Since it doesn't look like many Z's will be coming to the Thunderhill Track day on Oct 1st, I'm wondering what's the best set-up for a '05 enthusiast w/ CAI?

I've got the 17" rims w/ stock tires...what tire pressure works best?

any other useful hints?


thanks!

 

Bring extra brake pads. It hurts to drive all the way back on metal to metal. Tire pressure is going to vary by temp. I'd start at 35 psi cold and feel it out. If traction is a problem take them down a couple of pounds at a time.

 

Find a good instructor and try and stick with him for several sessions.

Also, study the map and familiarize yourself with the layout of the track:
