Please RSVP | Car Show & Track Day Update Please help us out! We made the 2016 Z-Bash Car Show no charge and registration-free to make things as hassle free for our customers as possible. We do, however, need an idea of how many will be joining the show, so we can plan for the ball park (pun intended) number of cars that will show up at Angel Stadium, and avoid creating any hassles by not having any registration. So we're asking all to RSVP who are likely to come to the show (even if you're not certain yet) on Saturday, May 14th, 2016. You can simply let us know through this forum, or by emailing zbash@motorsportauto.com, or giving us a call at (800)633-6331, or telling us when you stop by our showroom. There is even a fan page now on Facebook, where you can RSVP. Car Show Update: Just Confirmed! The first (up to 500) to bring their Z/Roadster/510/Skyline/GTR for entry into the car show will get a complementary 2016 Z-Bash/Abraham Memorial T-Shirt. Track Day update: For those of you considering a short road trip to Willow Springs, here is another update, the Sunday, May 15th, 2016 Track Event is now up to 20 Nissan/Datsuns, with 13 Z-Cars, and certainly more to come! Should be a blast!

Our continued apologies. We are still not sure why they decided to do that with no warning. It wasn't a fun situation for sure. We weren't able to get authorization for the street closure in 2015, but never expected the authorities to do what they did, since many of those parking spaces in front of our shop are used on a daily basis. Neither did they have a problem with it for any of the 3 other years we've had the smaller event, when we didn't get the authorization to close the street. This is part of why Greg went searching for a new place, and has invested in such a big venue as Anaheim Stadium for the 21st Annual Show, the New Z-Bash, where parking spaces won't be an issue.

Z-Bash 2016 Track Day Update It is still fairly early, but so far there have been 9 Z-Cars & a Roadster sign up for the Track Day at The Streets Of Willow Springs on Sunday, May 15th, 2016: A 370Z, 3 350Zs, a Z32, 4 240Zs, and a 68 2000 Roadster. Hopefully many more of you boys and girls decide to come out and play! Just remember that there are only so many cars they can accept for a given Track Day. Don't hesitate, sign up before all the Honda guys do! Just go to our Track Day Page for all of the details.

Our thanks to all regarding the questions and feedback about our shipments and forum contact. First for the shipments. We use only new boxes, and only boxes that are strong enough to have passed burst testing by FedEx. All Headers are bubble wrapped (since the header shown in the forum with the box top ripped open during shipping was a coated 6-1 header, we used the same in our example, which has an additional light wrap from the coating company over the center (on non-coated headers, the center area of the header is more visible)). In the second image you can see the header in the box, and in the third image you can see the header package completed and waiting for FedEx pick up. Once FedEx (or any shipper) picks your package up, at that moment it legally belongs to FedEx. If your package arrives damaged, we can't start a claim for you with FedEx; that has to come from you. This is why we have always noted in our catalogs and on our website that you must keep your packaging and inspect the contents of your packages for damage. Many of you have seen the videos shown on news programs and posted online where certain delivery drivers have blatantly mistreated packages. While shipping companies have taken steps to limit this, it still does happen sometimes. The type of impact necessary to rip the top off of a box is pretty severe, and fortunately very rare: Since June of 2014 we've sold 246 "6-1" style headers, and had 0 returns. We lose money on almost all damaged packages since only you can claim shipping damage, and once you've received the package, thrown away the box and packing, and not contacted the shipper right away, a claim can no longer be filed. As has always been the case Motorsport absorbs the loss and takes care of our customers anyway. Somebody suggested that we don't mind, since we then sell the damaged parts in a scratch and dent sale. This is true, but it is solely cutting our losses. On almost any order with shipping damage, we'll end up losing money on the deal regardless. No business can succeed by losing money, and we're no different. Shipping damage doesn't occur very often, and Motorsport takes all reasonable steps to get as close to 100% non-damage as possible, without taking severe measures like suspending one box inside of another, which would increase the shipping charges drastically. In addition, with the type of impact necessary to do what has been shown online (the ripped open box), even a double box likely wouldn't have solved the problem, and with the number of problems being well below 1% of products shipped, we feel comfortable with the level of protection VS reasonable shipping and packaging fees. As far as forum presence and customer service, while we hope to soon have full time staff available to participate in this and other forums, for now we request that any questions or issues be sent to us directly. This can be done from 8-5 Monday through Friday or 9-1 Saturday through our toll free line (800)633-6331. You can also always send us an email to the general email box at info@motorsportauto.com. For even faster contact, simply note your sales technician's email address (or phone extension) from our help/contact page, and inquire directly of them. If you've ever left a message for your technician and didn't receive a response, first our apologies, and know that we recently (hopefully) solved an issue with our phone system where some messages were being routed to un-monitored extensions. If you've sent an email and not received a response, our apologies for that also, but know that even though we receive and respond to hundreds of emails every day, as far as we know we don't miss any. It can unfortunately happen at times, and sometimes in the electronic world we live in email communications don't even make it through. In any of these situations, please re-try contacting us, so we can take care of you. We consider every customer and every part important in this wonderful Z Enthusiast hobby we share. Thank you for your patience in this matter. Greg & Your Motorsport Team.

* Sunday Morning If you are showing your Z on the street, the Fire Department usually doesn't give their final OK to move cars onto the street until between 8 and 8:30 am. Some people just love the coffee, donuts, and banter in the early am huge line of 1970-2013 Z-Cars and show up real early (we find some lovable nuts in the line at 4am sometimes, ), but if that isn't your cup of coffee you can tack on to the end of the line sometime between 8 and 9. We hope to have all parked and access closed before 9:30. Entrance will be from Main Street heading North from Collins. If you are coming but not entering your Z, the street is full and things will be going strong around 10. Then the raffles start happening, the Gourmet food trucks show up, etc. If you aren't registering for the street, then you'll have to find parking around the neighborhood (industrial). Give us a call if you have any questions (800)633-6331. * Here is the final additions to the list of Z's that will be in the For Sale area!
