velocitymotorsports Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 On the subject of suspension the part I am talking about would be the non-adjustable OEM component type. There is a control arm available from Nissan that is 1 inch shorter in dimensions for the upper control arm and would allow the desired camber. This is a stock street car part and not expensive at all. It is the infinity part and is a direct bolt on. I know im being a pain about this so sorry in advance. LOL. On the clutch components is that kit number 3000s-vqhra ? Its listed as a 250mm clutch but states no other dimmensions or weight. Thanks.

laze1 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Interesting...but if it didn't come in a 350z, it is likely not legal. You wouldn't mind sharing that part number would you? That might solve a couple of problems that I am addressing...PM me that info if you would....thnx as for the clutch, if it is on the NISMO Spec Z parts list it is legal...call Nissan Motor Sports for more info. from the V2 Spec Z rules" Modifications, addition or removal of parts are not allowed, unless specified or approved in these rules.

laze1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Any idea when new rules will be discussed and/or released??? I am sure us racers have some suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WacoRacer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 We're working on the 2013 ruleset now. I'm open to all suggestions. The most effective ones are sent directly to me - clifton(at)drivenasa(dot)com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 A wish list of 2013 Rules...some doable, some crack-pipe Note: I received these from multiple drivers...and my personal thoughts Need to expand section 17 (f) to state what can be done besides "disabling ABS" ... Manual Bias Valve? Aftermarket single or dual Master Cylinder? Remote Bias controls for Driver? Changes to OEM Brake lines? Aftermarket Brake pedal/Master Cylinder assembly? Need to expand section 17 (g) to state that any Brake Ducting can be used, Or come up with a better kit than the Nismo/SCCA T2/3 kit. From Spec Z rules: 17.1 Brake System a) Brake pads are unrestricted. b) Brake rotors must be the same type, material, and dimensions as OEM. Brake rotors from alternate companies may be used. Brake rotors may be cryogenically treated. c) Steel braided brake lines may be used. d) Disc brake backing plates may be removed. e) The emergency brake level and/or cables and associated must remain functional. f) Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) may be disabled. g) Nissan Motorsports front brake cooling kit part # may be utilized. add rule that allow for drilling/cutting hole in rear strut brace to enable adjustments to the top of the Damper without having to remove the Damper from the car add rule that allow for drilling/cutting hole in front strut bar to enable adjustments to the top of the Damper without having to remove it from the car (in fact you cannot install the KW front dampers without either cutting the mounting studs or making a hole in the strut bar for them to pass through to allow the OEM strut to be reinstalled correctly allow for 18x10 wheels on all 4 positions MAKE DE ENGINE CARS BASE WEIGHT 3200 MAKE REVUP ENGINE CARS BASE WEIGHT 3300 MAKE HR ENGINE CARS BASE WEIGHT 3450 AND/OR RUN A RESTRICTOR Allow for battery relocation to any safe location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esr Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 A wish list of 2013 Rules...some doable, some crack-pipe Don't allow nismo cars so we dont have to get the silly bodywork Why are you allowing flashing of the Ecu?

kbrew8991 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 No Ecu flashing how can you enforce this / how can you tell what tune someone is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esr Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Are you for or against it? No Ecu flashing how can you enforce this / how can you tell what tune someone is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (generally) Less mods are better in a spec series, but, you've gotta have a way to enforce it. 1s and 0s are tougher to check than say a bumper, or weight, or an engine part. An unenforceable rule is worse than leaving a mod open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esr Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 [i don't agree I rather say no flashing and have severe penaltys for those braking the rules otherwise you will encourage geeks to loose more sleep trying to come up with crazy flashing. You could even swap Ecu amongs competitors at national events. Or have Nissan supply Ecu,s for the nationals Please KEEP IT SPEC IS ALREADY EXPENSIVE FOR A SPEC CLASS quote=kbrew8991](generally) Less mods are better in a spec series, but, you've gotta have a way to enforce it. 1s and 0s are tougher to check than say a bumper, or weight, or an engine part.

esr Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 [just focus on reliability, brakes, diff, etc. and lets go drive. I don't need fancy pedals. But I don't like brakes that fade, a burning diff, or taking the the suspension apart to adjust my shocks. You can't think is too much work to monitor a rule, successfull series are the ones that have a professional tech staff with tide rules.

laze1 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 There are several different ECUs for 350Z's ..so swapping between cars is pretty much out of the question... And in reality, NASA doesn't have the people/technology to check everybody ar the track...this is common PROBLEM for all race/TT groups. Everybody flashes ECUs today, street and track...my Pickup is flashed...so this rule isn't likley to change. And most importantly, Nissan sells a Flash for this as well, so they have a profit motive here...and that is why they sponser racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotts300 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 This is why there is a HP maximum for each engine version, enforceable by dyno. I believe Jeremy failed it at Nats last year, made a change, then raced, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
