what tires?

[@ckrampertracing]

Bridgestone RE-71R (275-35-18)

[@unijabnx2000]

Have you used the Direzza ZII star specs before?

[@ckrampertracing]

I personally have not. It's a good track tire from what I've heard, but in the realm of 200 treadwear rated tires used for competition, the RE71's BFG Rival S's are king at this current time.

[@unijabnx2000]

Do you know how the SCCA handles the rules for Street class (since stock class is gone now) for the 370z since the stock tires are 140tw and the street class needs 200tw?

[@ckrampertracing]

I never realized the OEM tires (Bridgesone RE050A) were 140 tw. I promise you that the re71 will beat it.

What are the oil temps when you auto cross?

[@ckrampertracing]

MSFerrari248F1 I never had an issue with oil temps on autocross since you have a break between runs. In high heat in the summer it would get as high as 230F if I remember correctly, however I sold the car last year. For track days I hooked up an oil cooler, then disconnected it and plugged the lines with AN fittings for autocross. Kind of a hassle, but at National level you have to stay legal....

ckrampert racing thanks for getting back to me man. What were the brakes you were running when you had the car. I have a base 2012 370z and want to track it. I am thinking of the Wilwood 6piston calipers and a quaife lsd.

[@ckrampertracing]

MSFerrari248F1 stock brakes forxp8 autocross which were excellent. I ran carbotechs on track which I also liked. I ran xp10/xp8, front/rear. You might try xp12/10.

ckrampert racing I found some akebonos on eBay for way cheaper than the wilwoods, I’ll take your word for it and install carbotechs. By the way nice car control man, it was quick.
