Coming up next to a series near you "Xterraspeed."

It could happen.

Do you have any more interior shots with everything put back together? Dash, seats (Two seater or three?) ect. It would be nice to see how your cage work works with the dash ect. since you had to keep most of the stock interior.

Do you have any idea what your weight is loaded with fuel ect?

These guys have raced a car in BITD and been part of a class winning team in the Nevada 1000 so this isn't their first rodeo.

That big silver thing in the second picture is a 32gallon fuel cell. There are also various pits that the team will set up along the route for tire changes, fuel stops and other mechanical issues.

Keep in mind that there are race cars moving at race speeds. No one is getting great mileage. Some of the bigger open classes run 40+ gallon cells and are getting 5-7 miles to a gallon if they are lucky. That's why fuel costs are one of a racer's biggest expenses.

Cool! I'll look for you at the races. It should be legal for SCORE so if you want to check out the 1000 next year for the 40th running. We will be there and several other Nissan lovers so we could lend a hand.

Give Rod and Scott hell!

Hi everyone, Sorry I have not replied on a lot of your questions. I am trying to get the X ready for the EXPO this weekend. Between work and that I have little free time. Your questions will get answers. Doug and I took some 80+ pitures last night of some detail items. We will go through them and post some of the good ones. Thank you all for your replies and questions. Keep watching this thread, I will reply.

Hey guys, I have bad news. I will not make the EXPO this weekend, it started today. I have the X tore down for a new clutch and only got some of the parts I ordered in. If you loose a clutch in a 05 expect to be down a week. Nobody stocks the parts to do this, not even the dealer.

I have recieved the new clutch disc and pressure plate, but have not seen the new flywheel yet. I went to several machine shops to get the original surfaced, which nobody had the abilities to do this style of flywheel. It is one wierd set up. Shops tell me that Ford powerstrokes have one like it. It has a loose hub assembly that can rotate a few degrees. I've been told it cost some big bucks. I will be ready for the TT250 for sure!!! I noticed it slipping when hard shifting out testing after I shot those photos. It let loose pulling on the trailer. I guess who ever drove it during commercial shoots, etc. drove it hard. It only has 355 miles on it total.

SPALIND, thanks for the heads up you gave High Rev Photography. They do good work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You guys that want to help out in the pits. I need to know ahead of time who I can count on. The Vegas to Reno race is August 24-26. I need to book rooms now and plan my pit assignments. If you want to really do this send a private message to me here. Tell me a little about your mechanical ablities, Nissan experience, etc. so I can place people together for strong well rounded pit teams.
