The Official 370Z Autocross Thread

Good stuff. Hoosiers, if they're new are probably good for about 1-2 seconds so you really aren't that far behind the front runner there. Keep it up, there's definitely no replacement for good quality seat time in any type of motorsports.

On another topic, anyone had any luck finding a good lightweight alternative to the stock wheel? I was thinking the Nismo wheels might be a good option but I haven't found any official weight, or cost, on those.

i've looked into this as well. nismo wheel was the only stock-legal wheel i could find. Scott@FontanaNissan can't get 'em right now, since they're on backorder. i've seen 'em go as cheap as 2k on ebay, though. and if you're local to matteson, il - there's a pick-up only, no-reserve auction that ends in a little over 2 days:
19" 370Z Genuine Nismo Forged alloy wheels:eBay Motors (item 270440985956 end time Aug-20-09 08:14:40 PDT)

and another with a buy-it-now of $2300:

at this point, you're probably better off buying a set of sport pkg wheels for half that price.

I just finished running my first ever autocross here is CO. I was able to improve 2 seconds per run so things were heading in the right direction. The car is more than I can handle at this point so I will be working on my driving skills.
People were very excited to see a 370Z at the event. I just wish I could have done it justice.
FYI, I ran the indexed AT-street tires class.
