Coming home from work the other morning. Playing around with camera settings. 1080p, 48 fps, Mid. Polarized filter. Camera at ear level. Think it has to be down some to clear the mirror. What do you all think?

Nice vid, camera down just a hair or two.

N0SL3N · 05-08-2013, 08:40 AM

Down, forward and slightly to the right should give a perfect view through the windshield.

Yessir

KaienZ34 · 05-09-2013, 09:05 PM

Looking good....

Rusty · 05-09-2013, 09:15 PM

Looks good.

What did they use for the hose rducer?

dmhenderson · 05-09-2013, 09:16 PM

I used those dust thingies you recommended.

Rusty · 05-09-2013, 09:18 PM

Worked out ok then. I notice that your ducts sit farther to the outside then mine.

dmhenderson · 05-09-2013, 09:19 PM

They actually don't. Look at the first picture. You just can't see the "lip" around the ducts very well because they're painted.

Rusty · 05-09-2013, 09:21 PM

Might be about an inch differance between the two.

Rusty · 05-09-2013, 09:24 PM

Oh, I got a trackday this coming Tuesday at Pittsbugh International.

So I'll find out how well my set-up is.

Rusty · 05-14-2013, 09:29 PM

Did my first trackday of the year at PittRace. Had a great time.

The Nismo work well. Oil temps never got over 200F. because it was a cold day. 40F in the morning, warming up to 55F when we was done. Brakes worked good with the duct work. Using YellowStuff pads. No brake dust on the rims. Thinking the air through the ducts was blowing it off. I had trouble finding the limits of the Mich PSS's. I got alot to learn. The car is better then me.

Had a '09 Viper ACR crashed 2 turns in front of me in session 1.

It was the owners first time on the track. 600hp car with Mich Sport Cups and cold temps, and driving over his head caught him out. Now I have to wash the anti-freeze off of the Nismo from him. Felled really bad for the guy. First timer with a car that had a 1000 miles on it. His dream turned into a nightmare. Wanted to take a picture of it but out of respect, I didn't.

Have another trackday next month.

Trying to down my videos to youtube now. Think that will take a fews days to do.

Forgot to add. "phunk's" fuel starvation kit worked great. Diid 3 sessions on one tank of gas. Never once hinted at fuel starvation. Was down to 1 light on the fuel gauge when I was done for the day. Took 17 gallons to refill it. Thanks "phunk".

Welcome to the forum.

An extra quart of oil. The Z likes to heat the oil up when you track them. With the spacer and 34 row Z1 oil cooler. My Z takes 7 quarts of oil now. Read through some of the posts on here. You will see oil temps on the Z are high. When the temps get to 280F. The car goes into limp mode. The engine won't rev over 3500 rpms (I believe), until the oil cools off.
