After getting some AMS lower downpipes and Mishimoto intercoolers put on, I decided it was time to fulfill another childhood dream and see my car on a Dyno. No tune yet but that's definitely on the agenda.

I got #162, please enjoy this video i made for all my friends who don't have a Nissan Z

Not sure why that got posted twice, feel free to delete because i dont think it lets me

Amazing track. All three of my instructors have had nothing but incredibly positive things to say about the Z Nismo. (except when i mention the weight) I let the instructor drive it today around AMP and I'm a bit fuzzy on the specific comments but he was genuinely impressed with it. Spent a lot...

Yeah i was looking at the nismo control arms and also the coilovers. I was quoted 1600 from the dealership for the coilover install which seems a little high from what others have told me.

Haven't done anything myself yet with suspension but I've been looking at some control arms to add a bit of camber next time. Also been eyeing some of those KW coilovers...

Some photos from the event!

Another clip chasing down an M2 and getting to work on some mid corner passes

I should probably get in the habit of recording some data at the end of each session but I was watching over them to make sure nothing was getting close to the red and i know my instructor was checking over from the passenger seat as well.

By the end of the weekend I would say I was hitting 135-140 pretty consistently at the end of the straights into turn 13 and into t1 with highest being 145. Going into the S section we were capping it at 120 just to try and focus on getting the line down really well before trying to go faster...

Hey y'all just got back from a weekend at VIR and i'm happy to report the carbotech xp-10 pads were great and held up all weekend. They are pricey, but I think they are worth the cost if you're going for a longer HPDE event. This weekend it was roughly 3 hours of track time per day with some...

Here's a pic of the 265/35, 295/30. Seems to be working out well so far!

Never got a chance to try the Dunlops on track honestly. The ps4s were fine but I could tell that I could chew them up quickly over 2 days and that was a big motivator for me getting my apex wheels for a dedicated track set. As for the ECF tires I went with 265/35 up front and 295/30 in back...

I'll be testing them out this weekend at VIR! I got the xp-10 compound at their recommendation. Glad my debacle at VIR back in November turned into something positive with getting these carbotech options😁

I ran PS4S my first time around, this time i'm going on Continental Extreme Contact Force tires

Yeah... I'm not 100% sure i'm going to use them. Carbotech recommends having them resurfaced at the minimum but I figured on the off chance something is wrong and they find a crack in one of my rotors I need to have a backup ready because chances are i'd have to order at least the front ones

Off to VIR again next weekend, this time a bit more prepared

I sent my pads into them back in december so I could get some proper pads for my next track day. I wasn't sure if they were going to offer it up for sale to everyone, but it looks like they came through!

I bought some aftermarket ones from here. They have been a little wonky and seems like they only want to work 75% of the time and other times they just randomly don't show up and I get a TPMS light on the dash. Not a huge deal since I check them before most drives with this anyways but I didn't...
