Rusty's Nismo Journal

Just unplug it and be done with it. The event instructors are always leery about telling people to disable traction control because they don't want to be held liable when you wipe your car out, but... the thing really needs to be completely disabled anywhere beyond a very beginner level in practice, at least on this car. It's just ugly and intrusive, and it still screws up your manual control of rear wheel slip on corner exits when the VDC button is turned off (because "VDC Off" doesn't disable ABLS, but pulling the Yaw Sensor does!)

Tire pressures end up being pretty dynamic based on conditions anyways. Get an IR thermo and shoot them at the center and sides (of the tread face) and aim to get even temps all across the surface, and/or chalk-mark the sidewall up onto the tread to see if you're using it right up to the limit of the tread.

Very - don't blow up your oil pump!

Here's a video from my first session from last Tuesday. I caught a purple SRT8 that wouldn't let my pass. So I pitted in to let him go.

Took the Nismo on a long weekend. Only to have it break down. Think maybe the stock fuel pump went belly up. I can hear phunk's fuel pump prime. But can't hear the stock fuel pump prime. Had to rent a u-haul truck and trailer to get home. Soon as I get some time. I'll check it out in more detail.

Good news. The Nismo is fixed. Self-inflicted problem. When I installed phunk's road race fuel pump. On one of fuel lines. Where it slides over a fitting. I didn't have the hose clamp up far enough on the hose. This allowed the hose to slowly slip off over a period of time. When the hose came off. It quite feeding fuel to the engine.
