However, the tyres fared well with just a bit of camber wear on the front right and on the outer edges of both front tyres.

The existing one was replaced 5 years and 10,000 km ago. This bearing destroyed itself again after many right hand turns at Winton.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div>The suspected cause of its early demise was that the 32mm nut securing the drive shaft to the hub became loose over time and the amount of play allowed movement in the bearing that should not have occurred. This accelerated the wear within the bearing unit itself.</div><div><br /></div><div>A new hub and bearing unit has been installed and the drive shaft nut now has Loctite applied and retorqued to spec. A big thank you to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/silas.andrianto/" target="_blank">@silas.andrianto</a> for the heavy lifting and mechanical advice.

I picked up a set of Shockworks due to good feedback from others and local support. So after chatting to Chris at Shockworks, he supplied a set of 370Z shocks valved for use with semi slicks. Spring rates are 14 kg/mm front and 8 kg/mm rear. Initial driving on the street showed that the car has good ride compliance and the steering feels more direct now. The ride is more firm than the Cusco's but doesn't crash when going over bumps. It also seems flatter around sweeping corners at moderate speed. A big thanks to Macgillaz for the installation help and Chris for the setup advice. I'm looking forward to test and adjust these soon at the track.<br />

So I started thinking about how I can make the car go faster around corners. After reading a post by my friend Tom at <a href="https://honeddevelopments.com/" target="_blank">Honed Developments</a>, I started thinking that I should fix the roll center on the Z and attempt to return it to factory specifications. As Honed doesn't make roll center adjustment kits for Nissans, I jumped on to the interwebs and found a company called Moon Face in Japan. After a few emails to <a href="https://jessestreeter.com/" target="_blank">Jesse Streeter</a>, these arrived a few weeks later.<br />

I had to use a ball joint puller, WD-40 and Loctite Freeze & Release to get the factory tapered collars unstuck. This is the ball joint for the front upper arms.<br />

With the Moon Face ball joints fitted into the knuckles, Jim came over to help assemble everything again in the front. As a track day was looming, we ran out of time and didn't fit the rear new tapered collars as that would probably require an entire afternoon in itself. Now all that was left to do before track day was to get a wheel alignment.<br />
<br />

Still almost two seconds off my PB.<br />

<br />
Session 1 was not timed as it was a practice session and we were driving to around 80% capacity. However RaceChrono showed that I clocked a 1:10.8 which was already 2.5 seconds faster than my previous best time.<br />
<br />
In session 2, I was able to start pushing and I finished with a 1:08.5 - 4.8 seconds faster than my previous best.<br />
<span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:18.4065 1:11.6445 1:11.2580 1:09.1216 1:09.7839 </span><u style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:08.5055</u><span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"> 1:10.7413 1:08.8626 1:12.1030</span><br />
<span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span>
There was no further improvement in sessions 3 and 4, but I still managed to dip into the 1:08's.<span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:20.2357 1:10.2046 1:09.5703 1:09.7438 1:10.3324 </span><u style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:08.9062</u><span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"> 1:09.9414 1:13.0515 1:09.6468</span><br />
<span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:21.8112 1:11.1080 1:11.4054 1:09.0989 1:10.8316 </span><u style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;">1:08.7809</u><span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"> 1:11.6312 1:10.2478</span><br />
<span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre;"><br /></span>It's interesting to note that I can still go a fair bit faster through sector 4 of the lap (turns 7, 8 and 9), with RaceChrono showing a theoretical best of 1:07.2.<br />
<br />
A speed comparison shows big gains throughout every part of the lap, especially the sweeper at turn 3.<br />

Comparison of my speed graph to the previous personal best lap way back in 2013. It appears that the new track surface has aided in speed gains throughout pretty much every corner. However, there is more to gain through more aggressive driving (after I have compared my best lap video with other Z drivers).</div>

For some reason my final session wasn't recorded. I matched my personal best time from almost 2 years ago. The wider tyres appear to help with corner speeds significantly. I just need to keep working on top speeds on the long sections. However, it was good to see some consistent sub-1:40 laps, which was not something I managed to do 2 years ago.<br />

When we walked in, we were greeted by three Aventadors. The red one was the newly released Aventador LP750-4 SV (Superveloce).<br />

The SV gets some extra power, different wheels, more aggressive bumpers and a rear wing.<br />

We started the visit with a tour of the factory, where they currently build the Aventador and Huracan. Unfortunately, there was a workers strike that day and the production line was not operating. It was still good to see the cars in various stages of assembly. Once again, no photography was permitted inside the factory.<br />
<br />
Back in the museum, the ground floor is filled with classic Lamborghinis.<br />

We also went on a "tour of the factory and Fiorano test track". The reason I have used quotation marks is because this tour consisted of a bus ride around the grounds of the factory and around the outside of the track, and not actually on the track. This tour was completely unlike other car factory tours where you are guided and shown the manufacturing process. Ferrari are so secretive that the tour was as good as standing outside the factory fence and looking in. In my opinion, this tour is not worth the money. Just enjoy the Ferrari museums.KTHLhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17715989170488475743noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120114491543760304.post-82066556338751726712015-09-21T01:26:00.000+10:002015-09-21T01:26:49.534+10:00Ferrari - Modena, ItalyIn the motoring world, the small town of Modena in Italy is probably most well known as the birthplace of Ferrari. It is here that Enzo Ferrari first set up Scuderia Ferrari. At the northern part of Modena sits Museo Enzo Ferrari, a museum that celebrates the life of Enzo Ferrari with exhibits of the company's notable road cars.<br />
