In my experience, before going boost. 17 BRZ full bolt ons, with full tank e85. I was equally as fast as new gen minus end of rpm range in each gear. New gen would pull on me slightly on long straights. But now that I'm boost well I smoke em lol. Great video as always thank you!

that's one way to solve that problem! 😂 but that makes sense, from all the dyno comparisons I've seen they're similar with a very slight edge to the 2nd gen

bad positive connection can cause something called a load dump that can explode every electronic device in your car. it can create long 100V+ transients on the 13.8V bus. devices are meant to be protected against stuff like that, and OEM devices should be protected, but you never know. aftermarket devices are often made by dingdongs who frankly should not be selling any electronics at all, so if you have stuff like aftermarket temperature sensors, can logging, etc, just be very wary about the dangers. finally, if you have phone chargers, make sure you use a good one because i personally had an experience where a transient on the 13.8V bus caused the phone charger to get damaged, and send transients into the phone and kill the phone.

Lmao, the first event of the year is always rough. My car was giving me shit too! I had to rip the shift boot off in the paddock since it kept getting wedged in my shifter and blocking me out of 3rd. That last session was great though!

Hey Dadhats, I was actually at the same SCCA event! I was in the black 370Z running intermediate. I actually just posted a video about the same event a few days ago too haha. I’ve always wondered if I would run into you but I didn’t know what your BRZ looked like. I’ll definitely come up next time :)

Hey man, how many miles do you have on the brz? Looking into potentially getting one as a track car, anything you recommend being aware of looking out for?
@dadhats
@dadhats 10 күн бұрын
I think around 58k. they're great, I'd def recommend them! the early model years (13,14) have issues with coil packs overheating but were updated and fixed in the 2015 model year. 2017-21 manuals also have the 4.3fd that is noticeably quicker. also they all require an oil cooler for track use 👍

Couple questions about the car. 1. How’s the peak power RPM? 2. Do you have any engine modification plans going forward? (I.e. keep it n/a or boost it) 3. What’s with the dash trim piece?
@dadhats
@dadhats 17 күн бұрын
it's good it pulls all the way to redline! I have a video showing the dyno sheet if you're interested. def keeping it na, not worth taking the hit in reliability in my opinion. I've considered a kswap, but they aren't cheap. I'm more interested in suspension and chassis tuning anyway. that was something the previous owner did and I didn't want to replace that trim piece, the anime stuff is very permanent lol

That’s a poorly placed flag station imo but the flagger was waving a yellow right before the Datsun gave you the point by. I assume the black flag was because you passed under said yellow. I just got a C5 track car myself and might take it to Thunderbolt some time in the future
@dadhats
@dadhats 17 күн бұрын
agreed idk why they put it there. I def missed that flag bc I was busy looking at the car slowing down in front of me. they actually black flagged the entire session to get that mustang off track!
