JMortensen Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 So Joe, no comment on lap times before and after swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra510 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks Joe. Love that your car can perform so well in the heat. Someday I might have to go LSX myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Joe's car reminds me of a time when Nissan used to be heavily involved in road racing. Im sure it brings back memories for lots of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclejoe666 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 So Joe, no comment on lap times before and after swap? __________________ Jon Mortensen http://www.m2differentials.com 450lb of torque (as well as a balanced chassis) coming off corners is the key, but we're still tuning, especially diff: 4.38 gears were best w/V6 (they're for sale now!), 4.08 was still too much for V8 (like a Legend car on ice), 3.69 seems just right but Nissan LSD is way too loose (spinning one tire then the other out of corners is like driving in Wisc in February). Gotta a beautiful locker frm Japan but not yet able to adapt stub axles (zero cash doesn't help). Ran 2:00/2:01s @CalSpd w/V6, 1:56 this year while overbraking into corners - will drop 4-6 seconds w/diff fixed & better brakes. Pulled 165-168mph off turn 2 w/4.08 diff (in 6th gear) last year, haven't figured out mph w/3.69 yet (wasn't pushing it @5,700rpm in 5th). After years of chasing turbos & Vipers, we're almost ready to rock ;] Oh, and the expression is "Good stuff Maynard" as in Maynard G. Krebs, not "Good stuff Ken" ;] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 So already 5 seconds off of a 2 min track, and another 4-6 expected?!? DAMN, that's impressive!!! Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 FYI... Joe goes silent periodically when his business commitments are heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David K Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Joe is a busy, busy man. Dont expect to hear from him during the Long Beach Grand Prix either, hehe. You guys can always tune into 95.5 KLOS toward the end of the week and listen to his show, ya know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
