I've been devoting more time on the KA threads, but I've popped up on 240/Sylvia and (gasp) GenChat.I'm all about setting up a mini-meet before the end of this nice weather season, but my attempts in the past have pretty much been dismal failures with less than 4 people showing.We really should get together a group of Nissans for another BBQ.
I agree, though I would also like to do a cruise somewhere. I want to get more pictures like these from this spring.

I'd be up for that. Just need to get my transmission leak fixed (not a seal, the drain bolt is F'ed) and my tie rods replaced (rear ones needed too (discovered that last weekend). Then a cruise is definitely in order.

I need to at least get this B13 in order. It got beat and neglected pretty hard by the last owner. Hell, it had a fuel cut with a switch taped to the shifter.

Possibly hoping for a nifty swap next year.

I'll be getting my tranny fixed this week, hopefully driveshaft fixed as well.I can live with the tie rods as they are for now- I'll swap those over the winter. Everything else is good as is.So that begs the question, when can we get a cruise up and running. I know saturdays suck for Ian, so Sundays may be best. And I'm not free until the 19th.So October 19th anyone?Gather somewhere around the TCs, cruise up north and find some fun roads, find a local dive restaurant, eat crappy food, drive back, taking pictures along the way...

I will be out of town Oct 17 - 19 for Lake Superior Performance Rally. I am servicing for a team out of Chicago.

I would really like to participate, but I cant make it that weekend. As far as availability, I can get any day off if needed, as long as I have advance notice.

quick check in from St. Paul. I guess I have to search the threads more often as I have been wanting to meet some other MN nissan owners and see some of the rides the north can offer. Unfortunatly I will be at my sisters wedding on 19th so that won't work. oh well.

I think the 19th may also be an autoX- don't know if that affects any NICO members- I only saw 2 350Zs at the last one.I'm also open on the 11th, 25th, and 26th.

Hey Ajax, do you drive a white coupe? I saw a lowered 240 on Lake street probably like a month ago and was wondering if it was you /end thread jack

Nope. Mine's red and black- you'll know it when you see it. Or whenever I post a decent picture (coming soon I swear Ian!).But that is my area. Hate Lake street right now with all the construction.

Hey whats up everyone, I'm building an SR20DET for a 240sx I have yet to buy.. lol I'm obsessed with building engines i guess!!! My brother has a 96' 240sx 5 speed with a built ka24de in it just saving the cash to turbo it now. I am looking for a 240sx of any year in good shape to drop the SR into. Were up in Bemidji MN.

Haven't talked to Andy, but I did notice. But I've been preoccupied with work, show and serving jury duty. I'll see if I can get an update when I've got more time.

Red93coupe- you want a Stillen Front strut brace. I've got my dad's old one off his 97 (that should still fit right?) which I need to finish cleaning.

I definitely want to do a cruise in the spring. I'll probably start a thread sometime in late winter.

I know that place, a couple buddies of mine live just down 96 from there. You may have noticed a red S13 hatch in a driveway on the N side of 96. It was my buddy Ryan's car.

Same guy, he has a green Integra too. He sold the S13, it had all sorts of problems, he bought it for a beater.

You may have also noticed a red Integra in the driveway for a while, thats one of my cars, I had loaned it to one of the guys living there for like 2 months.
