HRH Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Autocross today. :D Unfortunately, I did not race the Z car. She is awaiting lots more money for a new fuel injection system and harness/ecu, which, at current, is going to take me a bit to save up for. So, I decided to stop worrying about it, and continue using the Maxima for autocross at the moment. Lots easier, runs great, not as fast, but hey, she still gets down and boogies. I did have my side pipe ripped off by a chunk of asphalt today. That was rather annoying, but we baling wired it up for the trip home, wasn't a big deal. ALMOST dipped into the 44s. Ran a 45.09 with a cone. (EDIT: I lied!! I just checked raw time results and it looks like I didn't hit the cone! So that means I did get a 45.09 for the fastest run! Sweet!!) As it was, this was the fastest at 45.19. Fastest time of day was low 42s, so I was pretty happy with the performance. Oh, and if anyone wants to help me generate the money for the new MS3 and custom harness, I do have a '87ish 300zx manual transmission with a D21 tailshaft that was rebuilt by Chuck's Gear a couple years back. Never installed, been stored in the basement after I sold the chump/autocross truck. I had grand visions of a VG powered standard cab hardbody, but alas, never came to fruition. You could also easily put a 300zx tailshaft back on it if so desired. Rose did pretty well. Not as good as normal, but we have some carb work to do on her RX7. 3 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 squeal, squeal, squeal :D I'm interested in helping out with funding and have a project that transmission might work well with. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 The 71C was used on non turbo zx. RS5R30A on the turbo. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Cool! I'd make you a swinging deal red-eye. Pm me for details. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Oh, and here are the raw time results. Not that raw time matters. I actually got 1st in vintage at this event. Luckily Harold wasn't driving his Corvette. I beat him in his daughter's Corvette, which he hasn't driven much and isn't familiar with. But a win is a win is a win! :) See below for how close I am to a very expensive Porsche. That just made my day! Lol. The top time is the normal driver, he's our new VP at ASNW. Nice guy actually.

Cosmonaut Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Any other items? Maybe a list of the autocross Z fund? Would b interested in seeing the Z race, with an HRH at the wheel. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yeah, so I found a way to do the car the way I want to. Need about $1500 to complete. Unfortunately, the transmission is the last of the big items I have for sale. That will cover half of it roughly. Then lots of saving up for the other stuff. I could just go with another motor/trans combo, but then I'd spend easily the same amount building another motor. So she will stay in the garage until I sell enough stuff and save up. Probably not going to be this season. Not to mention all sorts of real-world issues come up, like needing to redo my garage roof before winter. Still need to spend some time calculating how much it's going to cost me in materials. Probably have to get permits too for that one. Bah. Always something! 2 Quote Link to comment
