Anti-Fuel Starvation Baffle
Quote:
For your Z, establish a baseline so that you don't have to take a wild guess at the number and diameter and height of the holes (ports sounds more technical :-) Look at your data-logger data for the longest duration and highest g-load curve on the tracks that you will frequent where the fuel starvation occurred. Drill a port in the baffle and fill the baffle with water. Does the baffle stay filled with water for the duration of the curve? If yes, you have a good starting baseline. It will be a trial and error process, but getting a good baseline with your data logger will save you a bunch of time. Cool Tool! Z-U-later! Greg |

Greg, we're going to try your idea - just talked with my shop Redline Motorsports
All, just got an email from my NASA regional classing leader "Here is the new classing for the 370Z Nissan 370Z ('09)(6 sp. manual)---PTB* 3300 lbs. Nissan 370Z Sport Model ('09)---PTB** 3300 lbs. Nissan 370Z Nismo ('09)---PTA* 3300 lbs." That means that if you're building a 370z race car or time trial car, best bet is to avoid the Nismo... The 3300lbs refers to the "base weight" which is used as a reference point from "competition weight" which is car + driver + anything else that may be with the car when it comes off the track. My goal is 3000 lbs competition weight, so I will accumulate 300 lbs worth of points |

Update... figured out that there is NO WAY I can make it into NASA PTA/TTA class with all the things I'm doing to my car.... So I'm moving up! Going into PTS/TTS where I will be competing typically with Corvette's and Vipers... fun! As it turns out locally, the fastest car in this class is a Honda... that guy turns 1:05 at the track I just did a 1:13 on... I need to make up 6 or so seconds with tires, brake pads, aero, more mods, and better driving!
Car is going to go to my cage builder tomorrow night! He has some great ideas... this is a super pivotal part of my build, so I went to lengths to find the right guy... will have pics and details to share in coming weeks Okay, need some input from all you guys on a couple things: 1. need to pick a number for racing... thinking maybe 255 because that's my new max oil temp! or maybe 106 because that's a good target time for me at local track... other ideas welcomed! 2. I am going to need a full halo racing seat... any recommendations ? I need to get this to my cage builder so he can design the cage to go with it Jump on in !

T.: Robert at Redlinewins.com is going to consider the baffle...If I can be of any assistance to you or Robert, let me know...because of your passion, I'll be so glad to assist for free ! If you need/ can use: warm bodies at your track days, I offer myself as a sacrifice :-) I would love to get moly grease under my fingernails, feel PAO and ester oils on my neck, and help solve the extreme conundrums that is racing a street car! Z-ya! Greg

Okay Greg, you're it then... trackside support for Oct NASA PIR event if you can make it! I'll update here later with details... first order of business is to help me pick my racing number!
Robert reads this thread and will reach out to you if he has questions... we talked about it today and he seemed to know exactly what to do... but may be helpful to talk it through with you |

I'm going to be very interested in the baffle as well, so I will be interested in seeing pictures or a sketch of what you come up with. So far it hasn't been too much of problem as I've only been doing auto-x this year to get used to the car and discover it's issues, but next year the car will be getting ready for the track. Not quite as "ready" as Travis's car, but I'm sure I will experience the same issues.
