dat2kman Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Dat2kman took the giant killer Datsun Sports2000 , but in qualifying managed an engine over rpm situation which caused all inlet and exhaust valves to be not so well seated, 9000 rpm did this, total driver error. Went home to bring out the well known group Sc Datsun 280Z, and as this car was not considered to be " qualified" to set grid position, he had to start all remaining races from rear of grid in a 34 car field, at such a disadvantage, you would think he would be an bit aggrieved! Best result was a fourth outright and a best lap time of 1.31:0? Passing Ferrari's , 327 Corvette, Porsche's and many others Fellow Z racer an Tarmac specialist Jon Siddens was circulating in the 1.35's Track layout used was the new extended full perimeter three kilometer long circuit The dark blue stock prod sports 280 was driven to within an inch of it's mechanical capability, it now needs a gearbox freshen up!

bluerat Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Good work, 4 seconds a lap quicker than Siddens!! How bad is the Sports? big fix? Quote
PZG302 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Well done Jason, sure you don't want to play in the blue car for the one hour in Sept??? Quote
260DET Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I believe this sort of result when the incar video uploads Quote
dat2kman Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Good work, 4 seconds a lap quicker than Siddens!! How bad is the Sports? big fix? Ahh yes, Jon was in his green car, not the gun Tarmac orange/ black car, and he was running in the regularity events, which he won for the weekend, he nominated 1.35 and was only a poofteenth either side during events. The U20 engine will need con rod bolts, all new 50 mm inlet valves, seats, piston flycuts Dremeled smooth, while at it new bearings and we need to look at the oil pump, it has slight scoring giving only 60 psi at 1500 rpm instead of usual 80 It'll be out and back in within a month. Ps I'm in for the Alpine , see ya there, do you and the Tassie brigade want to join the "official"service crew, I already have approx 20, the more the merrier!! Ll Quote

Heck I can't even work out how to burn it onto a DVD/CD Anyone for film night at my joint? Quote

MAZDA Coward...... Who roughed up the mazdas last year and took off my front bar??? Didn't see any paint or dings in the back of the car from them...... Bad luck about the U20, it could have been worse.... Quote
dat2kman Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 That's interesting AM information on TNF. Well spotted.!! When I am in Melb for events my father in law and I call in to say hi to al-pal, he is very interested in how I go in the historics. His sons Dato 1600 is in the workshop at Toorak, hence the Dato interest! I caught up with Pete Arca in Germany a couple months back, he is working for Chinese auto makers designing cars, last project was a rather odd 4x4 for the Saudi's, too much "bling" I said, Pete said " they pay the bills!"
