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.

Up-date article on the new Shell helmet standards. :tup:

Reminds me when I have a messed up alignment at the back, with around -3 camber and nearly 0.4 toe in at the back. It wasn't kind even to smooth inputs :eek: |

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! |

I drive my car to and from the track.. if it still goes and stops after track day, I'm good to go. Then the cycle starts over again before the next track day. :)
|
Just give the car a once over, if everything looks and sounds normal then it should be fine. If I am feeling extra anal I would check hoses and under body for lose fittings and bolts, especially in the suspension area.
|
I generally just look for immediate leaks and if none she goes on the trailer and back in the garage she goes. I give it a few days and then I look for leaks since everything has settled. If nothing then we move pre-track day check list.

Well... it sure didn't take long to come across my first finding. I guess you could say that was a successful post track day inspection.

If it's your only car or a car you use regularly, mostly just consumables checks like the others suggest. |
soooooooooo - went to @madwi's house this past weekend, installed my coolerworx shifter & poly trans mounts. Car feels amazing! EXCEPT....my idling oil pressure dropped to about 5psi. :shakes head: (obviously not because of the shifter install, but just only noticed it drop that day).
Needless to say, I ordered the EPS gallery gasket kit, timing chain tensioner, & timing cover gasket set. Looks like I'll be tackling the gallery gaskets next weekend along with solid engine mounts & a baffled oil pan. WISH ME LUCK :roflpuke2: |

Today I installed the bellworks rear diff brace & removed my rear swaybar. Been running stock rear sway for the past 2 years, let's see what all the hype's about with no swaybar.
EDIT: Also installed SPL FUCAs. Finally, some more negative camber. Going to shoot for -3 to -3.5 up front. |
Hey Guys. I am still new with my Z. I've had a total of 4 track days this year and with the Z.
I am finally getting FUCA and rear camber arms, as well as Toe lockout kit. After going with Swifts, my alignment has been Bonkers! FYI, I am not a fan of Swift... Im sure I am the only Z owner that has said this... lol |

I hear mixed reviews of keeping the sways or removing it. |

On a lighter note, I'm looking to potentially pick up some new Fortune Auto coilovers for next years season. Anyone have recommendations for spring rates? This would be for a track-only car...don't care about daily drivability. |

Also, are you planning on true or OEM rear coils? If so what's your reasoning? |

They do have a sale for Black Friday :happydance: |
So a side question: is it even worth it to get a full set of sway bars? Since many tend to go softer in the rear.

Get a good alignment and let your instructor or someone with lots of experience drive your car and get some feedback from them. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Also - I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with Fortune auto, powertrix, or reinharte on the track? |
I went with the FAs after a lot of research.
|
I run FAs true type.

Also purchased a detailed motorsport course to dial in the suspension properly. Being a car enthusiast with some mechanical knowledge, I haven't really found a detailed way of learning motorsport best practices including how to properly setup your car...only thing I've done in the past is ask friends or check forums, which is usually subjective. |
about 7k miles and 1 track day with my brake pads (stock akebonos) am i good for another track day?

Check your pads after each event, its literally the one thing you can't have wear out! As soon as my pads get to 6mm or less its time for new ones.
