May 28 MMSC Auto Slalom
May 29th, 2008
We took the Nissan 350Z to the local MMSC Auto Slalom event yesterday and left with FTD (Fastest Time of the Day). It was our first event using our new Jim Wolf Technology clutch and flywheel upgrade. We were impressed with the result. The car has better response throughout the RPMs. The course was a mix of fast slaloms and tight corners, with speeds reaching near 100km/h on the back sections.
Just an update on our gearbox problem last weekend, it seems that our problem is a bad syncronizer.
Shown here is the transmission shifted into 3rd gear and the shift collar gets jammed by the square block that is indicated by the arrow.
I love how you can plunk the guts of your gearbox on your living room coffee table and live to post the photos. My wife would kill me for doing that. :-)
