That's because I didn't do any. : ) I just sanded the existing partially sanded hood more to feather out the edges and then applied white epoxy primer. That'll do for now. Quote Link to comment

Nah, the hood will just match the trunk lid now. We just needed to get rid of the FMPC (Front Mount ParaChute) we were running last year. That old hood skin may have been fine for 3/8mile ovals but it had definitely seen its last 120mph blast down a straightaway. The new hood has all the stock bracing underneath and should hold up much better. --carter 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Mother nature played an April Fools joke on me! I had noticed Sunday night that the hood seemed a little tacky still. I think I probably put too many coats of primer on - at least for the temperature. The weather forecast called for a couple of days of no clouds (as close as we get to "Sun" in Washington this time of year) so Monday morning I put the hood on the patio leaned up against a chair. We get full sun there all day so I thought that would be good for the hardening process. Well later in the day I was walking between buildings at work and noticed it was a bit breezy. I thought of the hood leaning up against the chair and... CRAP!!! Sure enough, when I got home that night I found the hood face down on the ground. Half on the concrete patio, half in the grass. I brought it inside to safety and found that the paint had now hardened alright - with grass inlay! Now we have a "fibergrass" hood. How's that for racecar stuff? I was kicking myself but the boys said they could live with it - we have other things to worry about - so Thursday evening I gave it a quick wet-sand to knock off the ridges, and loaded the hood into my truck, putting a rag under the nose at the back of the cab so as not to create any more damage/scratches. Well, the rain on Friday transferred dye from the rag to the nose of the hood and now we have a pink patch on the leading edge to go with the grass stains. Not my best week... I found some pretty dress-up parts to go with the front end, maybe if we polish them up nice enough no one will notice my - um - workmanship. Friday we had another night in the garage. Finished all the main mechanical stuff, fitted the hood, did a final bolt and fluid check, bolted on the wheels, and set the car on the ground. Nice to see it on a set of wheels again. Jeff and Sam proceeded with the alignment check while I started fixing the rocker damage from the MR2 hip check at Pacific Raceways. Before I could start welding it back together, it was time to take the car for a test drive to see if we fixed the clunking problem that ended our last race. I drew the short straw so under the cover of darkness I headed out onto the road for a quick shakedown. The clunk is gone but it has been replaced by a couple of new noises. Slightly dragging rear rotor and a different thunk near the trunk. Jeff hopped in to verify and found the same issues, but the really bad clunking is gone. Then Sam gave it a shot and gave the brakes a good test too. Seems the rear brakes lock up first and pretty easily at that. Sam idled back into the garage where we started to think about what the new clunk was. We opened the trunk to find a piece of a shelving unit that was sliding back and forth hitting the quarter panel. Well that was an easy one. Then we popped the hood to find a pool of steaming water coming out from under the car... What the?! Looked like the waterpump gasket failed somehow. Maybe from sitting outside in the winter with no coolant and all those freezing days. Anyway, we pulled off the pump and put a fresh coat of hondabond on it and wrapped it up for the night. Jeff was going to check it this morning to see if that was our problem. Meanwhile we found the brake bias was adjusted so the fronts were all the way "Less Brake" which must contribute to why our rears lock up so easy. It is now adjusted the other way. We plan to autocross tomorrow if we fix the waterleak so we can finish dialing in the brakes then. Fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I was hoping Jeff or Sam would chime in but basically, we found that the water pump leak was not a failed seal to the block but instead a failed shaft seal so the water was pouring out the weep hole. Fortunately, Jeff had another SR20DE sitting on the garage floor so he signed it up on the organ donor program and "borrowed" its water pump. Crisis averted! So... We made it to Evergreen Speedway last weekend. The 2019 autocross experience was 1,000 times better than the 2018 autocross experience. Look, Jeff is all smiles! That's because the car ran great all day! Here was the course. So many cars there! Over 80. I haven't seen that many for a while. I had church in the morning so Jeff had already finished his first runs when I got there and Sam was in the middle of his. It was raining in the morning but was starting to dry up so I had a little better conditions than the other guys. Still a little slick out there when Jeff started round 2. http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(1).MOV.4df756ffa8fac8fffe8e3a4059875f4e.MOV Rick was racing today too - his 510 is now SR20DE powered as well: http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(2).MOV.7899932904521b308ccb65fcd9ef6a54.MOV You can see a dry line starting to form in this video: http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(3).MOV.89020940a61d12f76009317942d69083.MOV Here's one of Sam's runs in his second round.

I was carrying way too much speed through the left hander and then would end up pushing toward the apex cone for the right hander and then push out wide on the right hand. Turns out this section is best taken tight at low speed, rather than wide at higher speed. Here's one of Jeff's full runs: http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(5).MOV.ca61c377de9c7ab634d220b84280451f.MOV And here is Sam: http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(6).MOV.0c7691191d85bb377a3605d2ee1df73e.MOV Looks like a Sunday drive from the stands but I can assure you these runs are balls out! Another run during the end of the day. Engine sounds awesome! http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_04/04072019_swamp_thing_autocross_(7).MOV.8bcfb287a67c3c7ffd6eee9e7679cacf.MOV We learned that our old tires from last year still had a little grip left in them. That tennis shoes are too wide to hit the brakes without hitting the gas pedal as well (!!!) That hitting the brakes and the gas at the same time in a car with no front valence results in a free trip around the track for any nearby cones. That we need a shift knob (all we could find was a giant novelty skull). And that we need to re-do the cage some day. It's WAY too far forward. In the end, Jeff finished 4th in RWD with me and Sam not far behind. We beat so many nicer, faster, more powerful cars in this old beat up piece of junk. It's great!

carterb Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) We are only 2 weeks away from The Ridge now... Friday we shared a Garlic Jims pizza and got some more work done. Jeff welded up the split in the rocker. Sam mounted the new window net (they expire you know...) And I worked on getting the front valance mounted. It's not pretty - but have you seen the rest of the car? : ) Lots of other stuff too. We reversed the shifter so it sticks farther forward. WAY more comfortable. I worked on new side mirrors for quite a while but was unable to finish the mounts. Jeff and Sam spent a while looking at re-routing the air intake to hopefully improve performance and fuel efficiency but also came away with nothing to show for their efforts. New tires will be mounted this week and then it's time to make final preparations for the first race. It's coming quick! Edited April 13, 2019 by carterb 2 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 That looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing the vids. ...and it looks way better with the new/used valance. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 We had our last garage night before the race next weekend and I didn't get any photos. I asked the guys to make and update and do you know what they said? Jeff does the Instagram posts and Sam does the Facebook posts. So I guess that leaves you guys with me... Sorry. Nice to know we have the social media trifecta going though. Pretty soon this little resurrected 510 racecar will be a household name right?! : ) Speaking of Facebook. Someone posted this shot of Sam scrubbing the tires at the last autocross. Notice how unloaded the left rear is! I don't know if we got a picture of that novelty skull shift knob but we definitely needed something better for the race. (last year we just borrowed the knob from Jeff's tan 510) so I got this in the mail mid week. Thanks Amazon Prime! (insert sponsorship dollars here) To put it on though, we'd need to do a little work to the shifter. Fortunately I had just the tool! M10x1.25 die FTW! Sam sent me some photos from last night. Besides getting the shift knob in place, We got the new front tow straps fabbed and mounted (thanks Jeff) Front marker lights, transponder mount, and stickers installed (thanks Sam) New polyurethane steering rack mounts (thanks boys) New mirror mounts fabbed and mounted. Door skin remounted. Plus a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Just a couple loose ends before we load up Friday and head to Shelton to take on The Ridge. Fingers crossed we spend more time on the track than behind a tow truck this year! Any of you Olympia or peninsula area ratsun guys looking for something to do next weekend, drop on by. We'll try to bring some extra Cokes. 4 Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Getting closer and the weather is turning to our favor. One of the last things to do before the weekend is get the new tires mounted. And last night (after over a month of back and forth) I finally was able to pick up a spares set of rims - so that should give us the ability to keep racing should we get a puncture. That's a good thing as we are a pretty lean operation and don't have much in the way of spare part should something happen during the weekend - and it always has. 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Jeff tested the new wheels yesterday to make sure they fit before mounting the tires. ...said they look great compared to the originals. He found a place on 99 cheaper than Les Schwab (not hard to do) to get them mounted and balance. We're rollin' now! The adventure continues tomorrow morning. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 A friend of mine bought the primo chinesium Mayflower tire machines a couple months ago. Freaking awesome to do my own tires at 10pm 😀. Only $1400.... Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Friday was get ready and get on the road day. Here we are loaded up at Jeff's house. The suburban is still out of commission so we're taking Jeff's D21 and my 620. Combined the mileage is probably better than the suburban anyway. : ) Jeff talks on the phone more than a teenage girl! 510 510!!!! We left early enough that traffic wasn't too bad. But someone was hungry. Turns out these guys make AWESOME sandwiches! Got to the track too early so they put us in holding Team Jaybo Racing! A few good humor cars in the paddock We got checked in and made it through tech in lightning time. Didn't even ask us to pop the hood. (?) Perhaps they thought we were only going to make it a couple hours again so what's the point of a thorough inspection? Day 1 - Job done! Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Saturday morning starts early at the track. Driver's meeting was at 8am so we got there about 7:30 after buying all the gas in Shelton. Hey! I like icecream! This guys was actually pretty fast. Jeff and I warmed up the car in "qualifying" and then Sam started the race for us. Here is the full field of 82 cars. EIGHTY TWO CARS! http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/04272019_swamp_thing_(2).MOV.2e7ef1002d4332afbc22974b0f08d806.MOV The race started about 20 minutes late because there was no ambulance at the track. The organizer asked what the best way to get a hold of the ambulance people was. I figured calling 911 was too obvious so I kept my comment to myself. We didn't think much about it at the time but starting 20 minutes late would have a big impact later in the race. It was a beautiful day but it was WINDY!!! We had the 2nd pit stall facing the wind and the guys next to us had everything blow over including their data acquisition lap top. It was crazy! Anyway, the race was going really well. Sam completed his first stint with no issues, Jeff went second, I went third and to be honest, I spent most of my time getting out of other peoples way. So many cars on the track! And so many of them faster than us. At the end of the day we found we posted the 55th fastest time. Yikes! Nothing to be ashamed of though - we are solidly in group C and we were faster than last year. They double stacked the pits so we would have to turn out and back into the stall at a 45 degree angle to allow room for two cars per pit box. We were having allot of difficulty getting the car into reverse and after my first stint, we had given up and were just pushing the car backwards. I figured maybe the rubber shift boot was preventing us from actually selecting the gear so when Sam got in for his 2nd stint, we pulled the boot and sure enough, it slid into gear no problem. Victory! (Or so we thought) When Sam came in, he announced that we no longer had 5th gear. No reverse either. Nothing went crunch or anything, the gears were just no longer there. We are assuming a roll-pin ejected from the selector fork and would just soldier on with 4 gears for the rest of the day. We only used 5th for the last couple hundred yards anyway so figured it wouldn't be too terrible. The only other thing we struggled with during the day was rear end traction - which we got to a manageable level by decreasing the rear tire pressure. Had some family visitors during the day And some pit stop action: Then, during Sam's last stint - with about 15 minutes to go - 5 minutes after the race was supposed to originally end - he and everyone else on the track lost ALL traction as a huge black cloud rolled in and dumped hail on all of us!!! "What the hail is going on here?!" Sam managed to keep it on the black parts and we finished day 1. Yay! Here he is rolling into the pits after seeing the checkered flag. http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/04272019_swamp_thing_(3).MOV.29ff9750abd4be815397e05d13c19ce7.MOV Nice of him to drive the car in instead of bring it home on the back of a flatbed like Jeff did last year. : ) Edited May 17, 2019 by carterb 2 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Sunday had a shorter driver's meeting and no qualifying so we didn't have to start quite so early - a fact enjoyed most by Jeff who had been sick all week and still wasn't his usually bubbly self. Gorgeous weather today though and no wind either. We checked over the car and discussed our transmission options and decided to just keep going in 4spd mode and keep the revs below 7K since we would be holding that for quite a while at the end of the straight. Speaking of, some of you may want to know what the track looks like. Here is a map: I got to be first driver Sunday morning (thanks guys!) which is pretty exciting let me tell you - with all the cars packed up around you. We love driving this track by the way. It has so much character. Here is a little lap tour. Down the front straight we hit terminal velocity between the end of the pit exit and turn 1. Most people brake before turn 1 - including us - but by the end of day 2 I was going through there with just a little lift. Of course we aren't as fast as some of the other cars and we are driving a brick but still, it's pretty exciting rounding that bend without brakes. Then as you are arcing into turn 2, you DO need to scrub off some speed and downshift to 4th (or 3rd if you like) but you need to be careful since you are still "turning" unless you can straighten the car for a little bit if you want to get your braking done all at once. We (well I anyway) were easy on the car all weekend though, no one was trying to set a lap record. Our aim was to finish 2 days (14 hours) of racing. Oh shoot - where was I? About to fly off the track I think! Getting the speed just right for the left hander at turn 2 is CRITICAL! Carry too much speed and you push out wide which destroys your entry to turn 3, which screws up turn 4 and 5. Scrub off too much and you are too slow and need to wait 'till the top of the hill before you can start accelerating again. Get it right and it feels SO GOOD! The car moves around allot as you round 2 and compress the suspension heading up the hill toward 3. The turn 3 apex is at the crest of the hill and there is a nice curb there to catch with the inside tires. As the car unweights it's easy to get too aggressive as you start to feed in some more throttle but the back end will tell you if you're doing it wrong. Then you turn the wheel back to the left and hold on as the car dances through 4 and 5, the rear all the while wanting to step out if give it too much throttle or try to tighten the line too much. It's such a great experience feeling the grip from the tires translated through the car to your hands and seat. If you shifted into 3rd going into turn 2 you need to be back in 4th now because coming out of 5 it's roll on to WOT and drive toward the turn 6 carousel. There are many entry points to this turn and it's not a constant radius so you can't just follow the inside. You need to scurb off some speed before starting the turn or you will just push across the track and end up on the far outside of the turn. Again, it's a real balance of the right steering angle and throttle position to survive the turn without kicking out the rear or drifting out too far. There is not very much grip on the outside of the corner due to dirt and discarded rubber. Next is probably my favorite section of the track. As early as you can you open up the steering and get back on WOT and apex turn 7 pretty much going straight. Then the road drops out from underneath you as you descend down compress the suspension, downshift to 3rd, hard on the brakes, and initiate the turn at 8a and then it's immediately WOT again as you round 8b and start opening up the steering and flow to the outside of the track going downhill to turn 9. Nine is taken at full throttle and you continue to accelerate up the hill towards 10. This bit of track is actually a little scary because it's a blind crest so I always pay a little more attention to the flag station at this part of the track than any other. Turn 2-3 is blind too but the speeds are much lower so I don't really think twice about it - or maybe I'm just much more focused on keeping the car on the track. But this part of the track can take your breath away. Speaking of - it's important to breath while driving a racecar. Personally, I have to focus on breathing through my nose because we don't have a drink bottle settup and I can get an uncomfortably dry mouth endurance racing if I breath through my open mouth. But hey! This is no time to think about that, we are flying over a blind crest to a really complicated part of the track. The entry to turn 11 is broken by a little turn 10 kink and it's all slightly downhill and you are still picking up speed but recognize you need to brake but the track is moving around so much around you it is deceiving and can make it difficult to figure out where to brake and downshift in a straight line to make it through this tight left hander. It's REALLY hairy with traffic. And there was a LOT of traffic this weekend. Most cars seem to drive really deep into turn 11 and then cut back to a late apex and accelerate hard to 12. We dont' have as much weight to stop but also not as much power to accelerate so I spent most of the weekend taking a much more conventional line through this corner. Apexing in the middle and drifting out wide at the exit. Watching the other cars it was obvious they were about to get on the gas earlier but they also took more time to get around the corner so I'm still not sure what is best. This is one of the few areas on the track where 2nd gear would probably benefit us as it seemed to take forever to build the revs back up heading to 12 but in an effort to help our car last the weekend, I always kept it in 3rd and tried to keep my momentum up. Something that I could only accomplish successfully when I wasn't going through that complex with other cars - which was almost NEVER! Now then, we are WOT heading toward 12 and in the car, it seemed just as tight as 11, but on the track map, it's much more open and not even a full hairpin. Result is the same though, brake late, round the corner, feed in the throttle keeping the rear end in check and pick your path heading to 13, the 90 degree left hand entry to the corkscrew. The road is flat here until the braking zone where it dips downhill. There is enough straightway to get back into 4th too before you need to think about rounding that corner. This is a great place to mess up a lap! Save the braking too late and you will lock up the rear and come around the crest of the hill sideways. Brake too early and you enter the corner too tight and bump over the apex curb. Usually it's the first result - 'cause who wants to brake early?! Like 11 and 12, it seems like your line through 13 (as well as when to brake) is often dictated by the cars around you. Did I mention 82 cars is allot?! The hill drops quickly into the right hand 14 where you are just being patient and holding light throttle while finding a line into the turn 15 sweeper. The track flattens back out at the entrance and you are in 3rd gear balancing the throttle and traction for what seems like forever before you can finally start opening up the steering and rolling on the gas as you round the pit straight wall and blast down the straightaway. This is a great time remind yourself to breath, check the gauges, and build your confidence as you accelerate toward top speed before entering turn 1 again. AWESOME! Pictures won't do it justice. Video won't do it justice. In car cameras won't do it justice. You have to drive. You have to race. You have to experience it for yourself. It is really incredible. I'm so thankful that I get to do this with the full support of my family and friends. 2 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 One thing I left out from the above is how aware you need to be of what's going on in your mirrors - especially when you are in the lower speed class like ours. Most drivers are pretty courteous but some will surprise you, cut across your apex, switch sides just before squirting past, etc. There is no time to rest that's for sure. Now then, the first few laps on Sunday were great as the pack broke up a little and I had some open track to play with. But then, either as I started picking up speed, or as the track warmed up, or as the tires warmed up, the rear end started getting really lively. I mean REALLY lively! I had a big tank slapper between 2 and 3 on one lap, always fighting the tail through 5 and 6 especially, and then coming around 13 I don't know how many times I was sideways. Jeff says "all of them". He might not be exaggerating that much. The car was getting darn near undriveable. On my last lap, I actually looped it in 13 and came to a rest facing uphill between 13 and 14 watching cars pop over the crest and turn straight for my grill!!! It was like Granny all over again. I'm sitting in the front seat of the movie theater about to watch an avalanche punt me down the hill and there's nothing I can do. As soon as I felt a gap, I released the brake, rotated the car to the inside of the track, grabbed first and punched it. Apparently fortunate I didnt' get high centered in the process, I had to get out of there quick! Not just because I didn't want to get hit by the next car cresting the hill, but because this is really the only part of the entire track that is visible to the spectators so I needed to duck into the pits quick and get out of there before anyone else saw me! : ) We checked tire pressures in the pits and they were almost back up to 30psi. (we had lowered them to ~26 the day before) No wind, hotter air temp, hotter track temp, and probably the evening rain/hail shower the night before probably all came into play here. Anyway, we lowered them back to 26 and sent out Sam who reported the car was back to normal and after my 2nd stint I agreed. So much more driveable! Here are some various pics and video from Sunday. We had some guests too both days which was cool. Even a Ratsun guy showed up. Jeff will remember who it was. I think he was already there for someone else but it was still cool he came and said hi. Our pits: I think this is Jeff going through 14 and 15 Video of the same. http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/584816781_04282019swampthing(3).MOV.7904661ecf89c3fdd7517218250bc191.MOV Jeff joining the track after a pitstop http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/122401381_04282019swampthing(2).mp4.6e6445e737c44fd0cb30342258e28525.mp4 Another video at the corkscrew http://datsun510.com/uploads/monthly_2019_05/04282019_swamp_thing_(1).MOV.2eed2373cb5fb252a15030544ef6f365.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I got to take the final stint on Sunday and I have to say it is a special feeling crossing the line with everyone lining the wall along the pits, checkered flag waving followed by slow in-lap with all the flag station guys waving and drivers doing the same to say thanks for their work. We did it! 14 hours of racing. Our first successful weekend. Very exciting! Not much time to enjoy it though as we need to pack up and head home. Well done little racecar! Don't worry about all those mean BMW's passing you, we'll get 'em next time. 3 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 The drive back home Sunday night was SO SLOW! What is it with the traffic between Hawk's Prairie and JBLM?! Tacoma dome I understand but the slog through Nisqually Delta just makes no sense. So what did I do after getting home and unpacking? Watched the F1 qualifying and racing which I missed over the weekend. Just couldn't get enough I guess. : ) Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 No problem though, the weather around here is absolutely beautiful right now! So a little driveway tranny drop is A-OK. We were pretty excited to find out what surprises awaited us inside, especially after seeing the color of the "oil" we drained out of it before separating it from the motor. We now have a limited supply of Jaybo Racing Aluminized (patent pending) tranny lube! Do not adjust your TV sets. That is the real color! A silver slurry of wonder! First glimpse inside. Not good. Lots of fragments and even a few synchro teeth for good measure. Turns out we did not loose the shift fork roll pin. We lost half the fork! Don't ask my how that thing broke off, and a postmortem analysis will be a little difficult since half of the missing fork was ground into a fine dust by the spinning gears. Oh my! Anyone have a broken SR20 rwd 5spd tranny we can steel a 5th/reverse selector fork out of? Or a complete tranny for that matter? We are currently weighing our options... 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 More pics showing the broken SR tranny - you can clearly see where the missing selector fork used to engage. Jeff had a seized KA tranny we thought we might be able to salvage parts from but it is considerably different: Is that a reverse lock-out? 1 Quote Link to comment
