January 2015 - Meeting Notes
Dear Empire Z Members,
Happy New Year! We would like to thank everyone who helped us bring in the new year on January 1. It was great to see around 24 Zs, including 17 Z32s
on a cool night. Check out pictures at https://www.facebook.com/InlandEmpireZ
Trivia - I occasionally ask trivia questions at the monthly meeting and this time it was about the year Nissan produced the most Zs. Numbers vary, but
most sources agreed that (see answer below) was the high point, with one source going into 6 figures! It was also named Motor Trends Import Car of the
Year for that year. Our winner took home a cool issue of Sport Z magazine, which ran from 2000 - 2006.
Z Home - One of the sources used for the trivia question and an all-around interesting Z site. Check it out at http://zhome.com/
Z Car Club Magazine - Art just posted some possible changes going forward. Check out his ideas and post suggestions or questions at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Z-Car-Club-Magazine/139658846233046
Powertrix - It was cool to see how many people at the meeting were running Powertrix suspension parts and Charles told us another good opportunity is
coming soon with a group buy for all models, so keep checking https://powertrix.com/.
Charles is still looking for an S30 in the $1500 range to do R&D for a new line of coilovers. If you have or know of any, please contact him at
cpark@powertrix.com

Help Wanted - We are looking for someone who is willing to help out the club as an officer. Our year ends in March and I will not be continuing as
