Where does the time go?????
Its been over three months and no updates.
I have put over 3,000 miles on Betzy since the last update. We have been all over the place and having a blast. My next big event is going to be NICOFEST at the dragon and I want to try and see if I can get some things done before we leave. Got the oil changed
and tried changing the oil in the rear end to make it a bit quieter. I was using the redline high shock gear lube. I changed to Amsoil 85W-90 with Jegs CLSD additive. Wow, what a huge difference as far as the CLSD chatter. Still getting the pinion buzz though. I decided to pull the R200 out for a closer look just to make sure.
Got my new Datsun flag up in the garage
Picked her up at Mid Ohio IRL race last weekend
Out comes the R200. Pretty easy stuff.
Up on the bench for a closer look
I took the whole thing apart and could not find one thing wrong with it?????
All the bearings look practically new. Well...At least I know its not going to come apart on me on the long trip ahead. Maybe a new preload on the pinion shaft when I hook up the companion flange will fix it.
Going back together now. Going to replace the brake pads, transmission fluid, go get the wheels rebalanced...Won't be long.
