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 :-)

[Tristin]

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.

Was an adventure today for sure but we got a few things figured out. 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.

[q-tip]

Haha, one piece down a dozen or so to go

[freekwonder]

Hey at least I'm not chasing the MAF tail lol.

Registration is closed, but you can still attend. It just means you cant enter early and will have to wait in line to park once the show opens up. 

[TrashBagPosse]

thank you.

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:

[q-tip]

It was a supercharged vk swap btw

[Tristin]

Youre correct. It was announced at twin and once we scoped it out saw that it was supercharged. Good catch.

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. 

[q-tip]

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.

[jrock4224]

i want the gas cap on those goons.......lol........nice cars .....

[danfiveten]

Everyone wants the gas caps off goons LOL

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.
