Absolutely, just let me know. And for anyone that might show up last minute or forget to post, look for me in a green 200SX SE-R with yellow wheels or and orange FX45. And if anyone lives nearby to any of the tracks and just wants to come check it out and possibly get a ride, shoot me a PM or just show up and look for me.

So what are the areas that need work? The 370Z, for example, needs an oil cooler or it will over-heat and go into limp-home mode. And all the cars at the press introduction also had diff coolers. Apparently Nissan will offer this over the summer as a Nismo part that the dealer can install.

kieranlavin

You're talking in terms of the G, right? Same oil cooler is needed. I think both the auto and manual could benefit from a tranny cooler. The auto it wasn't clear if it was just the engine reducing revs to prevent overheating, if the ECU was changing shift points to prevent overheating of the tranny, or a combination of the two? The manual definitely got a goofy clutch pedal after really being pushed. And it seems like brakes are an issue when REALLY pushed so it'd benefit from track pads and ss lines at the very least. Other than that, I think the car is fairly stout. For the average intermediate driver the car in stock form is pretty decent. I'm talking about advanced or better drivers really pushing the car to get all of the above.

Thanks, yes, that's exactly what I;m talking about. I'm helping a friend prepare his G37 coupe, and he is a very advanced driver.

Ended the day with a weaksauce 1:35. 100+ degree track temp, 90+ ambient, stock alignment, stock tires; rear was less than 1.5/32".

I feel I could have improved another 2 seconds with the current setup, and having the rear loose, as I was dropping time off my laps all day.

what track? did you overheat?

kieranlavin

Exactly... what track? 1:35 at Limerock is horrible. 1:35 at Watkins Glen is impossible
