datsunfish Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 So we just got back last night from a 10 day vacation in Hawaii. I have never been anywhere tropical in my life and I must say it was hard to leave. We spent 2 days in Maui and then the rest at sunset beach north shore Oahu. The house there is owned by Christian Lassen who is famous for super cheesy paintings of dolphins. The place was rented by my wifes brother who got married there on 8-8-08. Altogether it was a great relaxing vacation but now its back to work and life as usual. I saw this 510 at the Maui aquarium. I also saw a white 620 in Maui and another yellow 510 at sunset beach on the way out of town. We also owe a ton of thanks to Datdoug for being a great friend and driving us to and from the airport.

datsunfish Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My wife wants to live there. She says"see look,they have datsuns here". Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Maui Raceways, drag racing every summer weekend. Datsuns race there. But racing stops end of October during the months most visitors come :-( There was a hot Datsun 1200 race car there. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 they do have Datsuns there. Twice the price as an East Coast Datsun and twice as hard to find. :D looks like fun. I want to live there some day. I probably will. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 there are at least 2 808ers on here! w/goons! :thumbup: i was in HI(big island) over fathers day for week. not enough time :cool: Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Been to Kauai a couple times and stayed with a friend both times. It's awesome, especially when you're more with the locals and not the tourist crowd. If you go to Kauai and don't spend any time doing at least some long day hikes you're completely missing out. Kalalau is easily one of the best, if not the best, hikes I've ever been on (x2). :cool::cool::cool: Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 i wanted to go on a hike or two but i couldn't get away long enough. but i did drive around the island and see some beautiful sights. wanted to hit glass beach but i couldn't find it. oh well. maybe next time. so we spent some of the time just relaxing. where we stayed had a sand bottom pool and hot tub. nice to relax in at night and read. we went in early december so the temps were perfect for my likeing. 80* weather and i was comfortable. a hard thing for me to be. someday i will go back adn island hop. i want to see all the sights and drive every island. hell maybe just drive and find the sights along the way :D Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just got back from family business on Oahu. The nickel ads had a 2 for 1 510 deal. One looked like a runner and one was parts. $2K. They ARE they, but they're hard to find, expensive and probably have rust. Also saw a gold roadster (WHOA!) in Waipahu and, just as I was slowing down to get a better look, a blue dime passed me. :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 lol :D Now I know what "808DA6" means. Quote Link to comment
sdsurf Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I go to oahu every november to surf and then again in the spring. I have many friends there and would love to live there. I have even had job ops but my wife says no... Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 lol :DNow I know what "808DA6" means. Yea. It would be "808-521" but my Integra came first. :fu: Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Lived on O'ahu from 1977-1989. Honeymooned in Hana. Never planned to leave. I tan dark, used to speak passable Pidgin and be crazy like loco boys (I'd swim in the Ala Wai after canoe practice! :eek: ) However, crazy crowded-expensive-no jobs, and my green-eyed blonde wife had plenty problems with locals, so we moved to Washington State. The only way I'd go back and live there was if I didn't have to work. Definitely miss living in slaps and shorts. Almost 20 years in the Great PacificNW Rain Festival...sigh... Sure could go for some shave ice w/ black bean from Matsumotos in Haleiwa. :D Quote Link to comment
datsun65 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Lots of Datsun have been in Hawaii. Was in Maui 3-4 years ago visiting and scared the heck out of a local when I yelled & screamed for him to pull over in his Datsun 521. When he pulled over he was thrilled to talks datsuns. Here is an old newspaper article and photo from 1967 of my old CSP311 Silvia which owned in Hawaii by Elroy Goto (Former NIssan Race Car Driver) Quote Link to comment
