Had the same instructor for my first track day at Laguna Seca! Super nice and cool British dude. Forgot his name unfortunately, but he told me the story of how he got that red and yellow Celica GTS and the oil dry sump system in it. You can tell he has a lot of experience and seeing him do a few runs in the Advanced group with a bunch of M3s, GT3s, and an AMG GTR in the Celica gave me hope for being in an underpowered FF car
Heads up, turn 5 you wanna follow that porsche and swing wide, a 350 should be able hit sub 2's and youre running with T8? See you on the track dude! I usually sit in inter 1, i was alao behind that trailer next to the mclaren that day haha
Why wouldn’t you take traction control off during the track day? That system on the 350z is so over bearing it’ll cut all power for the entirety of the gear your on.
@@ChrysGaines In that case stop driving the car, pull the oil pan and check your rod bearing clearances with a platigauge. And overall condition of your bearings and crankshaft journal. Mine didn’t give me any warning and I didn’t do this. So I had to resort in buying an entire good condition crankshaft and bearings. And pull the motor. This could be an 80 dollar fix.
i’m planning on getting a new motor to build for potential boost so i’d rather just pull it entirely. i could tear down the old one and possibly fix it for resale
assuming the bearings are the issue. if i find something else, its more hassle. the car has 160k miles on it, its time for a new motor if i want to track it and beat on it
I know this sounds stupid, but are you sure this is not just the regular break in metal? After you rebuilt it. To be fair i dont know how extensive the rebuild was
@@ChrysGaines I swear i saw people talking about how it was rebuild, oh well. Have you thought to supercharge it? I love 350s and 370s since i played prostreet as a kid and i rember supercharging one lol
"competitions looking weak..." *mclaren casually chilling*
Senna as well… easily top 5 best street legal track cars
Must feel very rewarding to track a car you’ve built, love to see it
Hell yeah! What a first too at Laguna Seca! That's my favorite track in the US, fond memories on gran turismo
Video 11 of asking for you to install that cheap titanium lambo exhaust

@@ChrysGaines I’m talking about an afternoon worth of work and 80-100 dollars worth of parts.

Weak that’s a McLaren 💀

didn’t rebuild the engine, it has 160k miles lol. i just got back from a 1200 mile road trip to vegas that definitely stressed the motor
