Fun video, and glad to see you (and others) using the Zs for fun. If you'll allow, I had a few comments:
- Quaife diff? Where's the lock set? It sounds like it is one-wheeling, and I was going to suggest you get an aftermarket diff until I reread your post that you had a Quaife
- Harnesses - what are they attached to? They look like they run for a foot or more before the seat (I see your comment, but they still look a mile away)
- I see no need to use 1st gear. Get into 2nd before the first steering input is needed, as slamming the gas in first only loses time while you make the 1/2 transition.
- Hand placement - try the 10 and 2 position with the slide-the-wheel technique. That allows you to always be able to make corrections, rather than having your arms completely crossed and unable to correct (like at 1:45 in your video)

He drove the car way too hard though in my opinion. Way too much sliding, especially for an awd car. Maybe I drive like a woman haha.

Sorry bout the 20's haters.
Axis Super Penta x9.5/x10.5 orange pin stripe
255/35/20 - 285/30/20
Contemplating 295/30/20 rears after my fender roller comes and I figure out if I can make it work with reasonable camber and still be able to drive it hard.
I know the rears need some offset taken out too. Work in progress.
