I thought I'd start this thread with my discoveries I've made about my Z NISMO:
- My 2024 Z NISMO was 3635 across the "official" SCCA scales with ⅜ tank of fuel, and without removing any of the carpets, subwoofer, and rear foam.
- When in SPORT+ mode starting in Auto shifting mode, shifting using the paddles with switch the car to manual mode, and will remain in that mode until the car stops.
- Launch mode will engage even though I'm not in SPORT+ mode, but you really don't want to do that.
- My current alignment is the stock alignment with zero front toe. It totally transforms the car and makes the car very confidence-inspiring.
- Tires are Bridgestone RE-71RS, sizes 285/35R19 front, 305/30R19 rear. Best tire pressures-so far-seem to be 31-32 PSI all the way around.
- I use an AutoSport Labs RaceCapture/Track MK3 for data acquisition, and while I can capture data from the Z, I haven't been able to get access to steering angle and brake pressure. I suspect that the data is on the CAN bus, but not on the OBD-II/CAN bus.
- I have built an Arduino-based CAN bus sniffer, but I've not yet been able to see steering angle or braking data-but I'm more likely to believe it's something I've not yet checked.
- Using Launch Control on a ProSolo is really required, but I haven't yet figured out the best timing on the lights to get into the 0.600-0.800 start range.
