Here's a video of last Sunday's SCCA rallycross that one of the guys posted on youtube. I'm in the 300zx @ 1:12 and 1:33.

Thanks for that Aero. Looks like your Nissan was quick. It appeared to handle the corners and accelerated as quick or quicker than the 4WD cars. That looks like so much fun. Is the dust a huge problem?

The dust isn't too bad, it settled rather quickly. The 4wd cars are several seconds quicker over coarse, but the Nissan is one of the fastest rear wheel drive cars. The 300zx is a mess. I bought it for $500 and my friends and I drive it like we just robbed a bank. I've only run two rallycross events, but the 300zx has earned first and second place finishes in the stock rear division so far. It's way more fun than $500 should ever be able to provide.

You know it's not too shabby!! Gutless but very tossable, you should see the track conditions I will try and find the onboard!

With 40+ cars running that day, it got a little torn up. My 97 Outback was smacking the skidplate in the ruts, I can't imagine what your Tercel was doing.

Thats a cool video! I dig that coarse, nice and long.

I've been considering making some sort of skidplate for the 300zx. The oil pan hangs a bit low.

What are the details on that Tercel? It seems to get around pretty good.

Only modification from factory was the driver!

But actually I have whiteline front 22mm and 20mm adjustable swaybars, larger brakes from a Paseo (40mm larger discs if i remember..) and my 155/80/13 winter tires. Car is very very tired! Surprised it still runs.
