Adding an oil cooler adds material and labor costs to production. Changing the brake lines and fluids only adds material cost, not labor.

Adding a telescope wheel is probably a big engineering change which would effect many other components, so that's another matter.

SS lines to avoid flex, motul rbf600 (higher boiling point than stock), Nismo pads are not that great, for track use I'd go with XP10s or 8s. People tend to confuse brake fade with "ice mode" which is caused by the ABS system and the Z is not the only sports car that suffers from it.

Totally unrelated note, Mike I got the wheel decals, thanks!!

Do we really need another fracking brake pad/fluid thread?

At least the oil cooler has something to do with 2012 changes.

You are absolutely right. I think the difference is that the brake thing doesn't have 20,000 threads and 10,000 sticky's about it. Not to mention, an OEM option that only costs $500 to fix if you track your car.

Again, I agree. Better yet, no price increase either.

I tend to agree... Pads and fluid are step one. Next step involves hacking holes and fabricating duct-work.

I'm just kind of pissed I don't have an oil cooler so I can cruise 60 in 5th gear before I finally get a chance to blow around some moron hogging the left lane when it's 105 degrees out.
