chendaxian888

my brake melted
should i spray some water between sections?
my oil temp get to 270 if I push it , i thinl its too high, what should I do?
I am runing 10w40 with z1 oil pan and fi 34 raw oil cooler
now I am changing my brake pad, rotor and oil to endless

No need to change your rotors. Ensure fluid is rated from 590F or higher.
You should definitely only use a race pad that can sustain performance in the 1000-1300F heat range.
F.I. uses -8AN lines and fittings. -10AN might show slight improvement, but running those temps is common even with a 34 row.

Which track did you have your first track day at?

I don't know what you mean by spray water between sections, but I'm going to guess No.

You need brake cooling...via air flow, NOT splashing cold water...

https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...t-p-21496.html

Get yourself an infrared temp gun and log the rotor temps before and after the brake cooling ducts, you should see a difference.

Rotor is not your problem (unless they are cracking or warping).

EBC yellow shouldn't be a that big of a problem...it's certainly not a full track pad, but they should do the job if you know how to manage it. I imagine you were going balls-to-the-wall Max Verstappen qualifying lap type of driving. Rusty had tracked with them and didn't have any issue.

I think it'll be a great benefit for you to develop more feel and mechanical sympathy for your car.

For context: car in question has TP + Exhaust + tuned. Manual, 3.9 FD and 265/285 tire combo. KW V3 and SPL arms. EBC yellow and SS line. etc...

Learn how to drive. Sometimes you have to go slow to go faster.

Rusty has a point about going slow to go fast, it is really a learning event.
question from me, is what type of prep did you do for it..
did you review YouTube, to get an idea of the line...

I reviewed YouTube to get an idea of what Nelson Ledges Road Coarse was about... it did help....

what type of event was this, was it an SCCA Track Night?
Were you on your own?
Do you sim race?

yea, I know lots of questions
