DaveM Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Am I the only truck coming? Ahhh, quick scan of the registration list says yes, for now. But I have a lot of "maybes" from other truck owners. You coming with Elliot M? Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I ran into another little hick up. I have three sets of wheels all needing 1 new tire. Now I have to sort which ones are getting new rubber. I nearly got the new fuel filler hose in after a while trying to get that thing in there. That should get it running again. we'll soon know.

///FiveOneOh Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 anybody from the 604 or from the states that wants to criuse I think I will bve headed up on Fri evening I'd be happy to convoy up. I will be there but if its going to be in a Datsun is still up in the air.. Might be a Cosworth. So far in one month my wagons has gone from semi rolling shell to what resembles a car. This is with work from 8-5 and school till 9 mondays and wedsdays. Many late nights to say the least. I fired up the KA a few days ago only to find the fuel in my tank was more sludge than gas... cleaned out the tank but the damage has been done my injectors are fubar. I have 6 sets of wheels... and no tires at all... none of my wheels fit under my fenders and my camber plates won't fit my shock stem. Goal is to have it on the road this weekend!

DaveM Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Motivation time... I have heard from plenty of Datsun owners indicating how much they would love to come to the event in Kelowna but this or that isn't done on their car. Hogwash I say! ;) Get to work and we'll see you there. YOU CAN DO IT! :thumbup: Here is my car today (yes it is on jackstands) Quote Link to comment

DaveM Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Today, April 30, is the deadline to register if you want to be guaranteed to receive swag from our sponsors.

Z chopper Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 just about tempted to register even if I am unable to go just for the swag Quote Link to comment
DaveM Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 ...but how will you get the swag if you aren't going? Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 trying to figure that out Quote Link to comment
72dat Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 well it seems the primary family mobile is experiencing some technical difficulties so what little time i had to spare for the datsun is going to be spent on the windstar. I sure hope this years Matsuri is a success and will be happening next year because i am really bummed about not getting the car there and am already planning on it for next year...I might even have a real paint job by then. I will be there to ogle this year though. Quote Link to comment
DaveM Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Time for an official registration update: There are 33 registered participants (with plenty more still interested and intending to come but not registered yet). My best guess is we'll see about 50-55 when all is said and done and 60sh isn't out of the realm of possibility. Vehicles Represented Roadsters - 9 (plus me) 510s - 9 Zs - 7 ZXs - 5 Trucks - 2 SX - 1 Where you're coming from Alberta - 13 (Nice showing Alberta. Having to drive the farthest out of this group you deserve a pat on the back but I know there are still some fence sitters out there) BC - 18 (Way to go BC, but this is right in your back yard. BC, shoot for 30!) Washington - 2 (Okay you Washington guys, you can do this. There has to be more than 2 of you with passports). Quote Link to comment
Cahoon520 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Is anybody interested in meeting in Calgary and rolling together that Friday in the am. Ishould be in Calgary by 9:30-10 am John Quote Link to comment
DaveM Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 John, I know there are some folks from Calgary and Arnold the Roadster guy from the Hat who are likely interested. I'll hook you up closer to the event but keep seeing if there are any ratsunites that are going. Quote Link to comment
