You should do a full track day review, Andrew. Brand new set of Zestino’s, drive every session of the day, 2 warm ups, 2 cool downs, 80 plus laps, 60 plus hot laps. A real world experience, like a real life track day where we can see the durability and subsequent wear and tear on the car and costs of the sport. That would be great content that really helps the community.
Everything you talk about with the feel of the car, can definitely be seen in the video regardless of tyre choice (Zestinos definitely the choice for track pace). Hopefully the cars balance can be sorted out without ruining day to day drivability on road. Good video
Awesome content! Much needed systematic upgrades and results, other than buying a car and shoving as much power at it as you can and saying it's perfect
At the start of the second of half of the track when you start going up hill, you should downshift to second gear and stay there until exiting into the straight.
To fix some of the unwanted chassis tendencies, 1. Square tire setup, 295s all the way around. 2. Stiff springs (17k+ in the front), and quality dampers. 3. Bigger sway bar up front, possibly disconnect the rear sway bar.
A Bit Disappointed, that 2 laps and it needs a cool down. For a modern car , that would be aimed at some sporty driving. It sounds like Nissan need to upgrade it's oil cooling abilities from factory. Understanding the fact you are extracting more out of it. But still sounds like limited head room. A bigger oil cooler might be the first big modification required
Did they actually show multiple laps one after the either? we didn’t “overheat” ours. We stopped before temp went that far to look after the car better than most would.
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam theirs was totally stock was it not? Once you even tune an engine you are adding more stress. So totally stock car I bet could. Got to be apples for apples
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam yeah whats the car details. Mine are the same but i know my 80’s turbo cars we’re barely stressed its why they last 400,000kms . Even with track days. This is modern stressed engine meeting emissions. Remember apples with apples. Its like comparing trans gender with original its not right
@@TheFK8Life Yep, many sports cars can handle a few 4-5 lap jaunts over the course of a track day, but if you want to get serious and cut 100 laps over the course of a trackday, then it's cooler time, baby!
Nice car but a shame you can only get 2 flying laps with it at this moment in time. I run bridgestone t005s on the skyline and have been awsome but il be getting some michelin pilots
Why not adjust sway bars to get a more neutral result on corner entry? And or exit? (Not sure you could Accomplish both with just sway bar adjustments, maybe spring wights and dampening would have to be adjusted as well) but why not do that before changing the tires?
Would you look into the Nankang CR-S? I recently changed from the Zestino to this tyre and I’m quite impressed with them. Found they were better than Zestino in a few aspects.
@@toddxhiggins The Zestino technically should be faster than the CR-S given its a 140TW tyre compared to the CR-S which is 200tw and much longer lasting. However in reality I've yet to see the zestino beat any 200tw semi slick tyre in a comparison. Last one I say it got spanked by the new AD09 which is meant to be a street/track tyre that also can be driven fast in the wet also and is also Asymmetrical (very similar to the CR-S but a little better given another a comparison test I saw) and would probably last twice as long as the Zestino too given its meant to last longer then other 200tw tyres. It seems with the Zestino your getting the grip of a 220 treadwear emi slick tyre but with the teadlife of a 140 The only good thing about them is the price.
Those lap time improvements could have just been driver improvement with more experience on the track. The lap times would have come down just the same with the original tyres with more practice too.
the bridgestone s007's are just a crap tire, even on a completely stock Z. I hate mine and will be swapping them out shortly after just a few hundred miles. they are just greasy feeling, a bit unpredictable, don't handle well at the limit, starts to slide too easily and too early, it doesn't inspire any confidence. I'll never understand why they give us forged wheels but awful tires.
Turn the stabilisation on the GoPro, footage will be a tonne better. Damn shame that track isn’t a drift track like it was promised to be when it was getting designed and built because it’s a shit race track

Great vid! Pretty disappointing re the oil and water temps issue on a car like this though..

There is not one thing here we agree with but you’re welcome to prove us wrong
@@MotiveVideo That's what works on 350z & 370zs. Don't see why the new Z would be much different.

great Z content. please keep it coming, would love to see you address all the cooling issues next
Good rubber always works a treat
Can’t wait to see more z content, loving it 👌
Like the 370 you'll need alot of mods to keep it cool and track worthy.
that sounds like a pain
@RockyRoads pretty standard for most cars you end up tracking - adding oil coolers, radiators, trans cooler, diff cooler etc

Luv your content motive video very informative. I am regular at luddenham raceway and hope I
get the chance to run into you guys and say hi
I like Bridgestone but the S007 is a terrible tire. I had a set on a mint 400hp 944 turbo and I returned them the next day.
Oh boi... they are some big tyres.
Nice car but a shame you can only get 2 flying laps with it at this moment in time. I run bridgestone t005s on the skyline and have been awsome but il be getting some michelin pilots
What does the lap time mean? How fast or slow is that compared to other cars for context?
Fast cars are doing low 50s with sub 50 being very fast. Mid 50s is a reasonable pace
It's pretty slow for a modern performance vehicle imo. Cheaper cars are doing the times its doing with tyre and coilovers completely stock.
the 2nd gen BRZ he had did it in 53.88 (before a tune)
@@DylanTK I want to see motive put a turbo on the BRZ, since they're being done in Aus now.
could you use the Zestino’s as a street tyre or are they more for the track.
Why not adjust sway bars to get a more neutral result on corner entry? And or exit? (Not sure you could
Accomplish both with just sway bar adjustments, maybe spring wights and dampening would have to be adjusted as well) but why not do that before changing the tires?
The tires on the Z suck.
Andrew definitely looks a lot less "busy" driving the car on the slicks.
They're still road legal performance tyres. 140TW> they nmot semi slicks or r-comp etc
Would you look into the Nankang CR-S? I recently changed from the Zestino to this tyre and I’m quite impressed with them. Found they were better than Zestino in a few aspects.
The cr-s should be much faster. It's a completely different class of tyre
Andrew is sponsored by Zestino so that is extremely unlikely.
@@toddxhiggins

Thank god Nissan put a manual gearbox in the Z
Those lap time improvements could have just been driver improvement with more experience on the track. The lap times would have come down just the same with the original tyres with more practice too.
Not a chance. We know the track well enough to know
need more camber bro
Honestly not as much quicker given its a 140W tw tyre compared to a street tyre.
I miss the old gr yaris
STILL MISS MY 370Z ❤😢

To make your Z Slide and have fun, not to track it lol
Dial out that under steer and it looks like it’d be a fun driver
To be honest it’s very nervous and not overly predictable or fun
Making the nissan z faster with upgraded T.... ☺️
Tyres 🥴
maybe skip the helmet cam.
Turn the stabilisation on the GoPro, footage will be a tonne better.
Damn shame that track isn’t a drift track like it was promised to be when it was getting designed and built because it’s a shit race track
Wow nice advertisement lol waste of time watching 😢
Wow. Dumb post. Waste of reading.
early early
she does not sound like a nice car for the track if you want lap times, high speed oversteer is not confidence inspiring.
it is a bodykit and new engine on a 20 year old chassis. Nissan parts bin turd.
