Track Day under the Sun!!!

370zDR

Went to my first track experience with the Z past Sunday, was great. It was at Autodromo Mobil1, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. This is my local track, I'd been there a couple of times before with other cars. There were some Drifters practicing, so we had to split in 30 min sessions between drifters and track cars.



Car felt great most of the session, except i was getting fuel starvation on this long double right hander on 3/4 tank. Next time will have to bring a fuel can with me to fill up when needed. Brakes never faded, tough i Was doing a couple of hot laps and then letting everything cool down. Wasn't being too aggressive cornering, but pushing the car in the straights. Temp was around 90-95F, usual temp down here. Oil temperatures were around 240 most of the time, but peaked to 250 when I started pushing it, this track is next to the sea, so you can imagine the humidity there.



Setup: Stillen G3's, NST pulley kit, z1performance 25R Oil Cooler, Motul RBF 600 fluid, Tein S-tech Springs, 20mm Spacers all around, stocks brake pads; Tires (F)Yokohama YK580 (R)Nitto NT555 (stock sizes) these came with the car when bought. Played a bit with my rear tires pressure, but didnt see much difference, 30 to 35psi



For Next Track day, have ART pipes sitting in the garage waiting for my F.I exhaust to be bolted and then Uprev tuned, probably change my front pads to project mu B specs. After this I might get whiteline Sway Bars and call it a day. All in all was really great fun, plan on sharing my future trips to the track with you guys.
