Noobie here, few questions as this topic intersts me. Maybe should take part of it to another thread, but:
To OP: On a quarter mile run using a 6 spd M, can you give me a low down on where the "correct" shift points are on the different gears. I keep getting answers from shift to second at 3500 RPM, shift at redline for every gear,etc. Maybe it is a completely individual thing and tied to your specific car/style. but I have to believe there is some consensus on the stock gearing of the 370Z that there ideal shift points at certain RPM's. I have only owned this car for 1 week so still sort of learning it and have not been to the track at all.
Also, I never see anyone that seems to use > 275 mm tires on the rear of the Z. I bought mine with 285's on it. The foose wheels that are on it are I think actually for a mustang. Is there much difference?
I too am looking at putting some trackable 18's on my car. I feel the 19" foose's are mainly a show tire. Can someone recommend me a good 18" setup/brand purely for track. I'm pretty decent with tires, but I fail @ wheels.
