DATE CHANGED TO SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7! Hey guys, Nissan North America has an event for the all new 370Z called the 'Follow The Nissan Z Tour' ( http://www.followthenissanz.com/index.html ) that has them going across country and stopping at various locations and performance shops along the way. One of these stops is here in the Atlanta area at our good friends over at Z1 Motorsports in Carrollton, GA. Russell (Z1's owner) and I have hosted multiple events over the years, and actually next year's GT-R Nationals event will probably be rolled into the www.zNationals.com (http://www.zNationals.com) event that we founded several years back at '300ZX Club.com'. So, Russell wanted to invite this forum's members out to the event to meet with Nissan NOrth America representatives and join the festivities on December 7 from 2pm until 6pm.
We will have a Nissan GTR Club.com banner, tents, tables, chairs, drinks, etc set up for all GT-R owners to park together. So, everyone be sure to come out on Sunday, December 7 to join us. There should be a LOT of Z's, G's, and GT-R's there in attendance! While I doubt it will be the size of the Z Nationals event, here is a picture from the Spring 2007 show at this same location:

I went to both the Z1 and Nissan site. No times listed... In fact the Nissan site does not list Saturday, but Sunday.
I will try to go if it starts early. I have to be in Marietta to work by 2:30 PM.

Hey guys, the date has CHANGED! It's now Sunday the 7th and NOT Saturday the 6th! It's from 2pm until 6pm. I really hope everyone can come out and support the event, as we'll have our NissanGTRclub banner, tents, etc and Nissan NOrth America will be in attendance. We are looking to merge the GTR Nationals and Z Nationals events this year for one huge event.

So far it has been a good turnout. Despite chilly temps 9 GTRs have made it out. 7 r35s, a r34 and a r33. The new Z is all that was promised! Hopefully some photo's will make their way up soon.

Hey guys, nice seeing you all again, and thanks for coming out! It was a good time.
Bob: so what do you think about the accessport during your ride home? :) I'm anxious to hear what you think!
Tere: let me know if you need help acquiring those bolts. Also, you won a raffle for a Nissan umbrella at the end of the day, but were already gone. Heh!
