I’ve opened up my front nismo bumper and built air dam in front my intercooler to direct all incoming air towards intercooler/radiator. After this last track day I noticed huge improvement with it. 20min session needed one slower pace lap towards end of the session to cool down the temps and then finishing off with one or 2 hot laps. With this cooling mod and stoptech bbk, 80F ambient temp, this one was one of my most enjoyable track day i think I ever had. I have 2 day event with TrackXperienZ following week so possibly I’ll sign up for one day with nasa.
Here’s the picture of my air dam.

Not sure why people think 230 F is excessive coolant temp for a VQ on the track. It's normal.
