The 2.8L is now freshened, dynoed and ready to race. I've also sourced a rece prepped 5spd from a 240SX. off to Lime Rock Park next week for the Fall Classic Vintage GP.
Our last race of the season was not a good one. First lap of practice I lost 3rd gear in the 5spd. Fellow Datsun buddies came up with a loaner gearbox and helped with the swap. Got out for the race but after 4 laps the camshaft broke into 3 pieces. Not a good day.
We all had a good time at VIR with the Z, even set an all time fast lap of 2:15 which is 3 sec's a lap faster than last year. Qualified 6th out of 30 cars and ended up 2nd in class which put a medal around my neck. Next race is late August at Lime Rock Park, our local race circuit.
Just a few pieces to bolt on the car before the next race.
Stripes are on. Next is the Lexan rear and qtr windows, also the numbers have to go on.
Next on the "to do" list is:
1) Paint the new carbon fiber hood.
2) Paint the charcoal triple stripe scheme up the center of the car.
3) Graphics guys are making the numbers.
4) Lexan rear and side qtr windows need to be cut and installed.
First race for this season is early June.
