Guest Mojo510 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 We will be having our monthly meeting at Wilsonville Nissan Wednesday the 20th at 7, however one of the things we will be discussing is the possibility moving meeting to a different location, day and time, it would be at a shop, indoor with room for 20 plus cars, my idea is to have 10-15 minutes of business then after get out in shop and show what you've done and any future plans. A mini swap meet and bench racing BS session at each meeting. I plan on attending plenty of shows and other club events like Red Door, Datsloco, NW datuns, BADass, Woodburn import faceoff, auto crosses and track days this year, along with DatsunsNW cruises. I'd like to see more of us getting together for these. Steve Pepka DatsunsNW Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Welcome Steve!! As you mentioned in the other thread, I think moving meeting date to a weekend is a great idea. I think it's safe to say, you have our (ratsun) support. Dave did a good job, but I'm looking forward to seeing where you take things. 2 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I would love to do my part for DNW. The 240 mile gap between us makes that a bit difficult. Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think the hose is to high or pump is faulty so there gets an air pocket in the long hose that goes to pump.. I have installed higher temp thermostat and one of those old tech inline hose filler things in the line but ,, since i installed i have been either to busy or it has been raining to hard to care to try out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Did you check if the valve is opening in the heater core?, a buddy of mine went nuts chasing the same issue once and it was the valve, it would turn from the outside, but the shaft was seized up in the semi closed position so it looked as if it was working but it wasn't due to the shaft being snapped....

nickelpistol Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is great Steven, I look forward to attending more DNW meetings and taking part in the festivities. Your new location sounds like a great spot. Don't forget to bring donuts. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I should be able to attend for once. The old location was WAY to far for me to commute. And with kids it made it impossible. Now i can stop by while im working downtown. 1 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 And you should add blue lake to that list, you and everyone are always welcome :) 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I left the house to go to this(I was late though) and when I arrived at the I5 bridge in Vancouver the on ramp was backed about half a mile to get on the hiway/bridge, I turned around and went back home. We need minimum speed limits in this area like they have in other cities, them people move in them places, and the ones that can't drive either say off the hiways there, or it seems that they are moving here. :( Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 How can you go the posted speed minimum if there are cars ahead of you parked or going slower caused by the congestion (traffic jam) you are trying to eliminate? Have a cop walk down the line handing out tickets? Only way to move traffic at maximum speed is more lanes (maybe) or less cars. You going home did more to help than increasing the minimum speed limit. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Obviously you have not been to LA, I can drive with them people, they get in their car to go somewhere, not to park on the hiway. But when they have a wreck down there, they have a wreck and everything stops, but at least there is a reason to be stopped, the others on the other side of the freeway are still moving, around here both sides come to a stop, sometimes because of a person with a flat, both freaking sides of the hiway because of a car with a flat on one side. I am self employed, I also have quite a few customers that came from southern CA amoung other places, I have actually heard one of them say that they moved from there because they were scared to drive down there, so it seems they came here to slow everyone down. I say if someone is not doing the speed limit and a lot of cars/trucks/semi trucks are having to pass them, and especially so if they have to pass them on the right, give them a ticket, once they get 3 tickets, take their licence. How can you go the posted speed minimum if there are cars ahead of you parked or going slower caused by the congestion (traffic jam) you are trying to eliminate? Have a cop walk down the line handing out tickets? Only way to move traffic at maximum speed is more lanes (maybe) or less cars.

KoHeartsGPA Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wayno, how long ago you been to LA? I'm down there every week....from 2pm to 8pm you'll travel 15 miles in 2 hours :rofl: Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I guess that every time I have went down there or was driving thru, it has been either in the winter or a winter holiday like Thanksgiving, most of the time I was driving was during the late evening from places like Sylmar to San Bernardino or from San Bernardino to Lake Elsinore, or in the morning going from the motel to the flying site which is not on the freeway, we also have drove to Torrey Pines from San Bernardino and back, I can only remember once not driving fast, and that was when I was trying to get out of LA going north during rush hour(early evening), but they were still moving, just not freeway speeds. Around here they just stop on the freeway, most the time I cannot even figure out why, but I am not looking around everywhere either, I am concentrating on driving my car instead of other things. Wayno, how long ago you been to LA? I'm down there every week....from 2pm to 8pm you'll travel 15 miles in 2 hours :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 The meeting to today was a huge success, but not much of a meeting, more a Datsun hangout. Definitely a good time. 1 Quote Link to comment
