Heads up... NISMO announcing dates for upcoming perf. academy

MC · 08-23-2013, 12:07 AM

codes went out this morning and are gone

you got on the list a few different ways for signing up at some type of NISMO/Nissan event in the past or getting on their mailing Database or best of all being a NAGTROC member as I worked with nissan organizing the GTR attendees for the last 3 events

Can't wait! I was able to get a bunch of my local Z guys to go as well. Unfortunately we're all of different days so we can't play together but needless to say, they all owe me a beer

Now I just have to wait a month

I'm fully expecting to be c-blocked by my Z on the track due to temps. If it happens, I'm ready, if it doesn't, WOOHOO!

MC · 08-23-2013, 09:15 AM

you guys driving your own cars will be fine there are 8 activities (2 classrooms) and you only drive your own car for 1 of them. the last session of the day i hoped in a 2014 Z in austin in 102 heat and lapped for about 25 mins and it was fine. yeah the temps were well over 260 but it didnt pull power. Those nissan owned Z's get beat on though as they are constantly hot lapped the whole day. besides its not a full out track day its lead follow and there the pace is measured

MC, would there be any chance that the launch control could be tested on the GTR?

maybe.. there should be a module where you perform like a 0-60-0 ABS braking test then a slalom In either a Z or a GTR They mention not to use launch control ( reason being is after 4 times it locks it out for a 1.5 mile cool down) but I mean you could probably sneak one in its not like they are "strict" about it.

Your insight is greatly appreciated MC!

crazy question: anyone going to one of the lime rock events and doesn't have a guest? i would love to go !

ChrisSlicks · 08-23-2013, 01:19 PM

Do you think more advanced drivers would get anything out of it other than getting an opportunity to drive a GT-R? It seems like it is more focused on beginners.

yeah you will atleast get a free GoPro

was it and all out track day like im used to...no so dont expect that

but it is divided up into different groups and they ask you your skill level. they had the instructors run at an ok clip in Austin. I could go maybe 7/10ths in the corners it was just they had the instructors in Zs for the GTRs and vice versa and we would come up on them in the straights fast and were really limited. I never saw over 120 there.. I heard the 2nd day was more relaxed though.

but thats not what its about. the presentation of the event is awesome and forget speed the most fun part of the event was the autocross competition in the juke nismo! anyone who gets in should jump at the chance to go. It is very structured but they make and effort to accommodate every level and im sure have learned things since the first event

here is my first session from the event.. its probably fairly representative of what to expect. the second session i did in the 2014 GTRs went a bit faster but i didnt have time to grab my camera. and finally the last session I did was the least structured and I was in the Z not the GTR

Operator · 08-23-2013, 11:37 PM

free GoPro? please explain

nice video btw!

MC · 08-24-2013, 02:00 AM

you get a gift bag with a nice shirt a hat a note book and a GoPro Hero 3 white edition with SD card and suction mount

Operator · 08-24-2013, 08:05 AM

that's really cool but I heard not everyone get's the gift bag? or does that just mean only the person who registered but not their guest?
