What is your track day setup
 
I am new to the 370z but definately plan on tracking it. I've done plenty of track days on a bike (and some racing in the CMRA) but none ever in a car. The track day best practices thread is awesome but was hoping to get a little deeper. What are you track day upgrades, settings, setup.

Year/Model/Transmission
Wheel Brand/Size/Offset:
Tires/Size:
Pressure:
Brakes/Pads:
Sway bars/settings:
Camber arms:
What Camber/Caster/Toe are you running:
Oil Cooler Brand/Size:
Fluids:
Coilovers/Springs:
Rebound/Compression: (maybe too in depth?)
Other suspension upgrades:
Seats/Harness:
Weight reduction:
Exhaust:
Power upgrades:
Fuel system:
Wing:

Any other setup options?

What are your next upgrades/Changes:

Also what is your experience level? Your driver qualifications?

My apologies if something like this is already out there.

Driver :tup:

But seriously there are very few things that you should change because you should learn the car first.
Upgrades
1. Safety
Brake Fluid
Brake Pads
Helmet of your own for a good fit.
2. Reliability
Oil Cooler 25-Row or more.
Maybe the CJM RoadRace Fuel setup depending on track and fuel starve situation. If you can keep the tank topped off between sessions or don't have too many high speed long right hand turns this may not be important.


After a few days you will see where you stand and upgrade/mod from there.
There is a sticky for track day best practices too that is very good.

httorihanzo 09-29-2016 02:46 PM

I meant for this to be less about the newbie track day (myself:icon14:) and more about people comparing their track day setups. Not personally for my own use right off the bat but because I dont see anybody discussing this.

i.e in the paddock during my lone star track days all of us with penske triple rear shocks would discuss our rebound and compression settings for that track, that day.

Let people show off how they've already gotten the most out of their Z

The track day best practices sticky is great for the track day beginner, not what I was going after.

10+ track days in both a stock '09 Z and '12 loaded Z

My apologies if something like this is already out there.

(FLAME SUIT ON lol) If you have a '12 or newer you may not need an oil cooler as many people are making it sound as long as it is not FI obviously. I have done a lot of track days when its cooler out, ambient temp 70-80 degrees and my oil has never exceeded 240-ish. It may in the summer when ambient temps are over 100. '12+ have an "oil cooler" which doesn't do too much but I think its softens the edge a little bit. Until you start to learn the Z and drive the living sh!t out of it on the track you may be good without one for your first few days. The tracks I go to (autoclub, button willow, chuckwalla) I haven't really needed it and have been putting up some competitive times, usually mid pack out of all drivers that weekend. Anything earlier than '12 you may get away with 1 or 2 track days before hitting limp mode and discovering your Z (and your) comfort zones.

httorihanzo 09-29-2016 06:03 PM

Right on bshields!

So I paid particularly close attention to my oil temp today on the way home. 2016 Nismo Tech complexity stock with 400 miles. 240 degrees on the way home highway. 75 degrees outside temp.

Interestingly enough once I got out of the 45-50 mph traffics and cruised at 80 my oil temp came down.

Yessir, trying to get some 11's for next year to get them stretched out a little better. Really like being able to rotate tires with 500+whp, makes tires last a lot longer.

Who runs a wing? Not needed for autocross? Anybody think their lap times would improve with one?

03threefiftyz 10-11-2016 06:00 PM

The little splitter and blade do help on the SP cars in autox. You have to set the cars so knife edged that it helps to calm them down a bit in transition.

Yes, I run a big wing on the car now in TT...winter project is to go over to a carbon/lexan hatch and chassis mount it. The wing has pretty much destroyed the hatch at this point.

So I paid particularly close attention to my oil temp today on the way home. 2016 Nismo Tech complexity stock with 400 miles. 240 degrees on the way home highway. 75 degrees outside temp.

Interestingly enough once I got out of the 45-50 mph traffics and cruised at 80 my oil temp came down.

I suggest having an oil cooler as OEM is nothing compared to bigger ones. After 34 row oil, when the temp outside is 95 F, the oil temps will not exceeds 200 F. Took the car to track twice after the oil cooler and I didn't see it goes over 220 F, while outside temp is between 85-100 F

That 19R came from previous owner I assume. I think you can easily use a 34R in Dubai lol. :driving:

True, it is from the previous owner, however, while trying it on the track and keep in mind (without cool-down lap) I never have an issue at all with oil temp.

It might be, because mine is not thermostatic.

LMAO! All our cars and car setup have changed drastically since this thread was created. Just look at the tire choices and air pressures. So much has changed!

Believe me, I am .. you would be crazy if you see me on the track, 20 minutes without cool-down lap. and no issues at all.
Maybe because I just track on winter time, and I always use Motul 5w40.

Hope it helps.
Thanks and regards,
