Yes I have been reading and just trying to get a starting point. NCM track and autocross setup, majority autocross.



03 350z track
Rears 10.5" 275/35/18
Fronts 8" 235's

Spc upper arms
Billstein pro springs kit
Anti sway

Wondering how I should possibly set my caster camber when telling my guy at shop tomorrow.

Also was debating just having him disable the vsd and abs as it's having an issue anyhow. Thoughts above criticism please. As I'm just throwing this out there quickly.


I haven't been in car yet to track so I just needed a helpful starting point and info as I get adjusted to it and make changes to my feel.

Thanks!

Start with getting on track

But he has to do alignment so just didn't know if there were any opinions on what starting point.

This is a pretty complicated question, so I'll simply provide a starting point:

1) ABS is a must-have IMHO. At high speed tracks, you simply cannot pump the pedal fast enough to replicate what ABS does to prevent lockup.

2) VDC (not sure what you mean by vsd?) can be easily disabled, but is useful in the wet. If there's no other choice, take it out and rely upon your car control skills.

3) Caster and camber recommendations are highly dependent on what kind of tires you are using, the rules of the class you're in and which track you are at. I'll simply say that -3 degrees in the front is a good starting point, with the rears at about -1.8 degrees for better wear at a road racing track. Learn how to use a pyrometer to better gauge how your tires are performing at the track.
