Hmmm. I would advise against doing that, but If that hardtop is on securely, and you pass tech otherwise, we'll let you run.

Hey thanks butters! yea i talked to a couple of great guys at

http://www.best1tuning.com/contactus.html

and their sending me another ecu...over night so it will be here sunday! also they said that if JMI wouldnt warranty the broken ecu that I could send it to them and they would look it over and check to see if they could repair it they have a high success rate of fixing ecus only 50 bux to fix plus shipping

anyways I got that brand new harness and the black with purple on the s13 is the fuel pump we'll through that harness in and see if we cant wire it up! with the new ecu that ill get this weekend...if theres anyone else out there that has wired up an sr20det into a s13 ka chassi and would offer some assistance that would be a huge help and i could through some ching your way for the help...all i need to do is extend the mas and what not and check the wiring and fix the timing since we orginally tried to adjust that to get it to start when the ecu was fried the whole time

Thanks again guys!

Hey guys, as much as I feel for you with a car that won't run, this isn't the place to discuss. Check out the 240sx forum or the rwd sr20det for help.

That would be great if you can. The biggest crowds will be there on Sat/Sun, but there should be several of us there Friday. We'll need help with tech and registration.

Thanks.

If you're planning to drift, I don't see Friday track time as a problem since there are not many non-driving volunteers required to operate it.

Friday autocrossing, however, will be dependant on the number of non-driving volunteers we get.

I don't believe you'll be able to get into the Fairgrounds until the gates open at 8:00 each day. I'm sure Greg, Torry and I will already be there when you arrive.

Yes, those blue barrels will be available if you want some stategically placed. I drove by the fairgrounds yesterday (while on the PA Turnpike) and saw about a dozen of them already on the course.

I'm sure the Carlisle website (Carlisleevents.com) will have something about season tickets and whether it's worthwhile to go that route rather than individual events or days. As far as hookups or caravans, I think the roll call thread or hotel threads might help you get hooked up. I'm sure there will folks willing to share rooms.
