May want to upgrade struts to match the springs, and throw in adjustable camber/caster pieces and an alignment with that, without a decent alignment new suspension isn't going to be worth near what you payed for. It builds up quick

I'll be doing the work my self.

I like the idea of an oil cooler, links or brand plz.
I will most likely wait for Clutch/flywheel combo since I have such low mileage and it's such an involved install.
More info on tilton slave plz.

Ok for fluids and oil coolers try Z1!

I recommend use redline 5w 30 synthetic oil for your engine.
Redline MT-85 for manual tranny and redline differential fluid.
Read T can recommend other brand. Motul is also a good brand.
Z1 oil coolers is more than adequate it has the setrab core.

I have a 25r z1 oil cooler and run redline fluids, and PFC clutch/brake fluid. If you track it you will probably spend ~500 on registration for a weekend, ~200 for pads, ~200 for rotors.

GTR fluid is good, but I wouldn't track on it. Plus before you go to any track you'll want to change for fresh fluid anyways.

All these people posting and you're the first to suggest the best first mod.. I second the oil cooler.

Our Z's csc is susceptible to failure. The Tilton slave is among a few upgrades out there. This plus a clutch/flywheel set can be had for about 1400 at Specialty Z.

There are other options out there than the Specialty Z that are just as good and cost less. Look at Zspeed. It's what I would have done if I had to do it all over again.
JARblue and axmea? like this.
