Quick report after my first real trackday with the Datsun.
First I did the biannual MOT. Passed with flying colors, not because it should have, but because the guy loved it! He asked how much power it had: "I don't want to tell you". "Don't worry, I haven't seen anything".
Then I drove straight to the track, car is now charging fully at 1700 rpm, so no problems there.
Trackday went without a hitch. Two issues though, one major and one minor. The major one, they measured the car at 101dB on the straight. All trackdays here are now 95dB basically. I wasn't even close!
So I had to back off on the straight.
Minor: Need better brake fluid.
The car was very well balanced and easy to drive. On the other hand it's hard to drive fast with flow. I need a lot more seat time with it to be able to push it and extract more. I drove at 8-9 tenths.
Engine is SO good. It just pulls and pulls. In the video, I revved it to 7500 max. The max I saw at the end of the day after the sound guy went home was 8200rpm in third on the straight. If this was a track car, I would go with an even shorter rear end ratio. 3.54 would have been terrible, so I'm quite happy with the 3.9, a decent compromise.
I also drove a Westfield, that was VERY fun! First time driving one of those on track. Lack some grunt, but such a satisfying car to drive
