Looking for Green Death Machine
Looking for this car. No, it is not stolen, just sold and sold again and kinda drifted out of sight and want to know where it is and if it is active. This is the way it looked in 2008. The last owner was in Idaho and military. Included to show colour of stripes which are basically impossible to see in photos: Included only to clearly show stripes and wheels as they were originally only because both show up so poorly in pictures: If you have seen this car at any time in the past 5 years I would love to hear where and how. I have a funny feeling it is parked in a field somewhere. Stephen McConnell 805-441-6856 ZVOITURE@gmail.com facebook.com/stephen.mcconnell.982

Yet another thermostat housing thread
Have you considered replacing the stat housing? I wouldn't even mess with that old crap. After 30 years, that's usually the way to go. -OR- I have seen several where the cover bolts were drilled all the way through and a nut put on the other end of a new longer bolt. steve

Have one of those corners?
Sorry to rain on the parade, folks, but GET A LIFE. Get off the road. Driving like this on public roads is not just illegal, it's......oh, nevermind. Hopefully when Darwin comes knocking--and he will-- someone minding their own business will not be coming the other direction. Learn where your car 'breaks free' in a parking lot--or better yet--on a skidpad at a driving school. But most importantly: Learn what to do when it does 'break free'. I know you all think you are 'above average' drivers and have perfect control and 'know how to drive', but anyone stupid enough to muse about the properties of car balance as they apply to their favorite local twisty obviously does not. steve

Z Convention Track Day info
Ok everyone with just one week to go I have gotten the last relevant details and this will be a long but informative note. We are getting many interested people but not the overwhelming response I thought we may get but maybe some of these final details willl sway people to sign up. We have confirmed that John Morton and Bob Bondurant and Steve Millen will be there for sure and there is a Possibility that Pete Brock may also make it if he returns from LeMans in time. Of course Mr.K will be there as well and I have decided that our track day will become a tribute to the man that got Datsun into racing outside of Japan so he is also the Father of Datsun racing and we hope we can put on a good show for him. Have had questions all over the board so I will try to answer them all with the following The gates open at 7:30 AM. We will commence a drivers meeting that everyone must attend or you cannot drive(No Exceptions) If we have to have another meeting in case you get lost or there is traffic issues then we will consider doing that as well. Drivers Meeting 8 AM- 8:30 AM Tech inspection of Group one cars 7:30-8:30(tech explained below) First group out by 9 AM First group consists of people with little or no experience on a track or want to have a passenger or an instructor or want to follow an experienced driver around the track. No Passing and there will be a pace car for the whole session. This group will also have any convertables that do not have legal competition rollbars While group one is out for 20-30 minute session group 2 cars will be getting teched. and gridded Group 2 Will be People with very little or some minimal track experience or perhaps autoX experience. Group 2 will go a little faster than group 1 cars also passengers will be allowed and again No Passing will be permited and the pace car will be your lead for this group. If requested there will be more lead follow for this group. Driver instruction would be encouraged in this group if you feel the need. Convertables will be allowed in this group but their speed will have to be kept down due to track rules. Dress code for above 2 groups is that shorts are OK and there are NO Shorts at all in the rest of the groups Group 3(My Nightmare group) This will consist of people who think they can drive well enough and have some other track day experiences maybe some driving schools and AutoX experience. This group will have a kind of catch all feel as there will be driver training availible and passing will be allowed only on the straight aways and you will be monitered very carefully and if you do stupid stuff you will be brought in and talked to if you presist in doing stupid stuff you will be asked to leave. We are not interested in you showing us all your driving abilities it is meant to be fun. No showing off will be tolerated at all. Group 4( The absolute tribute to Mr K.) Ayone who shows up with a full race Datsun/Nissan will be allowed in this group and sure should be fun to watch. Do not try to talk your way into this group with your AutoX car because if it does not have a fuel cell and fire system etc you will not be allowed to race. This group will be able to have a real race. There will be a very diverse group of cars on the track and proper race ettiquette will be followed with emphasis on safety and fun. We want Mr K to see what he started and that keeps us all broke. A fantastic AutoX is being planned by Dennis and Peggy Hale who will also do some specialized Driver training over on the Street of Willow Race track. These 2 very experienced Datsun Racers from Northern Cal put on a bunch of drivers school and track events including the Big Mt Shasta annual event. If you are serious about your AutoX they will have a No-nonsense event. If there is enough interest in Driver training then we will plan accordingly as of now it seems everyone not only knows how to drive but wants to be an instructor. Nismo will be hosting a drifting event on the streets of willow at some time during the day and from what I have heard this is something to see and much more difficult than you may think. Now for some final things The track normally charges anyone coming through the gate $10 we got them to lower that amount to $5 dollars so be aware that even though you paid for the event this is a track charge and helps the track to keep their services running. Dress code If you are AutoX or in the first 2 groups you can we shorts if you are in groups 3 you will be required to have at least long pants or a race suit and if you are in group 4 you will have correct race gear as you would to race anywhere. Flags and flagging We will use a minimum of flags so as not to confuse drivers and they will be discussed in the MANDATORY drivers meeting. Tech inspection of cars We hope you will all bring safe non-leaking cars that you have taken some time to be sure of your own safety. We would expect similar things that you may see at an autoX tech. Safe correct tires for the group you choose to run Batterys correctly held down Throttle return springs in correct position and redudant so that we have no stuck throttles. Recommend you have a fresh bleed of your brake and clutch system. and please carry extra water since it will be warm out there in the high desert. Your seat belts should not be frayed or worn and should be current if a Race car. The height of the brake pedal may be checked to see if you have brakes. Please check your cooling system as we do not want to have a bunch of overheating cars and as I said carry extra water. If you show up with a marginal car and hope we are all carrying parts to fix yours it ain't gonna happen. Please remove most of you non essential stuff and leave it at the hotel or realize that there is no security team running around the pits watching your stuff. Helmets You should really have your own if possible and we are trying to find some extras we can allow motorcycle helmets for the first 2 groups onlyl and prefer Snell 95 at least and newer snell 2000 if you are in the race group. if you have a helmet it will be checked during tech. Lunch This track has a very good snack bar that serves very good lunch at very good prices so that is up to each person to take your lunch when ready. We will have plenty of drinking water for everyone and other normal track services will be availible but on a limited basis. If you want to have in car cameras than we would prefer you have a proper camera mount if you are in the first 2 groups your passenger may be your camera man. I had asked that questions be directed to me and I think I got 2-3 at most and everyone still sent request for info to the club so I say again if you have questions that I did not address please ask me. I have gotten only questions asking if I can have everyone be an instructor and no we have more than enough so some need to sign up to be drivers and have some fun. I have most likely forgotten something so I won't say this will be the last message but it should be one of the last posts on the subject of the track day.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who take responsibility for their failure to follow the law and those who cry, "It wasn't my fault!!!" Oh, and I totally agree with you. You DEFINITELY weren't following too close. Stupid cops. steve
