And I have 5x folks VERY interested...all current or recent Nissan races

 

Southeast or nationwide?

 

This makes me wanna sell my stuff I just bought and run this class.

 

Exactly

 

My main concern is are the brembos legal if your car wasn't equipped with them. I haven't install any of the parts that I bought. However I did buy kw v3s and I would need to buy new wheels.


I wouldn't compete this year. But next year would be ideal. No point in install all those parts and then turn around to sell them a year later.

 

I am not sure. We need to find out who will be the main director or point of contact for the series and ask them. I would think we should be able to because they have the track models from 03-06 I think that all come with Brembos and it wouldn't be fair that they can run them and we can't even though we have to adhere to the same power/weight. Since you live close to me, we would be competitors. That's good to know that there would be at least two of us as of now. We need to get more. I've never seen a Z compete W2W in our region.

 

I know of 2 guys that live in ft Wayne, that might do this as well

 

If you compare the Ford Contingency program with Nissan's...you can see that Ford pays out more money, but needs MANY MORE cars to earn ANY payout! Nissan's strategy is a good way to encourage folks to join a start-up program by having only 2 cars required to win real $$$$$$

I didn't know Ford's was that good.

I think Nissan is doing a good job drawing a crowd here.

I need to change a lot of stuff though. I am still on the fence.

 

I have talked to the NASA-SE Head Cheese Jim Pantas ...he is gonna put me in touch with the "to be determined" new Spec Z NASA National Director...when ever that job is filled....more to follow!

 

Thanks. I would like to know. Do we get a new NASA forum spot too?

 

I have a hunch that the new SE director is someone on this forum.

 

Does it seem like NASA is way more popular out here in the Midwest to southeast regions compared to the western half of the country?

 

Can somebody confirm This????? I don't see why not ...

 

There are fundamental differences like the frame welds.

 

yessir, I'll kick it around during my HPDE's this year.

 

Dude all you Indiana guys should come over to the June 30th Mid-Ohio event!

Anyone been able to contact Nissan Motorsports for clarity on the suspension?

 

I have an email in to get prices on all the spec parts. I thought we could choose between the spring and shock combo or the coilovers?
