it's the G-forces that you experience on a track, both in acceleration/deceleration and in turns, that are unlikely to be replicated on the street/canyon.
Also, depending on the track . . . elevation changes. you should check out sears point/infineon/sonoma raceway, whatever its called now. Multiple, blind turns at the beginning of the track as you climb uphill. First time was mindblowing, trusting the instructor that you can in fact hit the apex when you can't see whats coming up next

Would love for us to expand eastward and start running Nissan challenge at all the big tracks. Phoenix Intl Raceway, Circuit of the Americas, Lime Rock, Road America, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, VIR and of course Sebring. Maybe some day

Sway bars should not take you longer than 2 hours if you're decently able to work on cars. The fronts are exposed by simply removing the front plastic aero pan, and the rears you need to remove the rearmost portion of the exhaust (possibly also mid pipe - I can't remember). It sucks to do without a lift, but it's entirely possible. I did mine in about that time a few years ago.

I put a g37x rear sway on. Testing coming next week to see if I like it at the track.

I drive a 350z, but I think that I'm kind of experiencing the same thing. I've tried disconnecting the rear sway bar and didn't really care for it. Trying to think of a way to give the OEM bar less stiffness.

New track junkie here. I've read the brief notes on checks/inspections post track-day on the Track Day Best Practices thread. But I'm just curious what other kinds of checks/maintenance you guys like to do post track-day to make sure everything is still in working order. Mods include oil cooler, SS brake lines, XP10/8, coilovers/arms.
Thanks! |
