In that case, you will be absolutely fine just leaving the car stock for now. You will only be on track for close to 20 mins and not driving the car that hard.
Hopefully, you will enjoy it and end up coming back for a full weekend. There are not many 350Z's at track events in the Mid-Atlantic region, so it would be great to see another

Getting more involved in track days is definite plan for my future. I think once the car is paid off, it will see more track prep.

I'm going to do my best to resist buying a second car for a whole year after I pay off the G35, that way I can use my car payment money Im already comfortable spending towards car prep and set up. Then I'll get a second car after about a year for my daily commute and start stripping the hefty G35. We'll see, i'm sure it will all just be a big pipe dream for me.

I hear you, but I wouldnt mind having the car a little more prepped just in case I try another track event later in the year. The hyperdrive will be both a car and driver evaluation experiment.

I did this 40 dollar mod and it has worked AMAZING!

Great mod, and a hell of a lot cheaper than Stillen or Nismo. Thanks Jason.

P.S. You got any news on that DFW tech day. I've got some things to attend to on the Zed.
