Connecting at Sebring

Elmo370z · 01-27-2020, 10:02 PM

Yeah I’ve never hit ice mode on with my Z, and I’ve all four rotors smoking when coming off the track. I would suggest try what Rusty said and see if that helps, or contact SS firehawk. He is hard on the brakes as well and he ran a 2:30 around Sebring.

I was thinking overnight: The ice mode issue has gotten much worse since I put in my Nismo Pro Diff set for 2way. I’m wonder if that’s contributing to my issue since it changes lockup dynamics on decelerations. Luckily it’s adjustable to 1.5 way, and it may be worth changing. Any thoughts? Thanks.

My OS Giken is set to 1.5 way with about 80% lock.

Does anyone in the St. Pete., Tampa or Sarasota Bradenton area have a 370z knowledgable mechanic they can recommend. I purchased a 370z road race
project that needs a fair bit of finishing work. I need someone to thoroughly
go through the car and tell me what shape it is mechanically. I can't seem to
find anyone in the Sarasota Bradenton area. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Same here. I’ll be at Sebring on March 29th.

Elmo370z · 05-04-2020, 03:13 PM

End of May?

SS_Firehawk · 05-05-2020, 08:46 PM

Elmo and I will be out end of May. For your brake issues, What's your pad/tire combo and when you press the brakes are you stabbing them or rolling in the pressure (quickly, but not suddenly)? I know that ice mode occurs on a brake tire mismatch and when you shock the ABS. If the initial bite is too aggressive, try a Japanese pad. It sounds dumb, but Japanese pads don't tend to bite as hard initially, but the stopping power and consistency is there. Elmo and I have run Winmax W5's with a lot of success.

I’ll be at Sebring both days this weekend. Bringing rain tires! Hope to see you guys there.

Zoren 370 · 05-27-2020, 07:49 AM

I could just watch...Ima chicken to fast cars!

Good seeing you again. Both me and eddie ended up with a low 2:32 on our last session. To make you feel better I was talking with the challenge cars and they usually run 2:07-2:08’s and today there couldn’t get under 2:13

Tractionless · 06-02-2020, 09:44 AM

Would someone add me to their guest list the next time you head out to a Chin TD at Sebring please?

I emailed them after reading no outside spectators are allowed and they confirmed only invited guests.

Good to see you guys out there, and thanks again for the advice. I stayed right at 2:32 for two full days. Analyzing my data this week after work. Consistent, but not happy with overall lap time. I’m still babying the brakes due to close calls with disaster lately. But getting new ST Trophy kit put in tomorrow, and will definitely be able to shorten braking next time I’m out. I’m back out later this month with NASA.

Fastest I clock you in was a low 2:31. I had trouble trusting the brakes as well. My last session I just push the brakes down harder and it seems to bypass the abs kicking in. Upset I didn’t do that earlier in the day

Well we learned some interesting things about the car. The ducting ssfirehawk made out of cardboard and duct tape, worked a little to good lol. It has massive amounts of air flowing into the engine bay and underneath the car. Downside not enough venting to get the air out, under braking into high speed corner the rear end would get very light and start to move around and you visibly see the hood shaking and hear the undertray scraping lol. Almost the car still seems to run happy at 270 degree oil temps, would of loved to logged at the oil temps, with pulling power when oil temps reached 280. This is in 90 plus degree heat with humidity ranging from 60-90%. Hopefully we can take this information and make some
Improvement to reach out sub 2:30 goal on street tires.
