GTR's taking over!

Front diff doesn't look like fun to R&R...

Get 4 motorcycle tire warmers ?

The GTR is coming back this week. Once the ring and pinion pushed apart in the front diff it exploded and in a about a split second it broke my block, belhousing and some other stuff. Everything is all buttoned up and been working on a full billet front diff with Buschur that houses a larger pinion gear and ring. We were able to salvage the block as well. Thankfully it was just a cast tab the ripped off and held the diff in place, it could have been MUCH worse. Added some support in the proper areas to try and dodge this incident again.
GTR's ETS units, that are located in the trans, had to come out to get tested. We found out that it was set tight and sending too much power to the front wheels. It should have 0-10 ft lbs of preload then break free (basically by hand), Buschur tested mine and it was close to 50-60 ft lbs which was sending a little much power to the front wheels when i was launching. Sucks I couldn't make the track rental, I was going to bring the Evo in leu of the GTR being out but duty called.

Glad to hear it's nearly fixed. Hopefully we'll have a Fall track rental you can come to! This rental was lacking in GTRs.

I have a CTS-V rear I will sell you...hold's less than 1/3 the power you are making.



8.8 swap the nissan.

Car is aligned, on the trailer and ready for pick up. Finally, I'll have her home and on the prowl this weekend. :)

Might need to get some DR's balanced. Any suggestions or recommendations on places in/near Washington?

Now all you need is a few hours of weather that doesn't SUCK!

Very Nice

Pretty sure I saw a GT-R at the end of street outlaws trying to make the top 10 list next week

[thedak]

Don't break it again

Probably the same one that was on in the first (second) season. Black guy was driving it. Can't remember if it was the first or second season.

You headed out to this ?

Absolutely, sir! This will be my 12th year of attendance. I'm headed out Friday the 7th and staying all weekend. I highly recommend this event and race. It only keeps getting bigger and better. This year will be a great year for GTR attendance as well. I always stay at the Best Western in Norwalk. Let me know if you can make it and we can all meet up or something.

[PaxtonShelby]

That sounds like a great time.

Excellent
