento in August, but I don't think that plan is going to work out, so I'll be out here with my cars learning what I can. I like art, photography and food, lots of it. I have an amazing girlfriend named Jordan and she has been with me through all of the "adventures" I've gone through with the red Z32. I try to stop Z32 car drivers whenever I see them to take down a name and number, as well as car color and year.

I was interested in The Z Club of Utah since I was stopped one day myself, but when I came to the site it seemed kinda dead and filled with 350z, lol. Anyways, enough about me, just wanted to leave a "little" intro...


Later!

Haha wow OMG that's the kid that wrecked my blue one, his name is Ryan lol. I bought my blue one from 2 owners after him, they really did a horrible job on it lol. The wiring harness was all shot to hell, it's another reason I'm redoing the whole car.

And I am only 19, but I do think I know who you're talking about in Ogden. My front lip has a small split down the middle and a pretty banged up right front fender, the other one in Ogden has a huge chunk of his front lip broken off, his name is Anthony and I believe it's a 93 or 96, so that might give you a better idea.

I'll put some pics up in a few mins, gotta grab my external hard drive lol.

I'm also 19, and I live up in North Ogden. I'm out in the Roy area here and there. I've got a 1991 300ZX 2+2, Super White with the Twin Turbo front fascia.
Glad to have another fellow Z32 lover. Enjoy your stay on the site.
Our first meet of the year is this Sunday. We're heading to Wendover Raceway for opening day. We'd love to have you out.
Check the "ZCOU Offical Events" thread for more info.

P.S. I use tinypic.com for my pictures. Just upload your pics and copy the url that starts with IMG

Yeah, I didn't know Ryan when he had it, just after he had it, and then Zack, then Fredy lol. Me and Fredy tried to fix the wiring, but it was gone, and the underside of the frame is bent lol.

Fredy always calls it a POS, but it's my favorite one and I plan on making it better lol.

Lol look in Fredy's garage, he's got a red TT sitting in there right now, his white TT is at work with him and he's working on the red one, it's a friend of ours, he's having massive oil leak issues and a timing belt replacement.

Haha yeah I noticed when I had to take the car to Zach when the dash went out, headlights, break lights and all the inside lights stopped working, all I had was my brights. He popped out a fuse and bent one and put it in, it worked for like a week lol....

I plan on having both my Z32s running and looking amazing for a very long time.
