Eddie_r32 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ignore my face, it's flipping scary being in your car with him. https://youtu.be/1wAJxixmeZs?si=O1aB5gy5QDuZEeXi 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You imagine Misha takes it for a little spin and build up to race pace but no, he gets in car turns off traction and floors it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 You're braver then me, there's no way I'd let someone drive mine like that. Genuine question though, who is this guy? It's like he's sprung up from nowhere and everyone's letting him take their cars out. Shows that in the right hands 370z can certainly keep up with the competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_r32 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 He used to race scooters and maybe other child like things, got a job at ring garage and has just done 1000s and 1000s of laps, Auto Alex set this up for me, I'm not sure I'd of volunteered it, but if he crashes he pays. First few corners, as you can tell, I was wondering what I'd done but glad I did it as I can see what my car is actually capable of now!

Speaking of letting others drive. It was good to let my younger brother drive the Nismo and funny. Never got to drive his Supra 2JZ though. Its good to experience your car as a passenger. Eddie you around next weekend, im just down the road. Can come look at your Z if you dont mind? Edited February 24 by GranTurismoEra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umster Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thanks for sharing this, I've watched it twice. Gutted there was no floor or rear view cameras. I'd love to do something like this and glad to see another Z owner on the forum has. What an experience, he's done so many laps around the ring and driven so many cars, that whatever advice and praise he gives is on a more comprehensive scale than anyone on the internet. I'm assuming with the rear axle complaints, the suspension and Z1 inserts have helped but I don't recall any comments on your differential bushings? If you haven't done them then I know for my next Z I'll prioritise the differential bushings over the Z1 inserts or motor mounts. Again thanks for sharing, happy to see you enjoy a lap around the ring in your very nice Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Brilliant stuff, enjoyed that. Sort the shifter out and few more clicks on the rear coilovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do the diff bushes first they are relatively easy, the z1 inserts were done by Horsham and Craig said they were an absolute pita to do had to pretty much put the entire cars weight on them to get them to slide in. oh and do the trans mount! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaahhh my mate just told me I'm wrong, you do mention the diff bushings at the start. I've watched it a third time now 🤣 what a freaking lap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadmaster Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Brave man, I'm very impressed that you went through with it. We popped into Apex last year, as we do during most visits to Nurburg. Misha and the crew are always good to chat to and very welcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Been following Misha for a while now and love his vids. Helps that he actually seems like a nice bloke. Great vid and bigger balls than me letting someone else drive the 370 let alone around the ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
