First AutoX in Z
 
Hi guys, this weekend will be my first time Autocrossing the Z. I've done a few HPDEs in the Z and a number of autocrosses years ago in my S14. Any tips? Tire pressures? TCS off ;)

Car is stock other than 18x10 forgestars with Kumho XS all around, PFC 08 pads and rotors, nismo sway bars and cobra seat. Forecast says it may rain, already assumed the STIs in ASP would dominate me :p

I found that the tire pressures I settled on (stock tires...RE050) were at 35 front/30 rear. You will really want a nice stiff front sway bar after one autocross!!

You never know! I have been slowly catching some of the ASP cars that would dominate me a few events ago. Beating out a modified ASP Evo 9. Traction control off for sure, and if it rains, just VERY easy with all your inputs (throttle/brake)

Thunderstorms scheduled now :tup: The only other time I've had this car on track (2 day HPDE) was also thunderstorming. Sometime I want to do something in the dry.

I really prefer dry track-days too, but... the wet really teaches you to drive. Getting stuck with several wet weekends in a row and then going back to a dry one, you pick up a lot of car control skills that work out on the dry days.
