We started with an idea in 2006; create a performance-oriented Z31 forum where people can share ideas, learn and be inspired. Since then I have never, for even one second, regretted it. [b]This forum has grown to have the most knowledgeable and creative members of any Z31 forum. More topics have been covered and information shared here in one month than I see on other forums in a year. You guys are what makes this Z31Performance forum into an online community, and one I'm very proud to be a part of.
I have had some additional inhibitions to any forms of forum sponsorship or ownership. I believe that having one or more people (too much) "in control" of what you think, hear and see on the forum is just outright censorship. I see and hear about this on other sites, and it sometimes makes me sick. I'm not saying forums don't need moderators to the members to exercise some restraint, but rather that I have never believed in a dictatorship by "Insert name here, FORUM OWNER"
"Sponsors":
I have decided to allow sponsorship of the forum by companies or individuals directly tied in some way to the Z31. This will not only help cover administrative fees I have been absorbing, but also aid in helping the site grow and expand into a true magnet for performance-minded Nissan freaks like us.
This sponsorship is currently a very reasonable US$125/year and permit a banner advertisement on the new introduction page to Z31Performance.com
"Donating Members":
Obviously, anyone is welcome to donate to help cover server costs and encourage us to expand and improve the site. You can make a difference by donating via paypal, or sending me a check or money order. This will also buy you the rank title of "Donating Member" on the forum or any other rank should you want it! PM me for details.
Thanks for Reading; I'll step down off my soap box now.

Sick, i like the new front page thing
Signal 12: (2006-09-02 12:42:05)
right on, front page looks wicked. Is there a link for 300+ parts?
Jason, any feedback for the founding member pm I sent you?
Jason84NA2T: (2006-09-02 21:38:15)
The new intro page is up, you can check it out! I'll be making some additions and revisions in my free time including moving z31performance to it's own server account so it won't have to forward to redz31.com and be associated with me personally.
http://www.300-plus.com - thanks, link on intro page is fixed.

Sent a few bux and I'll try to do it once in a while as the budget permits. Don't care about the donating member designation, just keep up the good work.
This site has been invaluable to me at a time when I really need it.
