hey everyone. like i said in the title, my name is Stephen Walton and i'm new to this forum, i currently live in Auburn, i drive a Z32 slicktop. i've been on NICO since january (love it) and aspeed since shortly after i moved here in august. for the five years before i came to AU, i was in montgomery, which is where my Z still resides. the Z is a 1991, red, 5-speed. so far the only notable mods are the JWT popcharger and HKS Hiper exhaust.
why is it still in montgomery? overheating problems. not sure what it is and no one can tell me, so i'm replacing everything. and very soon. here's the planned parts list: Z1 NA radiator (yea, forgot to mention it's an NA, sorry to disappoint :rolleyes:), Z1 dual electric fans, nismo thermostat, new Nissan OEM waterpump, AMS 4-piece pulley set with Nissan belt, Z1 chrome radiator hardpipe with silicone elbows/upper hose, and at the same time i'm going to put in the correct sparkplugs. can't wait til it's fixed. o, i'll also be a ricer and get an HID kit at the same time :p.
after i get her up here to Auburn, i'm ordering an AMS short shifter, 1-piece driveshaft (probably by AMZ), and a Specialty Z x-pipe (if anyone wants my nearly new HKS h-pipe, just let me know. it's only a few months old). i've heard too many times how great a light 1-piece feels. and jerry on NICO inspired me, along with probably hundreds of others, to go for an x-pipe. i love the aggressive tone compared to H.
anyway, no one really cares about anything i said; everyone just wants to see the pictures, right? yea, i would too. some of you may have seen it around montgomery a few times. so here you go:
those above shots are the most recent. my dad cleaned my wheels for me and kindly mailed me the prints and digital copies! i haven't even seen it since then (but i will tomorrow! :D)
with john furr's old blue 3 and matt reimer's white 3. you may have seen my friend matt around montgomery. the blue one is now totaled (not john's fault).
P.O.P.
full custom suede interior. the dealership i got it from had someone do it and i don't know the details, but i do love it! huge plus to the car overall, i think.
thought this was a neat picture. not good quality or anything, but still neat. that's an ebay strut bar that i'm removing when i install all the above parts.
Slicktop FTW
right after the wash for the first car show and at the first car show (monthly at flips) with my girlfriend.
HKS. left side has a bent hanger. $20 fix and they'll be even. on my to-do list.
a picture.
well, there you have it. hope you liked them.
now, i noticed i "know" some of you guys.
Eric/AUtigers350z - good to meet you and thanks for the invite. beautiful Z!
Rob/Blacktwin - yea, i'm that guy on myspace. i was wondering if you'd be willing to help me out when i install all those parts sometime soon. i couldn't do it alone. my dad, a friend of mine (brett), and someone else (you?) would be there. i'd really appreciate it. if not, that's cool.
PearlWhite03 - dude, i LOVE your car. we live literally 30 seconds apart from each other. i was driving by one day and saw your car and was like WHOA! and pulled over and drooled over it for five minutes. lol. didn't expect to see something like that in auburn, let alone alabama. i really wanted to see under the hood. saw the IC and knew it was TT. now i see it's greddy. nice.
that's it as far as i've seen so far.
are zack and brent on here?
on another thread i saw someone mention zack's Z. here's a picture:
sorry it's big. like my blur job? haha
i'm definitely looking forward to one of your future Z/G meets. if it's not too far and i'm available i'll most likely be there!
uh, that's it.
