Enclosed is the flier with gift information etc. This would be fantastic if we could get at least a group of 10 to show up to this event. Afterward i would be happy to have a bbq hosted at my place.

I need to get a feeler on this so i can start to situate a place for us to all meet. So lets do this for the kids that can really use the support while going through sometimes painful treatments.

Who's in?

im in!!!

Tempestz 11-22-2013 12:47 AM

superdave, you know im down to help out if you need it. I have a shop on base we can do all the work at!!!

SuperDave 11-22-2013 12:58 AM

Yea, they came early, not sure if I want to wait until after turkey day...

First page post looks great. Thanks for coordinating the meeting spot and times CB. Everyone else, if you haven't looked, GO LOOK. All the logistics are there. We are scheduled to "drive across the finish line" at a specific time to donate toys and take pictures. Also note, this is a rain or shine event, they have a backup plan for the event to be in the parking garage if it is raining (I'm looking at you Ninja...). They also encourage bringing kids if you have em. Let's make this awesome!

Let's see, taking the car out in December with a 0.01% chance of rain means Ninjas out. Meeting at 8am means Shoelace will still be up drinking from the night before so he's out...:ohsnap1::ninja3: C'mon guys, prove me wrong!

SuperDave 11-22-2013 05:21 PM

Was google image searching 68 Datsun 2000 and came across this. The owner of THIS CAR is named Eric, and he lives in Modesto. That's as far as a google search got me. CB, MB37, see what you can find out, this car is :leghump:

I'll bring my DSLR to the rally for kids thing. I'll try to be a paparazzi to get as many photos as possible. I have a 64gb card, but my battery only lasts for ~500 pics. Should be plenty though

Whats up all, was doing some forward looking at track schedules for next year; this is Nasa Norcal's current schedule for next year. Id like to do one or two track weekends before it starts to get hot and am looking at the Feb Sonoma run. I know its fairly close after Christmas but I am going to try to make it happen. Anyone interested? It would be awesome to learn a new track along with one of you guys, plus you always meet some cool people, who knows, might be some other 370Zs there. :stirthepot:

MB37 11-25-2013 01:18 PM

I was actually looking up track days at Thunderhill. Haven't even thought about going to Sonoma. Are these track events a full two day thing? Depending on my work schedule, I can only go either a Sat or Sun, but sadly not both =\

ValidusVentus 11-25-2013 03:44 PM

Yea they last 2 days but you can register for either day individually as well (well, on the east coast I know you could register for just Saturday and I am pretty sure just Sunday too). I'm sure I will be going to thunderhill as well this year but Sonoma is pretty close... and we can get some practice in on Forza! Lol

Oh and don't bother looking at any track web pages for accurate schedules... seems like no one ever updates them. Gotta look at the actual racing organizations sites, such as NASA.

MB37 11-25-2013 04:21 PM

Well for Thunderhill I was looking at the Grip Drift Skid group that goes there, but they only have 6 events for next year.

I'd love to go to some of these. I just need to get a better helmet and an oil cooler. ill be ready. keep me updated on the ones you guys go to. ill see if I can get a few more to come out with me too.

MB37 11-25-2013 06:43 PM

Yeah, an oil cooler is on the list for my next mod, but so damn expensive =\ When I find out my schedule in the new year, I'll find out for sure which ones I can go to.

I went with this kit.

Oil Cooler Kits - Oil Cooler Kit with Thermostat

the only thing i would suggest is getting the hoses professionally clamped or prefabbed. Everything works like a charm on mine and you're not spending a ridiculous price on a "brand named" oil cooler kit that does the same sshit as the above kit does.

ValidusVentus 11-25-2013 09:34 PM

Yeah you definitely need an oil cooler and better brake fluid and possibly pads. As Feb gets closer I'll be sure to check back in with you all. Its not like we wont be seeing e/o anyway. Anybody else planning on going to any track events or questions or ideas/whatever, let me know. Enjoy Thankgiving! Hopefully you guys get a long weekend. By the way, if the helmet is what holds you back (it is a bit of cash) I have a spare one hardly used that you could barrow. It fits me well, snug but not tight and I wear a 7-1/4" hat (translates to medium/large)

ValidusVentus 11-25-2013 10:32 PM

Ran across this: STILLEN Gold Series Oil Cooler Kit - Performance 400643 | STILLEN

Stillen is running sale prices on oil coolers this coming Saturday too.

NINJA 11-25-2013 11:09 PM

Hooked on driving rents helmets at their events. $25 for the day.

Wow that's one heck of a deal. So tempting :icon14:

Tempestz 11-25-2013 11:31 PM

The helmet you need for a track event has to be a snell 2010 approved or higher. Some motorcycle helmets will work. Some are only DOT approved though. So just check it out and see if it's approved.

Yeah oil cooler is the next thing on my list! I'll check those things out. Thanks guys.

CB- that oil cooler from race parts warehouse. You just bought the kit and had the fittings crimped and that's all you needed to do? That's an awesome deal

that's actually really good price for a Stillen oil cooler! but I would have to say the kids that I purchased is still a better deal. I paid about $300 for the kit with the 24 Row cooler and sandwich plate. the only thing that I would say would be missing would be the name brand. on the hard canyon run that we had a couple weeks ago the car never got over 220 degrees. save your money and go with the kit that isn't as expensive but still does the same job.

I didn't want to deal with the braided lines on that particular kit so I went with the push fittings. unfortunately something went bad with a push fitting and I had a couple of leaks. So myotor made a custom pair of hydraulic hose lines and fittings that prevent it from leaking now. I'm sure if I went with the braided lines it might have been a different story.
