New PR at Limerock! 1.04.24 Great way to end the season
SO CLOSE to 1.03s, good goal for next year.
This was one of those days you think about all winter. 60s and sunny. Lots of track time and great fall weather.

Still here! Took a little break. Found and installed a New old stock APS oil pan. Now its 7.5qt capacity! Had to flip the cooler adapter around and swap a 90 for a 60 fitting. This pan is HUGE! Reliability is tops. Thanks @MadBoost

I wonder why I don't see large oil pans on Zs very often. I have an aluminum one like that on my 240sx and my oil temps were always great even without an oil cooler.

Yea man, this thing has been discontinued for some time. Looking forward to all the oils! Hopefully some extended changes this will pay for itsself in no time. I have been keeping a log with blackstone since the start.

Got on thunderbolt with BMW club SUPER weather 80s and sunny all weekend. Harrys didn't seem to want to work for me so no lap times to report Car ran 100% still VERY HOT inside the cabin, getting worse I think. Almost unbearable at times.

Got a little break coming up. My buddy gave the Z a complete paint correction. LONG time coming. Took about 15 hours!
Still tons of paint chips

Some new projects are done on the track toy. HOPEFULLY the cats were making my car become insanely HOT on track. Was worse than ever at NJMP.
Tests pipes and exhaust! Fast intentions exhaust from @camposrod !

Heat shield products the whole front section on both sides.








LRP in a few weeks, I will report back on the cabin heat issue.

Got a new racecapture hooked up as you can see above. So far so good. Was able to log a TON of channles via CAN with the help from nextrev motorsports https://www.nextrevmotorsports.com/ Contact them for support getting it hooked up, I dont want to give away their proprietary files.
Whole new thing to learn! Steering angle is very cool, I would recommend more sample rate that I have tried.

Made it back to New York Safety track this year! Local shop AZP organizes a casual lapping day. Knocked 2sec off my time from last year. Starting to figure out this track, its super technical.
1.44.7

Slider kept coming loose was scary! Going to swap to solid mounted seat. Forget this slider nonsense.

I have a racecapture, but it's just been sitting around. How spendy is it for NexRev to send over the file profiles, etc?
