It looked like you were having fun, I worked 11, 5, and 2 yesterday (wtf lol).

You looked to catch on quickly, real suggestion is use ALL the race track! What did your back bumper say? I couldn't read it lol.

yes that was my one big problem that i was getting a little better at... unfortunatly cracked rotors ended my day sunday so couldnt get out and work on that.


i had cracked rotors sunday and fried brake fluid saturday so i was having dificulty getting my car to stop all weekend.

its definatly something I will work on in august.


edit::: my GF put Birthday Boy on the back of the car lol .... it paid off though.

you have drilled rotors then? that may not be good for me lol. i think i'm going ahead and getting my old rotors turned so when the one i have on do crack at the track all i have to do is crank the caliper back and put the old ones back on

no they were stock rotors... just old. havnt replaced them since i bought the car. I had no idea the abuse it was going to take.

I had big time problems stopping the car saturday because the brakefluid i had was regular street fluid that was BLACK.... completely fried and the brake pedal was going straight to the floor with no pressure off the back stretch....

trying to stop a car at 125mph with no brake pressure was scary lol went into 10a way too fast and decided to go back to the paddock and fully flush the brakes and replace with high temp fluid....

then sunday brakes were great until i cracked the rotors.

When you do get new rotors I would suggest not to get cross drilled rotors if you intend to do more track events. They tend to crack easily. But then I have also seen slotted rotors crack too.

BTW, the car looks great on a track.

The wheels...make me wanna vomit. A set of BBS would kinda get rid of the feminine aspect of the Z.

maybe so... but when u gotta be at the track on a Friday and you find out thursday that your rims have stress cracks in them and you fork up $1000 to have new rims delivered to the shop same day.... there wasnt much to choose from ok emissions boy.
