Yeah if it was on the white ceramic part it would be the valve cover gasket.

 

So you are saying the only way to tell is the tear the engine down? Oh well time to run on 5.5 cyllinders to victory! wooooooo

 

Might not be to bad lots of people have valve guide leaks and the cars run for years.

 

I am an ignoramus when it comes to fixing this.
Just watched a video. Looks like hell on Earth.
This is one you pay someone to do.

 

Did Al Hinds water heater on Friday. This is his 3100hp pro mod corvette.

 

sweeeeeet! That blower looks bigger than our engines!

 

It's the same one John Force uses apparently and that huge intake and the shell of the body is CF. Does the qtr in the 5's.

 

so today was an expensive day at the shop !
just came back from the weight balance.
3395 lbs ! at 1/4 fuel tank + driver & without the passenger seat + my new race seat(33.5lbs seat-bracket-floor mount)

I wont be able to go much lower than that
the splitter / wing / fuel surge tank /BBK and some minor stuff arent installed yet

 

geez, lose some weight fatso! :P What wheels was that with? I bet stock are heavy, that could be 40lbs there.

What wing are you going with? GT300?




I think I have completely decided against doing CSCS events, for a number of reasons, but mainly cost. If I do the minimum 7 events in CASC this year, it will run 1100 in event fees alone. If I do the MIR events/school, thats another 1200 on top. This does not include gas and food (easily $100+/event), wear on the car and consumables. Probably looking at about a $5000 budget for this year as it is, not counting car development.

I hate racing.

 

Ive been trying a little bit to lose weight but it doesnt work very good ,, im at 185lbs.

Right now the Z is still in winter mode ,, so it was with the stock 18'' & 225 winter tire....
my track wheel are 20bs & 21 but on 285 square setup for 2012. (its gonna be a bit more heavy)
I also installed the stock brake setup for the winter and my AP Racing BBK is quite more heavier than stock (not the akebono)

I say with all the mods I will be back at 3500lbs (including driver+1/2 tank of gas)

yeah im going with the GTC300 + gurney flap , still waiting for a quote ...
I will be working on the splitter this weekend hopping to finish it with bracket and everything.

 

Sweet. You work on racecars? What do you do exactly.

Remember, you need these.

and


Damn no CSCS? That means I will have to be 350Z by myself. But I understand. That's why my CASC time will be limited. Cost and time requirements. But I will try to show up to a couple so I can see what it is like for the future when I'm ready for the "big time".



Don't forget.

and

 

lol ,, you are too funny !!
hahaha

atleast with all that weight in the rear ,, I could make the car 50/50 front to rear ratio.. hehe

 

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread to post in but I am looking for anyone that has dealt with www.advancepowerhouse.com in Toronto.

I am looking for the best place to have my soon to be boosted Z in Ontario. They are an Uprev tuner and I will be running Uprev Osiris tuner but would like to hear some feed back if there is any out there Or if there are any other shops that any of you know of in Ontario that are up to the task and know WTF they are doing. Thanks in advance guys.

 

They are a well respected shop and I don't think you will find anyone with a negative opinion about them.
I was happy with my tune

 

Yeah I deal with them, and Brian has been good to me as a customer.

 

I had my z tuned by them and was happy with the process and results.

 

Good to know...just want to be sure about who is going to be working with my fairlady, if ya know what I mean.

 

I need a special e-test. Anyone have a lead where I can get one?

Or at the very least stock cats?

 

Doubt you will it's a $200,000 fine if he gets caught.
Find some cats.

 

Been looking for stock cats but can't find any. I found OEM "replacement" cats on kijiji but seller wants like $200-$300 for one side.

What do all the guys do that have test pipes, long tube headers, or are boosted?
