I actually have some paragon rotors for the Nismo fronts that have seen only one track weekend and a few weeks of daily driving before I went to the AP kit. You can message me if you're interested in buying them for a good discount off the new price
Yeah, the antigravity battery as well is a good one. The AP front brake kit definitely saved heaps as well. Those Akebono calipers are straight up bricks compared to the AP ones. I also took out the subwoofer because I'm going to VIR tomorrow but that's probably 10-15 pounds.
Honestly i'm...
Wondering about the surge tank used from Radium Engineering. Last I looked they didn't have anything for the new Z so I can only hope they'll be offering something soon.
I found that I needed a few inches more headroom when I wear a helmet for track days. I noticed this bracket under the seat looked like it had a lot of room underneath it so i found a metal fabrication shop in my area and they helped make a new one
So the first time I attempted to use the Nismo specific traction mode I messed up and was completely disabling it because I was pushing/holding the button twice after misreading the manual. I got a chance to actually try the nismo traction mode this past weekend. It's hard to do proper good...
I just changed my diff and transmission fluid and plan to send both off for analysis after doing my oil ~10k miles ago. Very interested to see what they say about the diff fluid seeing as it's gone over 300F on multiple track days since it was last changed
So it really depends on how you break it down. If you're just looking at the money to register for the event, this one was $679 for 2 days with 3.5 hours of potential total tracktime each day. The organization I've been driving with, Chin Track Days, is definitely one of the more expensive...
A lap from this past weekend. Finally getting comfortable with the Nismo traction control mode. Honestly I don't think I needed to wait quite as long as I did before trying it but I figure better safe than sorry with that one. I think i left it on for this lap/session since it was first one...
Track days 12-15 with a 3 day weekend starting at AMP and then over to Road Atlanta.
Quick front pad change. The carbotech pads were pre-bed, so no need to worry about bedding them in before taking them on track.
Terrible photo of that amazing Midnight Purple color
Wow I wish I read this thread last night. Was at CMP today and I finally felt confident to try driving without the Nismo traction mode but turns out I misread the manual and disabled everything. I was pushing it twice... I also didn't realize I still needed to disable the emergency braking...
Made it to CMP with the car still on the trailer and made a few Z friends. Also saw a GTD in person. I must have managed to get the worlds worst photo of it but they look absolutely insane in person. I really enjoyed the track. Has a very nice flow to it but I was getting some fuel starvation...
Honestly I tried to split my time with the Nismo. I estimated 5,000 miles a year when I first added it to my insurance. First I told myself only on the weekends, then it was every other day. Then I decided to stop rationing happiness and now I just drive it as much as I can :LOL: If I ever sell...
I'm on a one man mission to have the highest mileage Z Nismo on the planet and also it's easy when you live in Western North Carolina and your drive home from work looks like this
