I could only set a 2.07.3 on buttonwillow. Not fast by any means but pretty respectable on the tires i have and the open diff. Hopefully next time there is close to 2 flat. I know where i can shave time, i called it early because not enough camber and i was ruining my front driver side tire...

I just knew what happened, glad you are safe Carlos

From my last track day, whatsapp quality

I like seeing supercars owners disappointed

I don't have a thing against them, but it is amusing when a first timer try to use the straights because his car is faster. We don't have different groups.

And I could hold my laugh when I saw what I did in my friend's car

It is eating cones

There have been a few others who have experienced the same thing, wstar and megan370z also had to replace their transmissions. Even after adding the cooler, there is no gaurantee that the trans will last for a long time. I was able to get mine to last for 2 years and 10 track days after doing so.

Once i got my transmission fixed the last time (lol...i destroyed 4 transmissions) i decided that was enough and sold it, then bought a six speed 370z. Swapping the transmissions is harder than it looks and requires a lot of work to replace harnesses, the ecu and some other things to make the manual work in an automatic chassis. It was much easier and possibly cheaper to buy a used 370z and swap all my parts over.

Thanks a lot for the info bro! I really appreciated

I think im going to wait to see if I can find a G37 with a manual transmission because I dont want to deal with those problems.

Maybe I end in another Z hahaha! how knows!

I've decided that I'm buying a track car sense I went two weekends and knew that I would harm the car iif I continues. One other thing make sure your brakes are in good standing, I burnt through 3 pads on the straight away at 110MPH yeah...IO had to change underwear and call it an early day.

Planing on buying a 350Z the end of March of this year.

I track with 2011 Nismo#91 and he runs a manual with no issues. Drive it home almost 2 hours afterwords. Think he's been doing this for about 5 years.

Thanks for the info my friend! Im just worry about the automatic transmission in the Z/G37

all the other parts that I need to track the car I know it already

I track my Z in the past before sell it

Damn how I miss my Z... and see the pics of you guys in the track having fun with yours Z's dont help Loooooooool!

That makes me want to pick up a Z from the dealer today

bigaudiofanat · 02-27-2018, 07:46 AM

Hotrodz · 02-27-2018, 08:10 AM

Looking good!

carlitos_370z · 02-27-2018, 09:18 AM

I know that maybe this is not the correct thread to ask this but for those that have or know something about the automatic transmission in a 370z or G37 and track them... How the transmission works? Any issues? I have to upgrade something maybe a transmission cooler, etc... I ask this because im looking to get a G37S and I cant find one with manual transmission

... All of them are automatic

What you guys can tell me about that... any recomendations?

Thanks!
