datsunfreak Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I will be there (hopefully) in my 1200 coupe. And should have a few friends (with their Datsuns) along for the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Aw man, now I gotta set a deadline for getting the motor-swap done on my truck... It's that or take the 240z! Either, you can count on seeing me in Austin! Thanks for the heads-up! ~Peter 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 that thing is going to be huge Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Told another NM guy about it today. Kinda thinking about maybe just Friday and half of Saturday. Gotta be back at work on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I would suggest, if you do that, coming to the show on Sunday and leaving early. There was some cool stuff that showed up Sunday last year. Saturday will definitely be a blast though. I hope you guys can make it. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Registration opens February 27th. I'll post links later from my laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Roughly 800 miles in a Datsun (well mine anyway; 1200/4spd) in one day? As they say in your part of the country....."that dog won't hunt". However, if we roll down in the wife's Challenger, leaving halfway through Sunday would not be an issue. B) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Roughly 800 miles in a Datsun (well mine anyway; 1200/4spd) in one day? It's only 700. Quit being a wuss. :rofl: Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was taking into consideration that I will be travelling with a woman. Not to be a sexist pig (yeah, right), but just sayin'. :sick: 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was taking into consideration that I will be travelling with a woman. That means it will feel like 800... ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 It could also mean that your car will get plenty of breaks along the way. Maybe leave around 10 then. Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Nismo Fiesta registration is open. Check out nismofiesta.com for signup. The hotel group rate password is Nismo. PM me if you have any issues. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Just got my rooms. $129/night with the group rate. I found it easier to call the front desk. $389/night standard rate so its a hell of a deal. They said the rooms are going fast so hurry hurry hurry. Quote Link to comment
FlyinPat Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 What hotel is it? Quote Link to comment

Lonestar Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dang, I wanna go. I could if I could afford a hotel room which I can't. I'll be lucky to scrap up the money to get my bumper put (which I need cus I don't have turn signals and my state inspection is out.) I'll try to see if I can have my 210 ready and trying to get some cash so I can go for a Sat/Sun deal. Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 You gotta show up! Even if it's just for the Sunday show. It's gonna be a blast. I'd say come Saturday night too. We're gonna party our asses off. Anyway, you gotta be there just to see the Goon you almost parted out and hang out at the Ratsun booth. The hotel is a bit steep on a Ratsun budget, but I'm sure there are cheap places around. Last year I stayed in a roach motel econolodge down the road. This year, the wife is coming so we're in the fancy host hotel, but that's not required to be part of the festivities. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm gunna try for this year and man, I am loving what you have done with that goon, so glad I sold it to you. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ok, I just found this thread and am throwing my hat in the ring. I will be there in the Seven. Yeah, you heard me right. I am going to drive my A-15 powered "Lotus" Seven down this year if it kills me! I'll probably wind up bunking on my brother's sofa in Round Rock (unless someone has floor/bed space in their hotel room) so I don't know how many of the days I'll make, probably a Sat/Sun appearance, sort of thing. Of course the pooibility of a new job looms on the horizon so Fri/Sat/Sun may not be out of the question. I need to make discussing with John, Patrick (both of whose Ratsun handles I forget), Lonestar, and any other dFW Ratsuns planning to attend to see who will be caravanning with me to keep me out frumunda eighteen-wheelers and such. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 With less than a month left, there has been quite a bit of activity on Nismo Fiesta's Facebook page. You can view it here. https://www.facebook.com/NismoFiestaNo facebook profile required. My favorite post by them as if late. "The Ratsun boys are coming in full force this year and are Frankenstein-Ingrid their own one of a kind trophy. Considering their innovations as of late, we are very excited to see them come out again this year!" I think he meant Frankensteining. Quote Link to comment
