Went to an 1/8th mile track today and got 4 test passes in, after a bar change to make the car no go stage right, and a minor two step adjsuwkrnt, I was able to sneak a 6.17@122

 

Then went on in to Portland 1/4 mile and with the 6.17 tune up still in it the launched way different and and did this criss cross lean into a wheelie pulling left front then picking right front about 12 inches I'm told. I stayed in it and ran my only full pass tonight at 9.50@152 running it out at 11psi

 

I'm working on my license passes now and got my two launch only passes out of the way and I'll follow up with the remaining 4 next Friday

Been doing some work on this car. Updated some stuff up front, redid radiator and shroud along with moving it forward, dropping some weight too. Also updated to the borg warner race cover on the turbo

 

Got a kirkey seat installed, saved a bunch of weight there and moved me down about 5 inches

 

Working on a new alum dash setup and wiring up the efi a little tidier with all the add ons I did over last season

 

Powerglide parts are on the way

 

And what I'm excited about. Doing some googling I read on Hybridz that gm hubs will bolt onto the s30 spindle. After looking at a PDF of all the hubs, I chose the mid 80's G body hub. Replacing the 300z hub i setup everything around this hub is almost a drop in with rotor placement 1/8 closer and the wheel moving in 1/16. The 3rd gen Camaro would put the rotor in the same location for me but move the wheel out 1/16. Some minor matching of my own rotor hat and wheel spacer can solve this but over happy with the bolt on rotor and wilwood stocks a seal that fits the spindle too

 

The rotor no longer bolts to the back as it does on the 300z setup, rather its sandwiched between the wheel and hub. Getting the correct the rotor fitment means a 3/4 wheel spacer for me to keep the 300z wheel mounting surface location. I'll use 3 inch studs to make all this happen as one unit
