Spec Jay's BPv2 Street/Track Build

Spec Jay

Finally was feeling comfortable enough to participate in Global Time Attack, best of all it was the first time GTA would be at my home track! Had some issues with tech but was eventually allowed out on track on the second session



Unfortunately it was the first time the Z has left me completely stranded too.
On my first session out just 4 laps in the motor blew at the end of the front straight doing 150+ (Code Brown anyone? )Some pictures of the carnage.






Ended up finding 5 or 6 holes in the block after pulling it.

I can't say I was disappointed or depressed about the engine, it took 5 years of 500+ WHP on a virgin block without a problem.

My issue was I was on year old scrub 275 Nexen SUR4G (Excellent tire BTW) instead of the 295 Advan A052's I had waiting to go on the next day. I was holding out better weather on day 2 as it was raining every other session all of Saturday. I was able to manage beating my PB on that 4th lap with a 1:50.775 and was barely settling into the new suspension setup. The lap was Good enough for 4th at the time but after the weekend settled 6th.

Good news is, GTA will be returning to Ridge Motorsports Park in 2021!
