**A Day in the Life: Testing the S13 at High Speed**

Today was an exciting day as I got to test out the S13 at high speeds, and I must say it was a wild ride. My initial guess for the car's performance was around mid to low four hundred horsepower, but boy was I wrong! The engine sounds sick, and I can already tell that this thing is going to be a beast on the track.

As I sat in the cockpit, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness at the same time. This car has been modified to perfection, with a strong F-star making it more than just a pretty face. The sound system is also top-notch, and it's easy to see why this car has made so many tourists fill their lives.

Before we even started testing, I had a chance to drive around the track and get familiar with the car's handling. The first thing that struck me was how quickly the car accelerated from 0-60 mph. It was like a rocket ship taking off! But what really caught my attention was how well it handled in third gear. Despite having a turbocharger, the engine felt surprisingly smooth and responsive.

However, I soon realized that this car comes with its fair share of quirks. The tires were mounted on a special grip system, which made drifting a breeze. However, this also meant that I had to be extra careful not to overdrive them, or risk damaging the car's suspension. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride trying to balance speed with control.

One of the things that really stood out to me was how responsive the steering wheel felt. It was like the car was alive and responding to every subtle movement I made. However, there were also moments where the steering felt a bit off-kilter, as if the rack wasn't centered perfectly. This caused some hesitation on the track, which made it difficult to maintain speed.

Despite these minor issues, I was still blown away by the car's performance. We did manage to leave it in third gear for quite a while, which is impressive considering the gearing system felt a bit weird at first. But as we continued to drive, I realized that this was just one of those cars that takes some getting used to.

As I got more comfortable behind the wheel, I started to focus on other aspects of the car's performance. One thing that really stood out was how well it handled braking, especially with the addition of a new cooling system for the turbocharger. This made a huge difference in terms of stability and control, allowing me to brake harder and maintain speed.

Of course, no test drive would be complete without some minor adjustments and tweaks. We were able to address a few issues with the fuel lines, but unfortunately, we ran out of time before we could get them reinstalled properly. So, that's going on the list for tomorrow's testing day.

As I left the track today, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for what's to come. Tomorrow will be a new day, with new challenges and opportunities to fine-tune this incredible machine. And who knows? Maybe we'll even see some improvements in terms of reliability and performance.

**Post-Test Reflections**

As I reflect on today's test drive, I'm still trying to process just how good this car feels. From the sound system to the handling, every aspect of the S13 has been meticulously tuned to perfection. Of course, there are always areas for improvement, but it's clear that the team has put in a lot of work to create something truly special.

One thing that really struck me was just how different this car feels from others in its class. The turbocharged engine is incredibly smooth and responsive, making it feel almost like driving a naturally aspirated engine. And yet, despite its size, the S13 still manages to deliver incredible acceleration and handling.

As I look forward to tomorrow's testing day, I know that we'll be addressing some of the minor issues that arose today. The fuel lines will need to be reinstalled properly, and we'll also be making a few tweaks to the suspension and steering system. But despite these challenges, I'm confident that this car is going to be an absolute beast on the track.

In fact, I'm so excited about what's to come that I can barely sleep tonight thinking about all the possibilities. And who knows? Maybe we'll even see some surprises along the way. One thing's for sure, though - this S13 is going to be a wild ride.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endefinitely an exciting day today guys we are taking the 350z to the track we're actually gonna be driving this 13 Tommy's meeting us there with the trailer he's gonna be driving the Z and we're gonna try to get some tandem practice since I've been driven the car in awhile and I want to feel comfortable with it before super date so the track said to get some drinks first pulling up bomb the bumpy roads with the lifted sea how's it feel to be the one on the other side don't hurt your car he lives through an excuse to two-step no I feel layman like you don't have a purpose in life yes my good friend Alain who I haven't seen in a while so here tested his car it doesn't sound the same nope nope we swapped from an ls1 to an ls3 put a big cam in it change out valve springs from the morning mods it's making more horsepower than it did on the ls1 that power figure I want you to drive and see what you think it is what what is it oh you don't want to tell me I don't want to tell you I want you to drive it and I want you to tell me what you think it might be then I'll tell my guess is that's like mid to low four hundred maybe it's roughly more it's probably more it sounds sick Miss America I bet though my F star makes more tourists fill in their life all right we're gonna go test out the past thirteen Wow I forgot how not low I sit in this my head hit the cage it's been a minute since I've driven a cage star I guess I'm on the grip use tires I've ever run on this there are a hundred tread wear Federals I normally don't drift with them but they've been mounted my wheels and I haven't been able to get rid of them because they've been mounted to my wheels so I'm gonna try to drift with them and hope I don't break anything the cars like dump gripped up right now it's gonna be fast I'm gonna try to leave in a third on the next one I don't like bounced off rev limiter but that's just kind of how this gearing feels it's weird how much light at steering wheels on the star got a little bit of weird like bouncing around with my cool in town I think it actually is just something to do with like voltage or something like a loose connector or something see how she likes third I've been out lock the whole time definitely we're driving this car being used to the other one but that's sick that we were able to leave it in third I just don't know how manageable it's going to be in tandem tires that plenty of grip what I'm most concerned about is making sure that this car will stay properly cool because that won't be fun as super-dee if the car is constantly getting hot on me feels very responsive though I mean we just shred in third and before the car if a little bit dead try to mess around and fling it in a little bit harder the things fun I like felt pretty backwards do like we got the super hot boys DS let me see if Tommy what stoppin we're gonna do a practice run following Tommy taking it more comfortable tan to me different with a turbo car than to intimate with disease a lot more commitment just gotta stay in the throttle my lines a little off one thing I really need to work on is like blipping the throttle because on the entry I almost forget and that takes a second to delay so all I'm on the footbrake I need to start on my seal towing a little bit I'm gonna work on that on the next one just kind of keep the revs up these pedals aren't really set up well for heel-toe that is one thing that I kind of noticed because my firewalls all bashed in I can't arc my foot around I wonder if I can like bash a firewall back a little bit or something or adjust my pedals maybe man it's tricky with all the clutch kicks so much more difficult to like follow closely in this car compared to like a 350z I really got to work on my technique it's a lot different fun though last I've got me sneaky guy sneaky guy or nuts forgot with this overall I would say it was a very very successful testing day very very fortunate to have Tommy be able to drive the 350z so I just have endless practice follow laps that was very very very nice so the list of stuff to do tonight before we leave tomorrow for super d for the s13 we were going to redo the fuel lines but we're not gonna have time because i just don't think we were able to get the fittings in time so we rather wait and do it properly so I'm just going to run a little bit lower boost which is fine we got after redoing the exhaust hangers because keeps falling off I got to put a washer on the blow-off valve because it's kind of like surging and like kind of killing on decel which is like a pretty common problem Brennan's got a little shake so something's probably loose the plug for the water temp sensor I think might be loose because when you rev it it kind of like bounces all over the place I have to work with the rack because I think the rack isn't centered perfectly and it's bottoming out so I'm not getting full lock on one side which probably was contributing a little bit to why I was spinning out not my crappy driving ability just purely mechanical gotta put the coil pack cover on do a couple little adjustments with the front suspension stuff but overall it's just minor stuff today seemed to be a very successful testing that you a lot of fun driving car and I hope you guys do a footage I will see you tomorrow actually gonna make a little bit different video you guys that have been following me on like Twitter and Instagram might understand what's about to come but anyway take you nobody knowsdefinitely an exciting
