When someone used an entire tube of RTV to seal the oil pan. Worked way better than just hammering at it.

A few hiccups, but the Z made it to the track, competed, and made it home. Also made a dead raccoon much deader and somehow the splitter survived 🤘

Apparently the answer to the question of when should I switch to winter tires was yesterday 🤷

First Time Attack in the books and the Z and I did better than expected. New personal best lap time, 2nd in Unlimited 1, 5th overall, and a top 10 lap time, all in less than ideal conditions. Needs more aero, a brake refresh/upgrade, some different tires, and more driver mods, but she's darn quick.

Our VQ30 motor swap is not going as planned so we brought out the old beater today and started prepping it for the next race. We just can't get away from the Single Jingle 🤷

My office for today. Doing a Test-n-Tune with our endurance racing S13 prepping for a dual 7hr Enduro in a couple of weeks. These cars are so much fun.

So close to test firing the motor...until the clutch pedal went straight to the floor. Need to re-bleed and try again. Still a lot of work to do over the winter but having a running car would be great motivation.

New PB by 2s and the track was still cold. When this thing runs right it's a riot 🤘

It's dirty, the brakes still aren't bled properly, the front isn't fully back together, and I pulled the wing off to make trailering easier, but tonight I drove my Z for the first time in nearly 2 years. It is so loud inside with nothing left to deaden sound, I'm going to need ear plugs.

It's 75 in November in Ohio, loaded up the canoe one more time before changing over to winter mode.

The Z ventured out for an autocross today prepping for a Time Trial next weekend. Got it back to the shop and now I have a coolant leak to fix 🤬 but at least I think I know where it is.

An update from an earlier post on my new personal shop: some LED fixtures rolled into the shop yesterday. Still working on getting tools and storage over bit by bit before I figure out where the big stuff is going (compressor/welder/etc)

Our first race of the season just got cancelled but chassis #24 is back together and ready for whenever they allow us to race again.

Only took 2 months, but finally got the last big piece of the suspension upgrade puzzle (Bilstein B6 DCC struts). Still need to pick up some hardware and I keep thinking about grabbing a few more bushings, but I can finally start thinking about the install.

Follow up to yesterday's post about trying to make a heat shield. Took some time, but it came out pretty good. Hopefully the motor goes back in tomorrow.

Next stage in the suspension upgrades are some Bilstein B6 DCC compatible shocks and some 034 mounts. Hoping this cures my clunk 🤞

Question for the group. Does anyone know of a set of coilovers for the S13 that is ride height adjustment only, no dampening adjustment (other than Maxspeedingrods)? Trying to work around rules for our race series. Picture from this weekend for attention.

The mock-up didn't get a lot of love so here it is fully installed (not expecting a better response). Still need to have it powder coated black but waiting on a couple of quotes to come back after the weekend. Editing together an install video for anyone who might be interested.

It looks like a 350Z again! The bumper is going to have to come off again to finish some things up but I needed to check some fitment stuff so I had to give myself some temporary joy.

Update on today's trip back to the track, when you do stupid things your Z becomes a very flashy lawnmower. No major damage found, but lot of cleaning to do.

Installed racing AC in the Z today. Only works for the driver and has to be recharged every couple hours but at least I won't have to sit in an oven anymore.

The practical hot hatch. Managed to squeeze 5 285/35r20 tires in back (not mounted) so it's probably a good thing the 6th tire got delayed until Monday.

Apparently the time to switch to winter mode was last weekend. The PS4S's did pretty well except for one black ice corner I saw coming. PA4's going on this weekend.

For anyone trying to remove sound deadener, do yourself a favor and buy an undercoat scraper for an air hammer and some freezer spray. You have to be a little careful not to ding up the body but it is so much faster and easier than any other method I've tried so far.

Not much of a looker, but she's definitely light and should be pretty quick once we get her out on the track. Got the motor back in today along with more of the cabin safety gear. Hopefully going to fire it up next weekend.
