prisoner of war - missing in action. it's what the military says when the don't know where the heck you are and they don't have a body. wink.gif

 

Sorry for the lack of info! I wasn't really MIA just so pissed that I didn't want to post...... Well needless to say I got three runs in. All three were between 17.02 and 17.3 all with a reaction time of between 1.01 and 1.05. And now for what happened. Lets see, first go I was a little shacky it being my first time at the track so I didn't rip the gears too hard. The second time I was pared up with a 350z. I had watched the guy earlier and he really was bad. Well I had him off the line big time and probably would have kept it but...... Oh know where did second go? I threw it into second at 6k rmps and it didn't go into second. Not go in and grind, it wouldn't even go in. So what did I do? I threw it back in first (didn't let it engage) and tried again, still no go. By this time I knew I was going to get creamed so I let the rpms drop down to about 5k (while in neutral) and then the b**** went in gear. Just as it went in gear the 350 went by me. You guys should have heard some of the words coming out of my mouth. The third try I undershifted at 5k rpms into second (which still grinded all to hell cause I shift VERY hard and VERY fast) and so that run sucked ass too.

I dont know what to do. My thoughts were:

- Get a VHR Clutch System
- Get the M&Tec Turbo level gear set (basicly bullet proof)
- Get the M&Tec LSD
- Get the b**** tranny rebuilt

BTW, I didn;t have the CAM installed when I raced it was done the next day. You can feel a noticable difference with it.

 

the first thing you should do is go here :
<a href="http://www.rdtiburon.com//index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=5059#5059" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:100%"><span style="color:darkred"><u>"Shifting into 2nd..."</u></span></span>
</a>
if that doesn't work then go for the VHR, then the dif, THEN dropp a shit load of cash on the turbo gearing if none of the above worked.

sorry to hear about it......Better luck next time......

 

I have The Redline gear oil and the Lucas Stabilizer. It helped for the first 15k miles but now it is back to how it was before. I may replace all the fluids again and try to shorten the cable. Thanks!

 

oh, and i forgot......there will be a GB coming up for suspension bushings w/ motor mounts as an option coming up......

that may help a little also.

 

OY! that's really bad....
