  1. I've got a conclusion about my change of driving, with the newly found power I go slower into corner and progressively, slowly apply power... before I worked the Z WAY more and had to work it far harder then now. It's nice Points taken aboard. So my Q is left unanswered. That book will be read, thanks Zmanalex. Can't wait for some tracking, 16th here we come!
  2. mine aint singing, it's wooshing splushing and pssssssssting (and moving fast...)
  3. get rid of that nismo sticker please.
  4. Pushing the brake pedal would be better In terms of brake wear and keeping temps under control, you will always be better burying the pedal into the floor than you will being softer with it. However, every corner and every condition will dictate a different braking technique, so as has been said there really is no correct answer. I tend to brake earlier and softer with a view to unsettling the car as little as possible which works for me, but even I'm aware that's not technically the right thing to do. Yeah I find I'm doing that too, also not trusting the brakes makes me want to have a lower exit speed of track if that happens Hoping next outing will change that somewhat, can't wait to get a proper setup, brakes and tyres 100% and let it rip! Thanks for the input guys, Zugara.. go back to the alco
  5. Buy better discs and pads that's obviously an option, you forgot tyres, suspension setup. (and a redbull) STILL the Q is valid with all those things
  6. nice bit of reading When hitting the apex don't be worried about cutting the corner slightly. During a corner, the weight is transferred to the outside wheels, and thus these are doing most of the gripping. Putting the inside wheels slightly into the gravel shouldn't be too much of an issue.
  7. probably flywheel rattling, which one is it? hp figures sounds high FI is the only route worth going for 350+
  8. What's the best braking technique on track? Meaning brake for longer with progressively hardening braking force or brake later and really hard? Just wondering if it would be any difference in the heat build-up? And other braking techniques would be greatly appreciated
  9. if they've checked that, not really... try and re-bed them.
  10. Nobel seem to think they can be refaced. But i dont want the problem coming back. If they've not been refaced how would the problem have gone away? if there was a runout would that not still be there even though the hub has been replaced? (in the disc)
  11. So have these not been sent off to dba yet? This has been far to long going
  12. Weird, did you not get told that disc where fubared? I'm confused.
  13. would be interesting to see that haltech map
  14. like the look of that, does it go very low? (so I can get it under my car) the jack I use now isn't raising the car enough so need to use blocks and the raising in stages which is a pain in the...
  15. http://my350z.com/forum/shop-builds/541 ... beast.html thats the number to beat!
