Narita Dogfight | Machine Check: Under Suzuki’s Scorch Racing Carbon Nissan Silvia S15.

Under has finally returned to Tsukuba! After visiting Scorch Racing last year to see the S15 in it’s final stages of build, I was looking forward to getting to see it on track this season. With that being said, we still haven’t seen it actually on track... We’ve seen the carbon Silvia out at TC2000 twice now, but unfortunately both times Under has ran into engine trouble. The first outing a faulty fuel pump cut the day short, and this most recent event the engine may have thrown a piston. The engine in the car is the same one previously used at Sydney some years ago, however it was pulled apart and the crankshaft was replaced. Pistons and con rods were all reused, and may be the culprit. Under is in good spirits, however, and understands all too well the need to learn from the setbacks. The car is back at Scorch and no doubt we’ll see him back out soon.
