WHOS FAT WHOS NOT. The First annual FAT CAR DAY

[blu808]

Hey guys, heres the deal. I want to have a meet so everyone can chill, talk cars, and best of all weigh their cars for free. The meet will be at Happy dayz diner in campbell. ( same spot as the meet a few months ago) We will all chill there, get some food, talk cars and wait for peeps. Then we will head out to the weight station next to the san jose airport. ( about 10 mins away)

Meet time should be around 6 since the weight station closes then.

Anyways. Lets plan for:
6 pm
Happy days diner
Saturday
Jan 31st

Let me know whos coming. It will be a fun event for all.

call me for a good time.
just joking.
late

[knghtryde]

I'm In. My car isn't that light but I'm interested in knowing how much wait I should try to cut down.

[SilviaNinja240]

Is there a prize for the heaviest car?;)

[blu808]

There is no prizes but it will be just like a reg meet plus a weight meet. You will now know after this meet how much your car weighs. and after every mod you can weigh your car and see the results.
Let me know and spread the word. I dont care if theres a old school vw out there lets weigh some shiznit,

Luke

[stock4door]

I'll swing by. Anyone wanna start throwin down twenties on who's car will be the lightest?

[blu808]

I might throw down a twenty or two but i would just end up getting it back anyways. :-)
Spread the word. This will be a fun meet,

Luke

[stealthj]

anyone wanna throw money at the heaviest biatch? :D

[nokeone]

converts are DQ'd..:p...j/k..

[stock4door]

Damn... I was gonna call it a glorified 240sx :D

Meet at 6? You said it closes then?

Anyways just want to get that cleared up. I might have to show up. Im interested in seeing how much my car weighs. Especially if its FREE!:boink:

[autobahNESSA]

this sounds interesting. Jan 31st I think I can make it.

Got to make a note on the calander.

prolly closes for business at 6...meaning if you all show up after (illegally, trespassing) there wont be anyone there to tell you that you can't all use their equipment to weigh your cars...:p

[ootranceformeroo]

ahhh i c....well then if I go Ill just be there a little earlier? I dont know.

You gonna be there Nokeone? Gonna have your car by then?

i don't think it works that way, luke can clear all this up i'm sure, but my guess would be that it is a truck weigh station scale place of some sort...not for use by automobiles..so you HAVE to go after they close...

i would doubt they care though so i'm sure there's no risk...just bad Karma..:p...but luke wouldn't put anyone in potential harms way...so i wouldn't stress it...

nah i don't think i'll be there...chances are against me having a car by then...but if for some reason i do have one and it's put together i'd roll out..be fun to see it's weight..

[stock4door]

The weight scales are at the end of a court in industrial part of Santa Clara. It is a big cement slab that you roll up onto at the end of a street and you look across the street into a control tower to see your weight on a little screen. At or around 6pm on a weekend day is totally a good time to go. Cops have even rolled through before when we have been there and they don't care. Now with a big huge group of 240sx's I could see some cops possibly hassling and kicking people out. But the chances of them even rolling through is kind of slim. The weight scale is sort of part of a public road and I don't even think it is illegal to roll onto it. It is part of big huge paper recycling factory, the scale is used to weigh the trucks before they enter the factory.

[blu808]

The scale is in a open area right next to the road. I have also been there around midnight with 4 other car. we all chilled there for about a half hour then the cops rolled up, they just asked what we were doing and then they took off. I dont think it should be a prob. Ohh and also the recycling place closes at 6pm on weekends, not happy dayz. I just thought we could all meet up there to get some food, hang out, and play follow the leader to the weight station.

Noah sorry to hear about your car. I have a bunch of parts laying around if you need anything for your new one.

Luke

thanks man...i'll let you know if i do when i pick up the new one...

:bow:

[neevosh]

I've been to that scale a few times before. I've never seen anyone there on the weekend. I hope nobody fucks around so that they close it off.

[blu808]

Allright guys. Looks like the meets on for sure. Just let me know whos coming so we know who to wait for.

Luke

[knghtryde]

Hey Luke I'll be there for sure so don't take off without me. LoLz.

[blu808]

Allright hope to see you there.
Who else is coming?

[knghtryde]

blu808

Have we met before I'm unsure at this point who I've met and who I haven't. I haven't placed all the Zilvia names with real names and faces yet... LoLz...

[blu808]

I have the black and white s13. And I had that bad ass gray z32 tt.

Anyways. hope to see you out there.

Spread the word. this should be fun.

Luke :squintd:

[stock4door]

Yo I'll be there in my s13 powered nissan :werd: .

[knghtryde]

S13 Powered Nissan.... So what kinda nissan do you have that's being powered by an S13.... That fraise just sounds weird for some reason...

[Turbozx]

Ok, I am game to go for the heavyweight title, so I will bring out the fat pig Z32TT. I think the last time I weighed it was close to 3500 lbs. Might be more this time.

I can’t bring the 240SR as it is getting painted, but the last time I weighed it with a full tank of gas it was:

http://gnakata.crosswinds.net/Project_Silvia/weightslip/weightslip.jpg

Glenn

[knghtryde]

You Z32 is only 1000lbs heavier than your 240sx... Mayn I hope my shit isn't that heavy. The point to fixing up a 240sx is cause it's suppose to be a light car... I want a Z32 now... LoLz...

[z_boi]

I might be in with my 280z

[knghtryde]

Canton...

I thought your 280z wasn't running. When did you get it fixed or your trying to get it fixed before the date.

[blu808]

Its always good to see some z32s and some 280s. Oh and stock 4 doors sr powered nissan is really a datsun. youll see.ha ha ha.
Just kidding. Any other peeps coming?

Luke :fruit:

[knghtryde]

Stock 4 Door SR powered Nissan is really a Datsun... Hmmmm... ????????????

Now I'm very very confused... LoLz

[z_boi]

I got another one. :rawk: this one is a 77, The other was a 78.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

You guys are a bunch of retards.

[stock4door]

It's a 4 door datsun 510.

Datsun is Nissan. My 510's sill plates say manufactured by Nissan. The Valve cover on the stock motor says Nissan on it. They used the name Datsun until 1983 because when they started marketing cars in the U.S. they felt the name Nissan sounded to Japanese to market with in a domestically dominated car market scene. The car is a product of the Nissan motor coorporation. I just think that sometimes people in the 240sx world are so new to the car scene that they don't realize these old Datsuns running around are all Nissans, and thus is why we swap engines from newer s13's, z31's, etc. The 240sx is a direct derivative of the 510 actually. IRS, rwd, 4 cylinder platform, and the power plants all have direct hand me down the line striking similarities to each other also. So when you see a 510 or a Z roll up to a 240sx gathering, remember where your technology stemmed from. Roots.

[blu808]

Danny. sorry i missed your call. My phone took a crap.

I'm gonna bring my 300ZX as well. My SR isn't done yet... but I hope to lay claim to the heaviest pig of a car. :D

[knghtryde]

Danny,

You gotta learn to take a Joke. I understood what you guys ment. I know what the 510 is. I personally would perfer a CA18 in a 510 just because of room. The smaller CA18 would be perfect and still give you alot of room to work inside the car with.

Anywayz off topic. Yeah I was just messing around. I thought you guys would have picked up on that.

P.S. I want an RB25DET powered 1970 Datsun 240z. Now that would be my dream car.

[stock4door]

David,

It's all good.... I never thought you weren't joking (although everyone knows you can't tell that stuff in online text even with smileys n stuff). I was just clarifying for people that really do get confused.

Now you wanna debate the ca18 topic? haha Nah... I respect anyone that does a clean engine swap into a 510 regardless of the motor... although people that step outside the nissan world for engine swaps do scare me sometimes.

Danny

[blu808]

ca18s suck. Just kidding.
Anyways. Who else coming?

:fruit:

[fliprayzin240sx]

I might roll if i feen like driving from 707 to sanjo

[blu808]

Hope to see you out there.

Luke

See you guys there.

Byron

[Turbozx]

Luke,

Sorry, but it looks like I won't be able to make after all to compete for the heavyweight division title. I am going to be helping Joe K. (red Z32 with JDM HID's at Strictly Z last weekend) do some work on his Z for a car show next week. I hope some other Z32's show up to fight for the title.

Glenn

[blu808]

Thats ok. There will be other meets. Also. I will prob see you at strictly Z sometime.
Would you mind giving me a call. I needed some info on those brakes you have.

Lukr

[stillmatic]

Luke, your 240 is the shit man! Thanks for letting me ride in it :rawk:

I'll try to make it tomorrow after I'm done installaing the LSD. I might bring my friend with an old school bug if that's okay. Quick question, were you also able to add an LSD additive when you filled the diff with oil? Just wondering.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the address for the meet for those that don't know:

Happy Days Diner
2638 Union Avenue
San Jose, CA 95124

Oh, and anyone have a spare rear shock mount/bracket for an S13? It's the one with the 2 studs in the rear.

[blu808]

The oil is meant for LSD diffs. It should be ok. Give me a call if you have any probs.

And that is the right address.
Luke

[stillmatic]

Okay, thanks man.

2840lbs plus or minus 20.

[stillmatic]

Damn, I couldn't make it.. Had some problems with the lsd install. I thought it was gonna be easy after I got the open diff out which was at 4pm. I was really looking forward to weigh my car tonight. Oh well, maybe next time.

[blu808]

If you want. My friend will trade me that lsd and axels for a 180vlsd with the six bolt output shafts. Let me know if you cannot get it in.
Luke.

My car weighed in at 2410 lbs. Yea.!

[JtWo]

Whats this Fight that i was hearing about?

[JtWo]

I heard this meet was very unorganized..

[stillmatic]

Luke.

My car weighed in at 2410 lbs. Yea.!

Hmm.. 2410 lbs :bigok: I'm still feeling the effect of your lightweight car from last night. Are you going to David's meet in February? Maybe we could hit that place up again..

I'll let you know about the lsd after I try again tomorrow. I'm only having a hard time sliding the driver's side axle. The other side went right in after I filed the first 5 threads.

[blu808]

What fight? I left after the cars were scaled. Also sorry the meet was a bit unorganized. But its not like it was a car show or anything. It was just a fun thing to do on a saturday night. Also. Sorry for the people that called me late. Its hard to give directions to the scale.

Luke

[s13chica]

It was fun seeing everyone at the meet...I didn't know about any fight, and I stayed at the scales until all the cars had gone. It was fun to see the wieghts of the supra, celica, and the two hondas that showed up late. I'm always interested to see how much my car weighs in comparisson to the other cars on the road.

My car was 2680, which isn't bad since it has a full cage, and a full tank of gas!

[JtWo]

i was pretty damn sure i heard something about a fight....

[stock4door]

Yeah there was a honda guy making fun of peoples cars towards the end. So i layed him out flat on the weight scale and then dragged him over to the railroad tracks and strapped him down there to stay. Dunno if you really could call it a fight.

:rl:

[Halz]

I was surprised to see that the Celica is only 2500lbs.. explains alot of what I've seen from that car on the track and in autocross.

...oh, and what was the weight of everyone standing on the scales? 2400something, or so? That was pretty funny..

[s13chica]

HAHAHAHA...did that train ever end up coming, or is he still strapped to the tracks???

I think we all weighed about 2400 all together..the weights of ONE car! haha...very cool

[blu808]

Yea i think it was around 2400. all together. that was fun :barf:

[stock4door]

HAHAHAHA...did that train ever end up coming, or is he still strapped to the tracks???

I dunno... depends.... you're the one who secured him down.... did you use duct tape or ZIP TIES? I am sure we'll read about it in the newspaper soon, doubt he got away. :faint:

[kazuo]

I'll let you know about the lsd after I try again tomorrow. I'm only having a hard time sliding the driver's side axle. The other side went right in after I filed the first 5 threads.

What were you filing and why? All you have to do is

-Unbolt output shafts from axles (6 bolts on each side)
-Remove open diff pumpkin (4 on front two up top)
-Remove axles (one bigass 26mm nut on the hubs)
-Install new axles (reverse of removing old ones)
-Install new pumpkin (reverse of removal)

thats it. Why are you filing things? It fits right in. I did one last week... you know dvdevo (David) dont you? If you need help installing it, give him a call and tell him to give me a ride to DC. ;)

late

[z_boi]

its a 36mm foo!

haha only on weekends though remember that. wahh i want vlsd now heh.

[stillmatic]

LOL, you guys are funny.. I just traded lsd's with Luke so everything should be okay now. The reason why the axle needed to be filed is because someone in Japan hit the top part with a hammer and f**ked some of the threads up.. The nut wouldn't go in unless if the damaged part was shaved off.

David is a cool cat, he's always down to give me a ride in his KA with force reduction. He said he didn't drive his car this week though so I don't know..

[dvdevo]

yeah i'm a taxi.. its just that art the city has bad roads haha.so its a bitch to go there.

[knghtryde]

Sheesh, why is everyone always picking on David. That just isn't kewl.

[blu808]

Did you get the new diff in yet?

Luke

[stillmatic]

Not yet. The filler and drain plug is tough to loosen compared to the other one. I only managed to get the drain plug out and my friend is gonna help me with the filler plug tomorrow. Everything looks good except for the nipple located on the bottom of the cover. It was leaking a lot of oil.. Is that supposed to be normal?

[fliprayzin240sx]

HAHAHAHA...did that train ever end up coming, or is he still strapped to the tracks???

I think I weighed about 2400 all together..the weights of ONE car! haha...very cool
sheesh georgia...u weight that much??? *jus kidding* :naughtyd:

[chineseb0i]

naw, what she meant is that every1 got onto the weight thing and everyone put together weighed that much. I believe georgia said earlier that her car weighed about 2680 with roll cage and full tank of gas...something like that..i tried going but heard there was a fight so din go and didn't get directions there...whack... :rant2:
sheesh georgia...u weight that much??? *jus kidding* :naughtyd:

[knghtryde]

How many people went?

[knghtryde]

Hey anyone know of someone in San Jose of McKee Road in a Red S13 Hatch with the license plate "Chaos Y".

I'm just curious cause I see him getting on the freeway every day on my way to work.

:eek3d:

[blu808]

That nipple is the breather. It is supposed to be facing upwards.

Luke

[stock4door]

I really don't think it is a good thing when the nipple is leaking oil. :eek:

[s13chica]

umm...yeah...I miss typed that one! hehe...I don't weigh 2400 lbs!!!! hahaha... if I did would you please do me the favor and shoot me!

[stillmatic]

Thanks for explaining everything, Luke. I just finished the install a couple hours ago... The lsd works great. Thanks for trading me a 180sx lsd... You're the man :bowdown:

[blu808]

Danny. The nipple was leaking because the diff was upside down. Hey i also got my new car today. yeaa.
anyways. Hope the diff works out for you. just be cautious on the streets.

[dvdevo]

when u gettin them d2 coilovers stillmatic? hey maybe after u get them u can finally catch up ;)

[stillmatic]

when u gettin them d2 coilovers stillmatic? hey maybe after u get them u can finally catch up ;)

I won't be getting them till the end of the month. I can probably keep up with you right now.. I just don't trust my ricer coilovers anymore. Hey, you should get an LSD foo! Trust me, it's worth it. You can feel the difference right away.

[stock4door]

Danny. The nipple was leaking because the diff was upside down. Hey i also got my new car today. yeaa.


Oh okay the nipple on the diff, I got it. Cuz any other nipple that is leaking oil, is a nipple to stay away from.

[JtWo]

Can you suck the nipple that's on the diff?

[knghtryde]

You know what.... I'm not touching that one...

[dvdevo]

uhh alright, thats sorta nasty..

[blu808]

I guess you can suck it, but what you do with oily nipples is your buisness.
:jerkit:
