  1. Oh, now I wish I went. Did you get any contact info from this guy? This really needs to get to the JCCS! Were the Yamaguchi's there? I hope Terry got to talk to him.
  2. That Rocked! Greg is smooth. L motors sing pretty at 7,500 RPM
  3. We had some starts. "Absolute Z" started 3 years ago. We had some good meets. My experience with Sothern Californians and car clubs is you need to go ether Way Formal, with dues, presidents, treasurers, news letters - Or - Completely informal. The informal has worked for us in the Roadster scene here. SoCalROC is a fast and loose dis-organization that works like this. Wanna meet/Run/breakfast/Picnic/etc? Announce it. If two cars show, that's cool, if 4 cars- call it a success - 8 is a smash hit club meeting! If someone asks "How do I join the club?" The answer is, "You just did!". We don't have a committee or even a web site. We just use 311s.org, the roadster version of classiczcars.com to announce events. Don't even debate the events, or they'll never happen - just do it and it will turn out one way or another. Allow no politics, or you'll have a debate club, not a car club. So, you want a club? I'll join. You can call it LAZ for all I care. I'd like it better that way
  4. +20?!?!?!?! Not a chance. They'll fit a 240SX nice
  5. I just uploaded another video - hope you al enjoy it!
  6. I have a ralley clock and no oscilator. I've been waiting for someone to find an inop one and perform reverse engineering. I wil help fund such a venture for the renumeration of a working unit!!
  7. Right, It's the LZ22 block prepared by Ermish Racing. The PO had it done, so I know very little about it. I think it's set up in the "Long Rod 2.1" configuration (what ever that means!). Once again my little knowalge on L motor prepping strikes again. The head is the L16 SSS that was tooled by Rebello. 44 mm intakes is the only spec I know on the head work. As ChrisA posted, I covered the advertised specs in a previous post. I'm still learning the car. It pleased me alot on the iron Bottom, it made nice noises and went strong with no problems. 300 miles a day of hard driving is a dam good test! I was not as confident in it's handling as I am in the roadster - but considering I have 12 years of seat time in the roadster, that's understandable.
  8. If ya gots a high speed connection, check out a 10 minute video from day three of the NFIBMT. This is on Nacemiento-Fergusson Road from Camp Hunter Ligget, Over the coastal range to Pacific Coast Highway. Ed Pasini, The founder of the NFIBMT was my Co-Pilot for day three. Don't mind our chatter, Listen instead to the car as we steam down this very narrow, winding mountain road. More to follow. PS - Leave a comment and a rating!
  9. Gary, On your way down that saterday morning, Stop at Solvang for the Datsun Roadster Show!
  10. I also have a Daikin. I hear bad thinks about the centerforce units. I never had one so can't confirm.
  11. Hey, I paid 9 grand for my rust bucket (true, with lots of go fast goodies) - This car looks pretty good to me. That fact that it was a prototype offered to Nissan to propose a BRE promotional package adds alot. However, it would have added even more if the paint laid down by the Painter had not been disturbed. I've had a good long look at my "iron oxide special" over the last few weeks as I've nutted and bolted for my up coming long ride. Whew, amazing how much you find after you buy the advertised "Rust Free Car". I shook my head and said "If I wrap it around a tree this April, I'll find me a nice shell, paint it then swap over all the goodies".
  12. It's this type of photos and dialog that makes our photo gallery priceless.
  13. Lockwood Valley Road runs from Frazier Park, off the grapevine to the 33, which runs down to Ojai.
  14. We went on a little jaunt last Sunday, through our local SoCal mountains. I made a vid by mounting the cam via a suction cup to my fender. Enjoy if your a DSL user. Dailups beware
  15. In absents of any formal religion, the NFIBMT is now my annual Hajj for spiritual cleansing and enlightenment. Instead of three times around the holy of holy's, I have opted for a run down Naciemento Ferguson Road. This, I consider an appropriate act of worship for a sports car fanatic.
  16. $4,000 in 2002. Lots more on the fiddly bits. Details herein: http://www.classiczcars.com/modules.php?name=Journal&file=viewjournal&id=20

THERE ARE NO FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENTS OUR MOTTO: NON CRANIUS INVERTUS RECTUMUS 9th Annual No Frills Iron Bottom Motoring Tour NON CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS Why This is a No Frills Event and What you need to Know One of the disorganizers has driven the entire route, but he has an unreliable metric odometer, so all mileage is estimated. Use a map and your best judgment. The California map provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California, includes most of the roads on this tour (some roads are not well marked). Even the guy who lays out the route gets lost. If you have a GPS BRING IT Start with a full fuel tank. Gas is available at several locations but there are some long stretches without gas. Keep your tank topped off. You will need your drivers license, car registration and proof of current insurance to gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett Carry a cell phone.
