Oz Striker Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Also If you've not spun it, you're not pushing hard enough. I'll bear that in mind next time A few more points/observations i forgot to mention: All 4 tyres went from 35 psi, up to 40, so i dropped the pressure, but strangely the following day all 5 were more or less 33-35psi????? some sort of thermal/chemical changes had taken place in the rubber? And I worked out I did 150 miles on track at Bedford, which works out to something like 36 laps. Also I had downloaded an App called racechrono which alot of ppl rave about, a gps based lap timer, but it would load up but wasnt recording my times. will mess about with it more next time.

Slosh Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Instead of trying to record all this data and thinking about lots of different stuff, why don't you just get some good hours behind you and really learn to control the car? Then you might have some consistant data to review. Solve the brake issue then get back out there for a few days. Just me.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what youre saying, but tyre pressures is something most people check during a track day anyway so i was just sharing my findings, and regards to the brake temps, I just find it interesting to see how hot the brakes will get at different tracks and as my experience increases. BUT yes the "brake issue"...... thats taken an interesting turn as i took them out to stick the old original brembos back in just to get me around, calipers went back in nicely, but the pads that came out, foooooook!: Can read what happened and more pics here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/73788-help-needed-brembo-inner-pads-wearing-faster-than-outer-pads/page__gopid__1100188#entry1100188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes are a weird one, unfortunately I can't offer any advice coz I'm not that familiar with the z brembo set up Edited July 22, 2013 by Slosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me most of the morning just to learn the bedford, so no point in trying to set up cameras for just a half day, which is what I'm planning on doing next as I'm still not quite sure either whats going on with the brakes.

rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 http://www.catdrivertraining.co.uk/ Thanks I'll check them out in more detail, I had found there website after doing bedford, they have quite an extensive collection of courses, but as with a lot of these websites its difficult to know which are any good, without recommendations. Sounds like youve done some sessions? try this one http://www.catdrivertraining.co.uk/driver-training-courses/one-to-one-driving-courses/racing-driver-training.html you can pick the level. I'm sure if you ring them they do courses with small groups at a lot less cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
