big-phil Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This is our Z car club. Cowtown z car club of Ft. Worth Texas. We went to Cresson Tx. I'll have more videos. This one is of mostly Chris and his 400whp car blowing his trans he just put in 2 days before:( My car is stripped down for the painter so I'm just there shooting video.

I'm working on our drive video, but when the computer is on for awhile it gives me errors, so it might not let me Finnish it. I've tried twice. I need to blow out the dust, so it wont overheat.

gnosez Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What am I seeing coming out of the back of the car? Gas, smoke, positrons, anti-matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What am I seeing coming out of the back of the car? Gas, smoke, positrons, anti-matter? In the video, I think I heard someone (Phil or the woman... hard to tell) say Chris thinks it's one of his seals on his turbocharger.

Chris240zTurbo Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Oil smoke! I lost the turbo oil seal on the second ride and drive, I've been running the same turbo for about 5 years so I'm not really shocked, it seemed to suck just enough oil at high vacuum/rpm to spew out the vapor trail in the video. Then the transmission blew sky high, it sounds like a coffee can full of marbles being shaken around under the car, it locked up in 4th at around 125 MPH or so, putting me WAY off the end of the longest straight, I should have maybe brought a change of drawers! all in all, not a great day for the home team. Still loads of fun though. My car would be brutally fast on the road course if it didn't have quite such a hack for a driver, although I didn't spin at all this year, so I'm improving. The best part of the day was Brian in his N/A 280zx, his car made 132whp at our Dyno day last year, has a relatively mild suspension set up, and the same Falken Azenis tires I'm running (rears now flat spotted, ugh!) and he was probably running the lowest lap times of anyone there, the guy can REALLY drive, he holds an SCCA license, and it sure shows. Anyone who has the opportunity to run a track day really should consider it, we had everything from stock and built up 350Z's, S-30s, S-130s (Club president David was looking strong in his S-130 turbo, until the brakes went away) a couple Z-31's and a lone Z32TT, heck even a stone stock Honda civic and a couple Corvettes later in the day. I'll be back for sure, but I am absolutely done with the early transmissions, I had completely gone through this trans, all new bearings and syncros, seals and shift rod pins, and it lasted about 30 minutes on track, I'm curious to get it apart and see what failed, I'm guessing either the front countershaft bearing went, or 4th gear is missing a bunch of teeth and they're rattling around in the bottom of the case. Good Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris240zTurbo Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I first visited this site sometime in 1999, so if I keep on like I have been, I may break 100 posts by 2020 or so. Man, I wish we had gotten the Phil and Tommy 2 up wheelie on video, that was classic.
