Sixpax, you'll be fine, just ask someone to ride along and take advantage of the novice walk, etc. Honestly, I don't even usually walk the course except for national events.

Sixpax, you'll be fine, just ask someone to ride along and take advantage of the novice walk, etc. Honestly, I don't even usually walk the course except for national events. Occasionally I do a walk or partial walk at Fedex. I wouldn't at all recommend that for a newbie. I treat locals as an exercise in looking ahead, which you are forced to do if you haven't seen it before.

Could you guys give me some feedback on my driving? See the vid below. This was my event last weekend on Dunlop z2's, a broken exhaust and blown rear diff bushing. I came in 9th losing to a few BRZ's and an EvoX.

Despite it being wet out I think I could have done better but would like to hear some feedback on what I could be doing wrong.

How do you know you blew your diff bushing? Does it clunk?

I am not sure, i have been looking at whiteline but i saw energy has them too for alittle cheaper.

It doesnt clunk at all normal driving, but when i launch it wheel hops like that sh!ts going out of style. I also had this horrible smell i couldnt figure out where it was. then i saw drips on my muffler pipe. then when i jacked up the car i saw it dripping from the rear bushing. Its black and fuggin nasty.

I would go too but I don't want this to happen again so I'm just doing the upgrade.

What tires and sizes is everyone running, im intrested in a 370z for either CS or BS with the nismo, i'd like to know if anyone has ran a 295/35/18 on all 4 corners on stock suspension or at least a 285, im assuming that an 18" would fit over the brakes since ive seen a few guys running them.. anybody running wide rivals in stock class yet?

295/40-18 square at stock ride height no problems. Only thing I've noticed is a slight rub on the fender liner under hard cornering.

That's a good size tire, only issue nobody makes them anymore I'm thinking running the rival or the new kumho whenever it's released.
Anyone on here running a nismo at a national level? If so how do you well do you compete with the s2000?
