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!!
