So, turn 7 high speed right, straight, sharp right a entry of 6 with big arc to 5 and... Choke... Left at 4 and left at 3 with high speed right sweeper 2 to 1 choke there too. Oil temps 240 and no error lights or other indication. Heck of a "track car" ya built there Nissan. Hot oil, hot brakes and a fuel system that can't handle a spirited turn... But I did like the handling during my sessions on track even though I was limited to three laps per while all the stock BMWs and Porsches went without a hitch for a dozen... May be something there... And so, the track mods begin!

Yep - CW at TWS is a killer from the front straight to the carousel. I was at Cresson 2 weekends ago running the 3.1 and forgot to fill up for a session - "2 dots down from full" and dam if it didn't happen in turn 9. No matter how you slice it - CCW or CW - big right hand sweeping turns and the current Nismo setup will not work.

Come on Phunk - WE NEED YOU!!!!!!
