Well at least he's a guinea pig for testing how strong the rear end is. Notice how it seems only one tire is spinning even though this is a track model with the Viscous LSD.
350Z donuts

 

Must be nice to not worry about the cost of high performance tires. Looks fun regardless.

 

Man , thats pretty sad. It is probably somebody's poor pre-order getting PDI'd

 

It would be nice to do every now and then but not a once a month type of thing.

 

Good observation about either inside rear breaking loose under power. I'm only familiar with helical differentials like Torsen that would never do that. Anyone care to comment about what might be happening there?

 

Oh, is that what all the Valet's do when they go on break!! I hope the owner was in the driver seat and not some turd having some fun.

 

I actually examined the video more closely and saw that eventually the other tire started to smoke and spin as well. I think we are seeing the weakness of the stock viscous LSD. This one starts to work after one wheel has started to slip, and that causes the fluid inside the diff case to spin to give power to the other wheel. If you look closesly, after about a second that the one wheel starts to spin, the other starts to emit smoke.

 

It points up a real drivetrain weakness for autocross or track use. By the time the viscous coupling starts reacting, it may be too late for the car to benefit from redirected torque. That's why I like Torsen's so much...no wheelspin needed. They react at the slightest difference in axle rotational speeds, and they maintain their effectiveness for the life of the car. Wonder if Nismo has one in the works?

 

how come i cant view it??

 

I can't either. I'm at work though, maybe the IT guy has the site blocked for some reason? I'll try again tonight when I get home.

 

negative, looks like its gone.

either way, easy way to find out guys... do a simple lauch with the RPMs high, say 5000? then examine the ground to see how many tread marks you got.

 

Ummm... damage to the car much?

 

All I see is some huge fat guy sitting there half naked. With a caption saying "sorry I ruined it for everyone."

 

Same here

 

Im assuming that fat man ate the donuts.

 

Yea i was a link ***** and just linked to whomever's site that was. Prolly ate up all his bandwidth so he killed the files. I have a hard copy of it but nowhere to upload it to, if anyones offering webspace.

 

well you didnt see me offering to do it did you?

if someones willing to do that... perhaps this isnt the first time hes done such a thing or not the first time that day. and the lsd was already over heated. just an idea.

 

How does somebody with a yellow card and a red card still be an active poster? Shouldn't he be automatically banned for some amount of time?

If not, why not?

 

lol... but true... what's up with that?
