I have an interest in trying the SS Hybrid Pro Rage H&N. I don't believe anyone has one in the Atlanta area that isn't an hour drive + to try on. Does anyone have any experience trying one from one of the mail order folks and returning it if it was not to your liking? Any issues with doing that...

So I got a Go Pro HD for Xmas. What capacity SD card would you guys recommend? Assuming I would download to my computer anything I want to keep long term, what is the minimum I should think about? 16g? Or does it make sense to to buy 3 or 4 4g cards and rotate them? I would want to capture...

http://www.scca.org/documents/Fastrack/11/11-fastrack-jan-club.pdf Yahooo ITR 1. #2501 (Tristan Smith) Please re-examine weight for ITR 300zx In 9.1.3, ITR, Nissan 300ZX (89-96), change the weight from 3250 to 3120. [An error was made during the initial weight-assignment process.]...

Can anyone recommend a mechanic that is good with older z-cars. Someone is asking me for recommendations. He wants some exhaust manifold gasket work on his street Z. I know there are still guys/mechanics racing the older zs in the area. He's north of Alpharetta, if that helps, but will go...

Need some opinions. On the new ITR 300zx I am building I need put in a catch can for oil. Evidently the stock PCV design is bad and has the tendency to dump a lot of oil into the plenums, especially when raced or run hard. So My question is: Should I just vent the crankcase lines (there are...

............a race car.

Ok so I have been trying to wire up an aftermarket Autometer Tach to the 300zx (1991 z32). So far nothing works. The car is a coil-less system with a coil pack on each spark plug. In theory I should be able to take the signal coming out the ecu and use that to trigger the tach. But that doesn't...

How does the performance of these tires stack up to the rest of the Race DOT tires out there? I am looking for 255/40 17 tire for the 300zx and surprisingly enough the Goodrich is one of only a few tire makers with a tire this size. Yes, I know it will not be as fast as a Hoosier......but...

Not that anyone asked, but I thought i would show the latest on the ITR build. New used nose: Cage and interior are essentially done: Front suspension: Ground Control Advance Design shocks on all four corners. Rear Suspension. Full spherical set up. Rota D2 17 x8.5 wheels...

Any Nissan guys (or anyone else for that matter) hook up an Autometter speedometer in their car? If so, did it work off the stock signal sender? Their info says that it works off many stock sender units, but doesn't list which ones.

Just some proof I am actually working on something. ha Here are some pics of the z-car stripped ready for the cage. That should be done in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Interior stripped out. __________________

ok, so there is no camber adjustment possible on the 90-96 z32 300zx. It's all factory set, much like McPhearson Strut is. Like a strut, as the car is lowered the camber increases. So like a strut equiped suspension, can I ask for a rule allowance to substitute the upper control arm with an...

So the GCR says ITR cars can run 17 inch wheels (or larger if it came stock), and the 300zx line in the GCR specs says 16 inch. So does that mean I can ran either wheel size?

Have any interest in selling that 300zx to someone in need? pm me if you want to talk. ummm...,I would be the one in need. [email protected].

Just wanted to thank Cesar and David for helping me load up my car yesterday. I appreciate all the help. I may have some parts for sale soon, we'll see. And thanks to my crew chief, Russ Paper, as usual, for his hard work.
