I'm looking for car build sheet specs for a 350Z in either the Super Taikya or other similar Japanese race events. In particular I'm looking for car build specs that closely match what is being run in the Porsche Cayman Interseries held at HSR events. Not looking for a Group A car specs but more like a Group N. Your assistance is much appreciated.

Hi, All I was hoping to get some ideas of what some others are using for 240z race cars in the trans diff dept. is a 4 speed better all around than a close ratio five speed and what diff gearing works the best, my friend bought a 240z gt2 car that runs a truck 5 speed and the 4.3 gearing in a r180, can I use the r200 lsd and cv joints?

So this weekend I went to Toronto with my good friend Kirk, and we took the Targa Newfoundland qualifying class. I was learning the roll as navigator, and Kirk was driving the 300C rental car around the Driver development track at Mosport. It was a wonderful weekend and unbelievably tiring. I will get some pictures up of where we stayed , etc. But I have to say that navigating is a large challenge for me. So much to keep track of, and I will need some practice to get the hang of the pace of calling out notes. We are entering his 944 turbo in the 2011 Targa Newfoundland. My Z is slated to go 2-3 years later, as I still getting her ready. While we plan to run the Po…

This is becoming a tradition for black Friday for us but a local guy that owns Bob's Donuts in SF is a major car guy and hosts this track day every year. I signed up this year to run grip, there are grip and drift spots available plus skid pad. He even arranged so everyone would get a photo CD from the track photographers, which is totally awesome since I don't get to the track more than a couple times per year. I have to say this track is a heck of a lot of fun! Plenty of turns and it's a little tighter than Thunderhill so it's not as much of a top speed track. It's a 4 hour drive each way so I left at 3am and got home around 1am I still consider myself a track noob b…

Hi All, What I have is a 240z and well 2, 240z one is being built to race vintage and the other is my street car. I would like to start autoxing the street car from what I understand in the rules I can use any of the L blocks but if I went to turbo, it would put me into the next higher class. Can I use a stroker motor? or am i limited to the stock sized l28. Coluld the race car be used?or is it too built for standard class in autox? I've read somewhere that full interiors are needed Thanks for any help

A couple of short clips for your enjoyment from the American Road Race of Champions held at Road Atlanta last weekend. It was my first time to drive the track since 1976. I had absolutely nothing for the fast guys but I had fun and I will be back. First clip is of the start and Jose forgetting that his tires were still cold at turn 2: This is just a couple of laps near the middle of the race. I am pretty much by myself as the field was small this year. Only 23 on track. Hope you enjoy them. I had a lot of fun!! Paul

My Hemmings daily newsletter had an article about this years La Carrera Americana race that is starting today or tomorrow. I went to the official website, clicked on Participants, and noticed 2 teams were racing Datsuns, one a 510, and another what appears to be a 240Z. Pretty cool. Here is the link to the website: http://www.lacarrerapanamericana.com.mx/index2.asp
