Another track day

Elmo370z · 12-11-2016, 10:20 PM

Went out to sebring today and the car ran without any problems what so ever except for the overwhelming diff/tranny fluid smell. The RRp also worked as expected, wasn't paying attention until the 3rd session and looked down and had 3 dots left. The yaw swtich worked perfectly, went in hot a couple times and locked up the wheels for a brief moment, and spun out in turn 10

. Gearing was a bit of a issue on some parts of track (ran out of gear, tried up shifting and it worked. Downside to that alot of downshifting throughout the day). Happy with the results none the less.

Diff oil fluid smell can be diff pressurising and pushing diff oil out the overflow and it drops onto the exhaust ............ With 3.9 or 4.08 gears the ring gear is a tad more offset and it can fling diff fluid straight at the breather orifice.

I rerouted my diff breather pipe to go into a can I can drain.

Does not take much fluid on the zorst to make a stink.
