Thanks Travis..

The dealer discovered that the AC control knobs and control box need to be hooked back up to complete that connection even though the AC unit is out of the car. We're going to do that and hide them behind the center panel. Also, the reason the VCS is staying off is because the steering wheel sensor in the stock steering wheel was disconnected after we put the Sparco quick release steering wheel on.

If I remember correctly, you put in a custom harness right?

Did you ever hook up with Rich on the gas tank fix?

I don't use the AC control knobs and all is fine... only issue there is the ECU wouldn't respond to UpRev tuning software, but we temp plugged in the unit and got that to work

Steering wheel position sensor is removed from my car, to no impact

Tried to connect with Rich but haven't heard back... he's probably busy

Thanks,
Travis

I've got a potential project idea... As you all know, I no longer have AC and I have some dead weight in the form of an AC condenser that is integral to the stock radiator. I can either go with an aftermarket radiator and dump the stock unit or I can find a way to re-use the condenser for some other purpose. What do you guys think about using it to cool oil - either engine oil or trans gear oil?

A couple articles on this:
Convert AC condenser into oil/PS cooler? [Archive] - FSB Forums
Useing A/C condenser as a trans oil cooler? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I've heard of condenser's being reused to cool the air-intake. Not sure if it really works or not as it restricts the airflow.

Great idea travisjb

Important update on fuel starvation:

I will be working with Richard Biscevic of Nohotwire racing on the installation of a kit to manage the fuel starvation problem we are all having. My fuel tank is being dropped out of my car today and will be shipped to Richard's shop in San Carlos, California. He will install a set of in tank pumps and swirl pot and ship back to me in time for my mid-August event. SRD Racing in Tempe, AZ is doing the R&R and will become a dealer for this kit once we prove it works on my car. By way of background, Richard is working directly with Nissan Motorsports on this project and once it is proven on my car it will be commercialized and made available for everyone else. Richard successfully installed a similar kit on his 350z racecar (Car and Driver Nissan 350Z Race Car | For sale!), and the approach will be similar to the method used on that car. In his 350z, they were able to race all the way down to the last 0.5 gallon of fuel. We're hoping for a similar result.

I will post pictures and updates here as the project moves forward.

Yay. I was getting it at Autobahn in Chicago after burning less than half a tank!

Who can get me these sunline sideskirts? fiberglass... please shoot me a PM, thanks

... waking up in Frankfort and have only 1 question on my mind this morning... 'should i go drive the Nürburgring?' :)


UPDATE: going to do it... will rent one of these bmw 330's http://rentracecar.de/english/vehicles-prices/index.htm wish me luck!

Have fun :driving:

Do it!!!!!!

I am Jealous

In the words of Borat...


NIIIICEEEEEEE

oh man! you only live once - must find a day in your life to do this... I finished 6 laps in a bmw 330, prepped with kw clubsports, semi-slicks and a half cage... I didn't time it, but that's okay had an absolute blast... I pushed pretty hard beginning on my 3rd lap and managed to miss a hard left turn and had an off road excursion... I'll see if I can find a picture of that from the ring photographers... that should have taught me to take it easy, but... In my 6th, I carried a bit too much heat through the big carousel and trouble ensued... I'm fine, no real damage to car, but some cosmetics need to be addressed. This is the same spot where I always have trouble on simulators... I should have known better!

All in all, so worth it!... will post pics if I find them... EDIT, think this is one of me but can't be sure pic isn't very clear http://nurburgring-photos.fotopic.net/p66378797.html

Sounds like a blast! Glad you got to do this, it's definitely on my todo list.

Do you have to pay for the car repair or is damage insurance included?
