Let me know when you are taking leave. The offer still stands for you to come out here and stay at my place for a bit. It'll save you on hotel fees. I didn't realize you were out here until October '07. I thought you were supposed to leave this year sometime. A friend of mine is still trying to sell his TT 2+0 for $1,500. I think he has a little suspension work done to it and also some Skyline wheels from what he said. I haven't actually seen it.
The reason the Z isn't a highly modified car is because it is so hard to work on. The GT-R is higher in performance and also easier to work on. This is the reason that most Japanese people give to me when I ask.
