Base 370z to track ready

[mdxj]

Here is how she sits at the moment but I am currently in the process of ordering a decent amount of parts so it will be ready for the track. I won't be doing any wheel to wheel racing with it but there will be doing a lot of autox and HST. Current list of parts:
1) AP racing 6pot front and 4pot rears w/ red calipers
2) 18x9.5 et27 or 18x10.5 et 30 F and 18x10.5 et30 R Enkei NT30M in F1 Silver
3) 265/40 or 295/30 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's up front, 295/35 PS2's in the rear. Thinking about going with a square set up but I need these options to be steet-able until I can afford another set of wheels. The base wheels will clear the AP's but I am not a fan of how they look. I can always run them just with a wider tire.
4) Swift Springs and camber arms
5) F.I CBE with 12" resonators

Brakes will be ordered by the middle of the month and wheels/tires the following month. Everything else will be later on, just not sure when. The only part for the track that has been added is a Z1 34 row oil cooler. TWM A6 Leopard shift knob and JDM fog light have also been added. The shift knob has been raised since it sat way too low but I don't have a pic of that yet. I can't wait to start getting all these parts in and I will be taking 2 weeks off, have a lot of leave saved up, to do nothing but get everything installed.


Oil Cooler install with new floor jack. It's just a Harbor Freight 3 ton racing jack but it works really well. The engine cover was painted and it took a full weekend but turned out great and is still holding up. I used several coats of adhesion promoter, several coats of red auto paint and several coats of clear.







I was using craftsman 4 ton highlift jackstands and jackstand pads to protect the pinch weld. They work really well and the jackstands can be left in their lowest setting yet still allow me to slide under on a gurney.

Fog light, that's a '71 MG B to the right. It belongs to my roommate and he recently added a '70 Porsche 914 2.0L as the next project. I used simota1's DIY for the light. We actually had a blacked out smart car with a raspy exhaust try and race us one day... it was really funny.



I can't wait to see how it turns out.
