Ya think?
I kinda think it's gone, but maybe worth a try. No harm at this point. Fluid is also pricey. I think it was more than a case to run it all out. I'll try a drain and fill first.

Fresh stuff in. I'll be getting her to do the nismo scream

well it sounds like its a fluid thing if its fine during the colder days. id try switching . got to be cheaper then a new transmission.

Does anyone know how to shut TC off? RWD. I mean completely.
I've seen a thread on pulling a fuse for AWD, but I dont know if the same applies.
I couldnt late brake in any turn. TC cuts in. If I coast in & then gas in & out, it would stay off (which kills the fun of getting in quickly . . & lap times) If it cuts in, it would slip light through the whole turn & not allow me to throttle . .at all! until I hit a straight again. It stayed out of limp mode. thank gd, so wasnt half bad. But I swear, it was like needlework out there . . taking half the day just finding 9 turns of new letting off & braking points without any fvcking lights. Good thing I'm familiar with the track. I still beat my previous best by 4 seconds on 22 all seasons, but there's so much more there. Car was really crippled.
Once I was in any turn, I could totally throttle steer the beast.

Perfect wear. Had to pressure down to 35/36 hot for best results. Great tire, and cheaper than a yoke.

Sorry man, not sure on a solution, but loving seeing the track pics. You did sound the best of the line. Love that growl.

Dave, I love reading your thread on here but The thing is I have no experience with this in an FX and live it and enjoy it through your pics, videos and write ups and I do appreciate them.
Thanks.

I love seeing all the updates. Unfortunately the other guys are right, not many other people have tracking experience in the FX, so we're not gonna be much help in some of the stuff.

For the TCS issue, I believe the main fuse for TCS is under the battery, cause I believe I saw one in there labeled VDC. Unfortunately I don't know the consequences of pulling it, and then trying to run the car.

Something about turning off Yaw sensor. It may need a module

[Viperi]

from a quick glance at the thread, you need to throw in a switch to break that yaw circuit

 

[mishanja]

What device did you use to capture the speed, G's, etc... I believe i saw it in the video with your fx?

I didn't get that, but I heard there is an app called Harry's timer. I need to check for that. I did wear a transponder, but that was timing only. Pretty happy with my 1:48 considering the tc that would cut in. I think I can get 1:45s. That's at least the goal
For next run. It was like a Sunday drive with the new setup. The car composure was night and day with gtr's, coils and sticky rubber. Tons of grip. I wanted to be more on the edge, but with no late braking, I was never gonna get there. For
Speed, I did get to drive a 911 gt3 and a ferarri 430. Was nuts

Most fun ever.
So many drivers came up to me at this event with questions, comments & thumbs up. Even the Porsches were patient with me in the areas that I could run quick. Full respect. I was amazed myself how much more competitive the car is & how it can now keep up with the field. I made my share of Newb passes too.

Might be fun try the R/T
