Would be very cool to know, at least as a reference. Would also love to know the changes in toe.

One can only dream. Watching Forza replay with live camber values overlay is fun, but not sure how realistic it is lol.

Unfortunately no, I haven’t aligned the car yet after installing my
SPL FUCA’s. So alignment is all outta whack. I do need to buy some mobile alignment tools to measure this kinda stuff.

Just moving the tire up and down, and eyeballing it.

Make sure you change your coolant heater hose junctions kids. Mine popped while I was gridding for the first session of the day.

oh nice! is the z1 piece the same thing you bought with just a bleeder port?

i have 8000 miles on the odo(only 2 track days), you think i should change it before my next track day?

You might not now, but it is a part that's known to degrade as you get heat cycles through it. My car has 163,000 miles on it, with maybe 15 track days, and it finally went.

If I ever get my Z back I will run in:

NASA TT2
Nissan Challenge Unlimited

May jump in on some others depending on cost. I would love to go t Super Lap at COTA just to say I have done it and check them both off my bucket list.

I finally did my first track event in my z. I actually did a track day in my Civic maybe 10 years ago before I ever started autocrossing but still prefer autocross for competition. Might do a couple track days during the off season just for fun.

I'm just happy nothing broke but I do need better pads. Currently on hawk hps but will get a set of carbotechs before I go back.

Also, regarding toe changes through the suspension sweep, it really shouldn't. The way the suspension is designed that would be a highly undesirable feature and would lead to bump steer if the car encountered a bump on one side or the other. From doing my own chassis setup for the last few seasons I've found that you can change the height pretty much as much as you like and that will only affect camber. However, once you correct or adjust camber it will throw off toe.

Did my first track day in the Z. Fun and eventful day. I should have done more research before going out there. Had no idea of the fuel starvation issues these cars have. When I noticed the sluggish with 3/4 tank I was in full denial. Oil temps got to about 250-260 on a 70-73deg day. Unfortunately, it was the first time I had to get the towed off track.
