freekwonder Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Well she isn't running yet. Even with his ECU she wasn't running 100%, and I still need to get an ECU (he kind of needed his back lol), BUT it's a HUGE step in the right direction to diagnose the problems. After today I know for certain that: My ECU is bad my MAF is good my plug wires and rotor are good. but if I make it out, I'll still hook you up with that soda :-) Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 If you can work out a deal with JRock Ill be in his area this weekend. I can pick it up and drop it off at your place as I cruise back home late Sunday. Quote Link to comment

Hope we can actually get it going next time Yup, hopefully we can. Really appreciate all the help, and the tearing apart of your car in the rain. At least I know my MAF is good lol.

Tristin Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Someone get some oics up if you went. Was a pretty good time... Not as ricer as expected (though it had its moments for sure). The old schools definitely got some love and attention which was cool. Everyone stopped by to ask questions or drool which seems to not happen at a lot of "newer car" shows. 3 510s in the show area, maybe 3 S30s, and 5/6 Z31s. One S30 and one S130 doing autocross. I didnt take many show photos, but here are some shots of the JNCs I saw: Show was decently heavy sprinkles the first maybe hour or so we were there, but it cleared up fine and the sun even came out for a bit. Drifting was cool to watch with a few crashes and some great near hits that were pulled off at the last second. Some cool cars on the track with my favorite being a Canadian 4dr. R33 with a twin turbo VK56 swap. Overall had a great time and Im glad I went. Wouldnt be a meet without a Datsun breaking down so a shout out goes to Angelina who apparently ran out of gas due to malfunctioning gauges and my ass who had a loose negative battery cable which honked at in the line to board the ferry on the way home :blush: Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 It was a supercharged vk swap btw Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 It was a supercharged vk swap btw Youre correct. It was announced at twin and once we scoped it out saw that it was supercharged. Good catch. Quote Link to comment
robopineapple Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Wish I could have made it :( my buddie went with his audi a4 on air if any of you saw it though! Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 First real pics ive evver seen from that show....and truthfully i can tell i wouldnt hae been satisfied if i had driven up there :( lol. Just seems like a parking lot with everything parked everywhere, i miss it at gg, felt more like a car show even in the pics. Maybe ill come up next year, just depends. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 It was way better than I expected. The last time I did "nissanfest" it was the last gg show. Not quite as much asshatery as I thought there would be. The drifting was funner to watch than I expected too, mainly because of the multiple v8 swapped car, the 4dr vk powered skyline was probly the favorite in the group. No oics from me, can't take them for shit. Quote Link to comment

Just seems like a parking lot with everything parked everywhere, i miss it at gg, felt more like a car show even in the pics. Maybe ill come up next year, just depends. It was well organized. There was the "show area" which was all the cars neatly parked, you could group up with your club, and if not it was all sectioned off by model. There was a huge parking lot for just normal attendees and that was all free for all. I mean, the show isnt for everyone and it wasnt perfect, but it was a great time. I really wish more Ratsun guys would have shown to hang out with... If the show is like this next year or even better (hopefully) Ill be going again for sure. Quote Link to comment
