Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Just booked my flights from the UK. I'll be driving down from Nebraska with Rayder.

I agree with Chris though on a few of his points. The way registration and general organizing seemed rather farcical.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

You should! I don't ship my Z over from the UK each year! lol :)

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

I am committed to something in Kansas City that Saturday so my plan is to come down Thursday and visit who I can and come back Friday.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

IF you guys all owned Z31's, there would be plenty of vending available at BZF waiting for your hard earned dollars! ;)

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Noted.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

I just bought a 93 zx and live in kc, the car definitely needs some love though, is this something even to consider going to in my car till its in presentable condition?

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

ABSOLUTELY!! I can assure, you, regardless how bad YOU think your car is, I promise you there have been worse there. (Anyone remeber the Z31s from a couple of years ago? One was painted a purple(?) pink(?) metalflake.

Branson Z Fest, or any Z gathering is a great place to learn about your car and get ideas of what you want to do to yours. Z owners LOVE to talk about their cars and give you pointers. BZF could be considered a 24/48/or 72 hour tech session.

BTW, are you friends with a Porsche owner named Jim? Last initial starts with G? If so he contacted me about you. Feel free to join the Heart of America Z Car Club for it's annual Super Bowl party to be held at Brewbakers in Lenexa on Renner Road. Starts at 5-ish pm. We are having a canned food drive so your "price of admission" will be a few cans of soup.

Heart of America Z Car Club on Facebook or www.hazcc.com .

Long time listener, first time poster... =)

Life has taken over as of late for me. Still one of the best events I have attended. Regardless of the show, its the people that make BZF. I will come if I can make it. No promises. I will be in the middle of selling 2 homes and relocating. If I can I will though.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Yes, the bonds and the friendships that have been built over the years is what keeps bringing people back to Branson Z Fest. Screwed up tshirt deliveries, screwed up cars shows, et. al. seems to take a back seat to everything else.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

It wouldn't happen to be a sapphire blue NA would it?
You're coming whether you like it or not........plan now and get with it.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Awesome! Nah I don't know a Jim I just got this guy on Craigslist and traded my tiburon for it, she needs some paint and interior work but I love the car! Cool u guys might see me there.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

It's black.... very faded black

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

\Ahh, thought it might have been Jared's old Z... Anyway, fill out your profile and life will be peachy!!

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Do you have any maintenance records? If not I encourage you to change the timing belt ASAP !

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Ok, yeah I just got an oil change, so timin belt is probably tomorrow

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Anybody know a good z mechanic in the kc area?

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

You know its got to be the people and friends if we still show up for it!

BTW Dan the pink and purple metal flake Z31's from a few years ago...that was not paint on those cars it was duct tape, all done in 8 to 10" pieces, the owners were into drifting and that was the easiest way to repair body damage and cover it up. I talked to one of them they were having a blast he said they wished we could have a drifting contest or display on the area before or after the show. Told him about Matt "accidentally" drifting the GTR on the grounds and the girl peeing in the seat!

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Yup that was boat vinyl tape. LOL

Zac and Taylor are some goofballs.
So are the rest of us Z31 guys. :D

I mean, we've graduated to full on tomfoolery now

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

You talking Z32.....Not anymore....

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

The last I heard the most experienced Z mechanics in KC are at McCarthy Nissan in Olathe. Members of HAZCC get a bit of a discount.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

I heard HAZCC was no longer around....

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Chris, HAZCC is very much around. You may be thinking of Kansas City Z Club. I beieve they have shut down their website and Facebook page. Some have joined Heart of America Z Car Club/HAZCC.

I was President of HAZCC until December 2014 when I "retired".

BTW, there is similar confusion in St. Louis. There is Gateway Z Car Club and a St. Louis Z Club. When people refer to "the St. Louis Z Club", they were actually referring to Gateway.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

^
You're right Dan, KC Z Club is what I was thinking of. :)

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Yep, Our fearless leader decided 86's were more important. My buddy actually owns jareds car so it might be at BZF haha

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Well, it appears the website and Registration is finally open....mistakes and all. If you are registering, it appears he's charging a service fee for credit cars.

T-shirts are $20 to $25 extra.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

I wont be registering. If I come at all, its just going to be a day trip to say hi to everyone. I won't be needing a room or registering for the event.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Stay a night! You and Steve need to! :)

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

I plan on it Simon just so I can see folks. I'll probably be there about 24 hours.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Good stuff! Ray Smelich and I should roll in sometime Thursday, I had wanted to get there a little earlier, but it's cool. Think we're doing sushi on the Friday...

Re: Branson Z Fest 2015!
 

Count me out.... Had you said raw beef, sure....but raw fish is just nasty. If I want raw fish, I'll eat on my wife's...umm, nevermind. :bart:
