OSIXHI It’s Getting Hot Meet & Greet | 6.19.21
Date: Saturday, June 19th, 2021. Time: 3:36 P.M. Location: Makiki, Hawaii. H1 Highway. Westbound in gridlock traffic. Pau hana. Another 8 hour shift in the books. A water main had breaked and had affected my commute home from work somewhat for the afternoon. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night nor even a water main break causing gridlock traffic on the H1 highway will stop yours truly from attending an OSIXHI meet ? Agenda for the afternoon: Hit up this afternoon’s OSIXHI “It’s Getting Hot” Meet & Greet that was to be held within the Central Oahu Regional Park in Waipio, Hawaii
Time: 4:19 P.M. Location: Pearl City, Hawaii. The Miller Ohana Residency. I had called Scott Miller of Supremacy Car Club earlier during the day if I could catch a ride with them in the afternoon as they were heading towards the OSIXHI “It’s Getting Hot” Meet & Greet, and Scott welcomely allowed yours truly to ride shotgun with him and his Ohana in their “juiced” 1989 Honda Civic incorporating a (1) pump hydraulic suspension setup utilizing (1) manifold dump, (4) accumulators, and (3) Napa Group 31 batteries. Time for a selfie ?
And it was time for an obligatory stoplight photo op before making a left turn into the Central Oahu Regional Park ? SMILE ? You’re on EIGHT08 ?
And we made it to the OSIXHI “It’s Getting Hot” Meet & Greet ? Pictured above from left to right is Scott Miller, Jo Ann Miller, Nikki Miller, Grace Mizushima, and Eric Mizushima ? Supremacy Car Club is in the house ?
With summertime in full swing and the temperatures rising, there was no better reason other than to chill and kick it on a Saturday afternoon at an OSIXHI “It’s Getting Hot” Meet & Greet
Old School Imports X Hawaii aka OSIXHI held their “It’s Getting Hot” Meet & Greet on Saturday, June 19th, 2021 within the Central Oahu Regional Park bringing together old school imports and like minded automotive enthusiasts for afternoon filled with fellowship and small kine talk stories
Pictured above and below is Tak Kobayashi’s 1967 Datsun 6100. Built in his garage from the ground up, Tak Kobayashi’s 1967 Datsun rocks an FJ20ET shoehorned into it’s engine bay mated to a D21 5 speed transmission, Racing Hart Type C wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advans on all four corners, a 15 gallon RCI Fuel Cell in the trunk, and a very long list of aftermarket goodies that will make any Datsun enthusiasts drool with envy
Fun fact: The Nissan FJ series engine is a straight-4 2 or 2.4 litre internal combustion engine produced by Nissan in the 1980s. The “T” within the FJ20ET denotes a turbocharged engine. The FJ20ET was installed in the DR30 Skyline RS/RS-X/RS-X Turbo C and S12 Gazelle/Silvia RS-X. Within this particular blog and within Tak Kobayashi’s 1967 Datsun 6100, the FJ20ET was installed within it’s engine bay as well
