So far four and I will add two or three this year if not more, lol.

If I include the bike. It would be about 24 tracks.

Would love to hit VIR, Mid-Ohio, and Lime Rock.

You need to come west and I need to come east and do a couple of bucket list tracks. I got to make my way up the we west coast....Willow Springs, Big Willow, Button Willow, Sears Point, Laguna Seca and Thunder Hill! I may do Las Vegas in April and then there is what used to be Miller Sports Park in Salt Lake City.

Do guys buy extra insurance when you track your Z?

There is insurance for doing trackdays that you can buy. But I don't.

Now, I'll need it.

$200 bucks foe the weekend, that's hella cheap. Over here in Fl they charge 700 plus for a day.

Yea I get it from lockedonmotorsports. It’s about 200 a day and you get a discount through different racing groups (HOD in my case). Well worth it when you figure the cost of the car

I don't have the latest catalog. So I can't tell you. You can call them at 1-888-833-3225 between 9am and 5pm CST. Think that number is still good.

Spooler · 02-19-2018, 10:45 PM

You got some good stuff back in the day. I was looking at the Nismo RC brake ducts again. LOL

Yeah, I did.

I got my stuff when Paul StClair was the head of the motorsports dept. I got stuff at half price.

When he left. So did my discount.

For awhile after him. You had to jump through hoops to get stuff.

Arm is feeling good. So I started working on the Nismo again.

Have the diff pulled and installing the OS Giken diff. Here are the major torque specs that you will need.

Caution! The manual reads Nm (Kg m, Ft lb) when looking at the diagrams.

Drive shaft - 74 Nm (7.5 Kg m, 55 Ft lb)
Side Flange - 79.4 Nm (8.1 Kg m, 59 Ft lb)
Fill plugs - 35 Nm (3.6 Kg m, 26 Ft Lb)
Front mount bolts - 100 Nm (7.5 Kg m, 74 Ft lb)
Rear cover stud - 110 Nm (11 Kg m, 81 Ft lb)
Bearing cap - 93 Nm (9.5 Kg m, 69 Ft lb)
Ring gear bolts - 78.5 Nm (8.0 Kg m, 58 Ft lb) plus 31 to 36 extra degrees. This is closer to 100 ft lbs. Some a little less, some a little more.

Instructions for the ring gears bolts. From the manual.

Apply thread locking sealant into the thread holes of the Drive gear. Use Genuine High Strength thread locking sealant.

Apply anti-corrosion oil to the threads and seat of the mounting bolts.

Tighten in criss-cross fashion.

Pictures later tonight.
