Thread: We did it! 1st place at NASA Nationals in TTF in our Infiniti G20

Hell yeah!!!! Congrats on an awesome weekend. Vids & details if you can.

video needs to be downloaded and sorted but I'll post up later...

thanks

cant wait!

For anyone curious, here is the winning formula of what all has been done to the car:

- the car itself (haha) -- 1995 g20 shell from California (not used chicago winters at all) with currently 218,xxx miles on it
- engine out of 99 g20 automatic w/approximately 118,xxx miles now
- dyno peaked at 131whp w/115 torque (average of 3 pulls)
- LSD transmission out of 95 g20t (just replaced bearings last month)
- SSAC exhaust, copper gasket w/custom 2.5" piping to 2 cherry bombs (just grassroots home-made stuff here)
- custom front power steering cooler
- solid aluminum front and rear mounts on p11 crossmember
- ABS removed w/Altima Master Brake Cyl and redone front brake lines eliminating the extra weight/lines from ABS along with goodridge SS lines at all 4 corners w/Super Blue brake fluid in the system
- cooling ducts installed where foglights were on front bumper cover
- rear decklid from non-t so no more wing (wing costs points we didn't need)
- ARP longer Studs in front hubs
- P11 front brake carriers (same calipers) w/p11 rotors and Hawk DTC-60 race pads up front and HAWK HPS pads in the rear.
- Momo Competition steering wheel
- Front Lower Control Arms have SuperPro bushings installed
- custom offset upper control arms w/delrin to provide some much needed negative camber
- AMR Coilover suspension
- horn relocated to momentary bluelight button
- battery relocated behind passenger seat properly fused/grounded in battery box for weight offset
- mechanical water temp, oil temp and oil pressure gauges
- digital voltmeter guage
- cruise control still connected and working
- door panels still installed and power windows still working
- A/C completely removed along with all airbags completely removed
- interior gutted (no radio or speakers, no carpet or trim other than headliner and door panels still in place)
- no cat converter, no EGR, ABS bulb removed (so no idiot light for ABS lights up)
- CEL is on because of no Cat converter (no testing required for 95 and older cars here in Illinois so yes it is legally titled, plated and insured for street driving here)

And the wheel/tire combo that helped us win is:

225 45 15 Hoosiers (stickered new) on Rota 15x8s ET35 up front with 205 50 15 Hoosiers (old with many heatcycles) on back 15x7 ET40 Borbets.

We did lots of recent refreshes such as axles along with upper and lower control arm bushings and more in prep for Nationals.


So now we have 10 CURRENT NASA Track records, MidO Nationals TTF record along with the 2011 NASA Nationals TTF Win

Congratulations!

thank you

Congrats! Thats pretty impressive.It looks like you did it on a small budget,too.

Mike definatly wheels that thing! His time was good enough for P3 in TTE. He's often gridded right near us, and often ahead!
