That being said.......I frick'n miss driving the 370! It's a blast to drive!! My buddies on the corvette forum would have a field day with what I just said but I'm like you, the 370 is fun to drive and should make me a better driver because the 370 at this point is a "momentum" car, kinda like a spec miata. I'm looking at a pic of it as I type and can't wait to get out at Willow the 18th

< that tell ya anything

Leh Keen made a comment to me after he drove it at Button Willow, " this car will be a blast to drive when you get it sorted" ....he drives for a Rolex Porsche team lehkeen.com

Z06STAN

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am Corvette Pilot on that forum, the powdercoater guy.

See you there Stan! Will be there in my 370Z testing Version 2 of Kognition's wing, plus I might also be doing some off-season testing for the Berk Technology BMW 135i time attack car. I am more than willing to give rides in the 370Z to whoever wants one!

You too Mike!

Robi said the OS Geiken LSD with oil cooler will be in along with KW adjustments. I like driving a different car each time I go out to the track.

Thanks Robi.....you da man

The LSD will help tremendously at Streets of Willow. Your car should be fast there for sure.

Mike, did you customize your LSD clutch plate packing at all or did you leave it stock, i.e. maximum lock up?

Just an out of the box Carbonetic.

on the redline website, there is a listed of "registered racers". is this just a list of those who are competing or does "racers" mean ALL drivers? i want to find out how full it's going to be. 100 max is too much in my opinion.

Thats ALL drivers. No competition at this event. Just a track day for fun to wrap up the season

. The finals were back in November.

I doubt 100 cars will be showing up. Be lucky if 30 showed up. Slow sign-ups for sure and close to Christmas.......mas track time for us

which car did you drive? i only saw one other z out there and it was mike's.

overall very fun event. does anyone know if redline will post the results? my best time of the day was 1:31.00 (sooo close to 1:30) on my ultra lap timer. temp was 82 degrees. eibach springs, hotchkis sways, spc front arms, and stock everything else.

there's still probably about 1-2 seconds to be had, i think, but i havnt quite figured out the best way through the chicane yet. turn 1 is also a bit unsettling if you dont tap the brakes before entering. on my miata, i used to go full through turn 1 and hard on the brakes before entering 2. but on this car, it's too fast if i stay on the gas and the rear gets all light and uneasy.

even with the track pack lsd you need a second "short shaft" the only one which is a direct replacement is a nismo plate style locker...so be warned...!

People have installed the Carbonetic carbon LSD as a direct replacement to the Sport model viscous LSD without having to add any parts that I'm aware of. I was told only the non-LSD diff required the 2 side shafts replaced.

Robispec · 12-23-2009, 02:33 PM

that may be so for the carbonetic but the osg requires two short shafts and the viscus has a short and a long shaft so you would need a second short shaft.
