man its going to cost me over $1500 to go to this meet. i might have to pass on this cause i just paid aroun $5k in moving expenses so im already hurting enough as it is. if i was still in missouri i would go for sure

[Largekid]

bump it back up...It looks like the roads have been cleared and already have had people on them. Who is ready to roll out!

[l0nestar]

I'm much closer now than I was this morning!

Let's keep this on the front page, shall we?

[elguapo260sx]

my motor is still in pieces, so in august if i have it in the car, i plan on coming.

[d356bud]

Well I snapped a bone in my foot, I'm hoping it'll heal in time for me to put the car back together.

[Sil240]

D356bud -
Damn that sucks to hear.
Hope you get better man.

Yeah I'm almost ready.
I changed the CTS and my car seems to be running better.
No more crazy rich situation.
I'm gonna try and time her and set the TPS tonight. When I drove her, she had crazy lag..

But if all goes well, I'm gonna throw in the Carl H tuned ECU and the big injectors and maf. :-)

From the TOTD site it looks like we chose a good date.
High of 77 deg, Low of 56 deg
4 inches of rain in the month.
So hopefully well have sunny skies.

This is gonna be an EPIC road trip!!!!

[l0nestar]

Brian,

Hadn't heard from you in a while. I'm still stoked.

[Sil240]

Yeah bro I kinda fell off the face of the earth.
But I'm getting back into the game again.
I just picked up some projectors I'm gonna try to fit them in my flip ups.

[youngmoney]

cant wait to see pics! hope all goes well....

[Sil240]

See the pics?????

Come out! !! If your RB isn't running rock a DD

[RustspecS13]

My Rb20 hatch will run that's for sure.

And it'll probably be caged by then. I'm going to make sure it has maximum clearance so I shouldn't have a problem driving it though.

I cant wait! Its coming up fast but there's still lots of time...

~Alex

[Sil240]

Just make sure hat you pad that cage. I'm sure you don't drive with your helmet on the street.

[RustspecS13]

Yeah I'll take every precaution I can. I work at a fabrication shop now so me and my boss will be bending it and I'll make sure its as far up and away from my head and the passengers as I can.

~Alex

[EVILS14]

2 months

[leesredgt]

I kinda wanna go to this.lol I should have the RB vert running by then!

[Sil240]

No!!!! You wanna go to this. This trip is going to be effing EPIC!!!! 40+ RB's storming the roads of TN is NT an everyday occasion

[Acecool]

Where is the dragon located?

EDIT: North Carolina... hmmm very tempting!

[Sil240]

How's everyones projects going????

I'm still having a bit of trouble with the car, but its looking good though.
Gonna be working on the car this weekend.
Hoping to get the big injectors, maf and ECU in the car this weekend.

Remember to book your hotel room with the group rate BEFORE Aug 1st.

LMK if you've booked, your room. I'll add you to the list.

Soo excited for this trip.
Its gonna be ridiculous!!!!

[RustspecS13]

Hey guys biggest thing MAKE SURE YOUR BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE!!! I took my maxima a couple years ago and my s13 last year, and I got the maxima to fade half way through and the s13 didn't really have a problem, both had stock brakes. But I wasn't able to really go hard on the s13 due to the rain earlier in the morning.

SO if I were you do a flush/bleed on your brakes with some Valvoline dot4, you can get it at advance I think its in a white/blue bottle. Also if you can make some brake ducts for the fronts!!

Trust me if your having fun your going to be punishing your brakes!!!

~Alex

[Sil240]

Alex -

Yeah I'm trying to get some Ferodo DS2500's for my car before the trip.
If not I'll just change the fluid and throw some new pads on.

I also have some SS brake lines for the back I've been slacking on putting in.

I'm still having issue's with my Idle, but ECUtalk is helping me out.
Come hell or high water I'm definetly making this trip.
If the 240 is outta comission, I'm gonna order up some Coilovers for my Altima do som quick prep work and ride out.

The last day for the NICO Group rate at Fontana Village is Aug 1st

Only 42 more days until we tear up The Dragon!!!!!!!!

[RED_DET]

Damn, gotta love me some Dragon. Been to 3 zdayz events and the driving atmosphere is insane. You all will not be disappointed, even if you aren't driving on the "Dragon", which will get old at times because of motorcycles and "slow" motorists. I been to (2) Nico events already this year, will have to see what I can do to make the trip. If any of you guys needs any parts before your trip let me know. Brake components, fluids, whatever, let me know. I am going to do my best to attend!!

I already rock the "Dragon" Sticker because I ain't no virgin.


It just dawned on me, they had some issues on the Dragon this year with a rock slide, which closed the roadway down. Has anyone checked to see if that has been corrected?

[RED_DET]

Just made a call to Fontana, the rock slide has been cleared up!

[toadx8u]

is anyone looking to roll in together...im coming from delaware but i know some others are coming down from the north east so i think a nice line of cars would look spectacular...so guys from PA, NJ, NY, MD? i googled the trip its just shy of 12 hrs from my place...

[d356bud]

ya I'm going to be heading down from NY. I'm most likely taking I-81 the whole way down. Its like 13hrs from me.

[toadx8u]

looks like my directions take me down 81 as well ill be picking it up in strasburg, md...maybe this would be a good spot for the North East guys to meet up and head down if interested...

[Carl H]

81 is tons of fun to drive as well, iirc you can hit the blueridge parkway from it.
i should be there...s14 is back to dd spec.

[l0nestar]

Alright everyone,

It has come to our attention that some of our fellow (non-RB) Nico brethren would like to participate.

So what say ye?

I say 'yes'.

[Sil240]

I'm down with opening the meet up to EVERYONE on NICO.

1- You guys are sleeping.
We only have 4 reservations, compared to the 40-45 people that wanted to go.

2- The more the merrier.

3- NICO Support, which they would do either way.

I was very happy to see the Mods messaged me about this.

Could everyon drop in their $0.02 on this issue?

We need to do this fast since, the Deadline for the group rate is coming up in a week.
AUG 1st....

[d356bud]

open it to all NICO memebers
