My G sedan at Infineon, HPDE

A couple laps from an integra behind my 05mt g sedan at infineon. (i don't have an inboard camera.... yet)

Unfortunately last session of the day. accidentally left the ac on when leaving pre-grid. engine was overheating and i didn't know what was going on. That's how he caught up to me and why i pointed him bye at the end. Also because of that wasn't driving well, my line is all over the place, esp turn 1,2, and 3. and i oversped into 6 that first lap. ops. still learning.

Very nice! Reminds me of when I was following a 4dr G35 with my old Civic track car - although I remember he was correcting slightly for oversteer on all the low speed corners (can't tell from the vid if you are or not).
I am presuming your suspension is stock. Do you mind me asking what the rest of your setup was (tires, pads, pressures)?

P.S. - Have you thought about posting this is the Road Racing / AutoX sub forum?

Haha, yes, bone stock sport suspension, as evident by that terrible body roll.

I had terrible terrible problems with break fade with that fattie car, did the brembo conversion and have hawk HP+ pads and break fade so far has been manageable. Have Hankook ventus rs-3's on now. Ridiculously stickier than the sumitomo HTRZIII's i've had for years. Tire pressures were just 32psi all around.

I'm still kind of new to Infiniti - what did them Brembo brakes come off of?

Also what fluid are you using (I am assuming Super Blue or something similar)?

The g35 sedan, coupe and 350z all have the same chasis and near identical suspension points. My set was off a wrecked 350z track that was being parted out. Paid 1000 for it, which is about what it goes for. There's some good posts in the DIY section about the conversion. The stock 18" sedan sport wheels though will not fit on the front set.

Using ATE super blue right now, switching it with motul 600 every flush. Also have goodridge stainless steel break lines. Still have kind of crappy brake feel though, and still able to get it to fade. Before I switched most recently to the hawk HP+ pads, had some terrible fade at thunderhill, which has a lot of heavy breaking sections.

Other mods, GT spec rear tie brace, strut brace. Alutec front strut brace. Stillen intake/stillen z-tube, motordyne mrev2/plenum spacer.

When you say the stock sedan sport wheels will not fit after the brake upgrade, what did you move to so that it would work?

2pc rotors will help fight fade

The front brembo calipers are a ton fatter than the stock pieces of crap. I just have 15mm spacers on for the clearance, but that's not really ideal. (They also came loose and almost fell off at a track event ).Too lazy/poor to get wheels with enough of a cup to clear the calipers.

That would be nice to be able to stay with 18" rims.
