Hello all,
I had my first experience flogging the Z properly. Went to Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI for a day of open lapping. Mods: - AEM CAI - FI Catback - Z1 Oil Cooler (25 Row) - Carbotech XP8 pads - Superblue Brake & Clutch Fluid Results: ...Well let's cut to the chase then shall we? - Gingerman clockwise w Extension: 1:49.32 - Max Oil temp: 250F - Filled up after each session and had ZERO fuel starvation Bled all four corners after three 20 min sessions. Pedal was still a lil squishy. Next Session, pedal remained squishy... and after 5 laps the pedal went TO THE FLOOR. WHAT THE HELL!! Coming into the pits i had to use the E-brake to stop because the brake pedal did NOTHING. Rant: Now, I have dedicated track pads and fluid, and the fluid STILL boiled?? - I thought of switching over to Motul 600 but that only has a boiling point 60 Deg more. I'm starting to think that the fluid is not the issue but perhas moreso the caliper which is retaining so much heat. Any thoughts on brakes or Gingerman ? ~ Thanks for your time!
