As Pete has been giving me an ear bashing I thought I had better post a few pix of the rebuild.

 

I did a fair bit of testing during 2015 and competed in quite a few events despite having a cracked and / or porous block. This left me low on power but I hope to have sorted out suspension and a few other issues that should help to make the car a lot faster.

 

Looks like a lot to do still and there is however I hope to be back on the track and testing in time for the new season. I plan to do more in the way of sprinting and hill climbing but of course ten of the best remains the primary event for me. Probably do Brands Hatch in time attack in club pro.

 

The main aim in the rebuild is to move weight to the back as far as possible. In addition I will be trying a few new ideas and I will add a few more photos as I get them over the next couple of months.

Its a combination of Hoosier Drag tyres and Driver Skills.

Bob has honed his launch skills progresssively on the quarter mile over several years with many many runs.

His 10.9 run at Santa Pod is without doubt the fastest recorded 1/4 mile by a 300ZX in the UK.

Nobody else is even close.

Its a true skill that needs to be learned by practise and analysis. Many normal road going drivers never get it.

 

What Pete said :cool:

The work continues with a modular fuseboard will help with future expansion potentially. The dash is coming together as is the engine bay. We are awaiting some custom clutch plates and will be ready for a first test.

Bob, that amazing! Good job!

 

What do you think about Local Motors Rally Fighter?

New ST-60 brakes at the front with a pair of ST-40 being modified to go rear. Full bespoke wiring now assembled and being installed into the car. We have the final dry sump fittings so these will be installed within the next week or so and we will hopefully be firing it up.

How big are those rotors now Bob? Are you running 18's?
