not as extensive as you track car only guys, but before my next track day which is about 5 weeks from now I have to do the following.

-change oil/filter
-change coolant
-change brake fluid
-change pads (F/R)
-install oil cooler
-install brake ducts
-remount oil temp sensor location

I think that's all for now.

Good to know. I'm planning to run an oil cooler and a Oil.temp sensor. I will have to look into this option as well

I may have to add this to my list as well. I know we only have the 3 bolts on each side and the plastic rivets, but it's always a hassle. I've been looking into these..looks easy enough

For the 370Z:
rebuild calipers
reinstall stock seat belts
raise the car
wheel repair & re-striping

For the new race car:
cage prep/strip interior and remove sound deadening
decide on seat and other safety gear
repair/replace bent rear rpf1
replace bent power steering pully
replace power steering line
replace front core support, radiator, fenders and other bodywork

probably a little later:
swap koni's for spec z suspension
pull motordyne plenum spacer

A picture might do more for the 350Z:

So far I've got the AC nearly all out and just need to get the rest of the parts I need to put 'er back together.
