i cannot believe no one has given him the most important advice.

make sure you run very good engine oil. Motul 300v chrono is a must for a track day. if you don't chances are you will spin a bearing

its the old saying..."if you don't want to spin a bearing...put Motul in it!"

I would make sure your number plates are both off. I know that insurance investigators often go to trackdays armed with cameras to catch out somebody who has an incident so they cant make a claim

So are you saying that spun bearings much more likely due to oil film breakdown than oil starvation? I would have thought the reverse was the case.

One thing you might want to do is get some Redline Water Wetter. Add it to your coolant to slightly help it from boiling. It aint too expensive and works well. I'll definetely be adding it to my system every track day.

ha i didnt know insurance people go that far with their jobs.

Yes, the head honches will even follow you into a public toilet to take a urine and stool sample for analysis; testing for booze, drugs n maybe even a hot curry/kebab with extra garlic sauce to prove the accident was your fault.

yes he runs motul 300v LEMANS

100% agree

for the engine with a little blow buy the lemans.... it is the shit!( and cost the same as the chrono)

i recomen in all breathing gtr motors (high HP it would help as well i guess)

chrono for the non breathers...

on a side note spun bearings are a combo of oil level and oil temp

the motul wont fix the oil level problem(it would make it worse as it cost a bomb) but it certainly keeps it together at higher temps for constant times

Isn't Chrono abit extreme for the OP (roughly no more than 200kw with the mods listed), I'd probably recommend it for 300kw, but for a engine putting out approx 200kw a very good semi synth or a full synth (like Motul 8100) will do imo. What's the story with full synthetics, is it true they don't protect all that well after a fresh oil change, takes about 1000km before they're fully effective?

that is what is known as a 'load of shit'. Oil works best from the moment it leaves the bottle. Hell, I'm lucky to do 1000kms between oil changes. If you want a performance synth oil a bit cheaper than the 300v, Get some Royal Purple 10w40. ERD sell it for about $80 per 5l bottle I think.

make sure your pads and rotors have plenty of meat left.

make sure all levels are good and a nice set of rubber.

thats what i was thinking..it doesn't matter if the quality of the pad is the best u can get as long as there is plenty of pad on it. it will be fine for one day at a track.

As long as the oil levels are on high enough on the dip stick even with stock oil it will be fine...

What ever you do... don't even consider going out on the track without bleeding the brakes with a dot 4 fluid. Secondly, personally I wouldn't go out on the track without some pads that at the very least are sports pads that can take a bit of heat... ie. bendix ultimates at the very least but even they are very ordinary pads.

As somebody said before, if you can't stop trust me the day will just be scary, you'll have no fun and probably crash the car.

Couldnt agree with you more. The day just gets scary and un-enjoyable when you find the car isnt stopping when you want it to. And the more you try thw worse it gets. Untill that one time... :/

I use Motul RBF 600 in my R33, and it hasnt let me down yet, even with "sport" Ferodo's on there. Have been meaning to get something a little heavier for the track.

Honestly,

I think your better off going to QR on the 6th of october for the Nissan Day!

Have you worked out who is going to tow it home!?!?

Sorry mate just playing around, i have seen way too many blow up though.

Thats why i got an evo for track. i will be driving a 32 GTR on the day though

Fingers crossed!!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
