Updated the sh*t out of the thread.

:tup:

siiiick!!

Still running those winmax pads?

Yup sure am, just about finished my front pads though. Time to replace em, considering how many track days I've put on em, they've lasted me longer than I expected.


They were installed last September and have gotten about 10 track days out of em.

I can’t wait to get back on the track with them. I got one track on my winmax’s before the car was shipped off

You are such a bad ***...way to represent the Z community.:tiphat::driving:

Thanks man! Trying to prove to people that this platform can compete with cars way out of its league with the right driver. :happydance:

I think we have the same goal. I've heard too many people say the 370z is too heavy and not competitive enough in class 2 and class 1 of Nissan Challenge or even at GridLife or GTA.

Heard too many times that the Z33 is the better car and I think the few of us out there running the Z34 are proving those nay sayers wrong.

Had to make a lil change to the platform.

Just basic bolt ons. My Z makes less than 330whp. Just wait until I slap a supercharger on it ;)

Nice, What are your temps after a lot of laps?

I am scheduled for 10/18-19 with NASANE at Thunderbolt, maybe I'll see you there.

I have my oil temps totally under control using setrab 25row oil cooler mounted inside left side fender. I have a spal fan and direct air duct from underneath. I don’t think it went past 230-240F. The coolant temp is been giving me trouble. After 2 hot laps my temps would go up to 230F so had to back off. I’ve opened up my front nismo bumper and built air dam in front my intercooler to direct all incoming air towards intercooler/radiator. After this last track day I noticed huge improvement with it. 20min session needed one slower pace lap towards end of the session to cool down the temps and then finishing off with one or 2 hot laps. With this cooling mod and stoptech bbk, 80F ambient temp, this one was one of my most enjoyable track day i think I ever had. I have 2 day event with TrackXperienZ following week so possibly I’ll sign up for one day with nasa.
Here’s the picture of my air dam.

Thanks! I have an air dam ready to go for the oil cooler, mounted in front of the radiator, but I think I will have to relocate it to get my oil temps under control and eventually build an air damn for the radiator too. Glad you had a good time, I went with TrackXperienZ once last year, it was nice but for me I didn't like the people attending so much, $100k+ cars in advanced group with no clue how to drive in the rain.

Thank you for the inputs. Really appreciate. It was my first time out with the re71r on this track but I did feel I could take more speed through some turns. Turn 12 especially. Just need to grow bigger pair and trust the car and tires little more. Braking as well first time out with stoptech bbk and also felt I could brake later. The only reason I need to lift on the hill is because I’m on top of the 4th gear and rear tires brake loose when the rear unloads. It scared the crap out of me during morning session. I think more downforce would fix that. Octopus is tricky, felt the most grip was by the curbs that particular day. Other drivers felt the same. I think it’s possible to get to 1:30s

Turn 12 is the only turn that scares me still. Its very fast, semi blind, and has an inside wall right there. It should be fine but I'm not racing and I'd be much happier keeping my car in one piece then 0.5s better lap time. More downforce and slicks I would be comfortable enough that I won't spin and get into the inside wall but not with stock aero and street rubber.

Not sure why people think 230 F is excessive coolant temp for a VQ on the track. It's normal.

What would you say it is the safe coolant temp? I could never find any good info.

Agreed! The same with oil temps at 245 or 250. My car ran fine at those temps.

Bardabe Performance Tuning and Specialty Z both agree that those numbers are safe for a track car. I've also been hearing from Z32 and 350Z owners that those temps under high load are completely normal.

For the stock radiator, you'll know your overheating when the temp gauge goes one dot past the middle. Once that happens, the temps will continue to climb unless you shut it down.

Sort of a bump but wanted to mention that Pacific Raceways is the track on which the dog (Enzo) riding with Denny scene was shot in the recent movie The art of Racing in the Rain; which was an excellent movie by the way.
