I guess it's all in how you justify it. I was looking into just upgrading the pads and getting some better rotors. Are you running skinny's? Drag racing for this car is def. an up hill battle and not many people have experience in it with this particular car. I hear what your saying there are so many factors I have to look at and honestly it sucks. The Driveshaft Shop | NISSAN 2009- 370Z / G37 1200HP Pro-Level Axles - 370Z / G37 - Nissan - Import Axles
This is what I am currently looking into but this is overkill. I am waiting on my sisters bf to tell me if the rim itself is bent as there was some wobble when I had the car up on jacks letting it spin freely. Thank you for the reply
For 3 years I raced with completely stock rear with 3:90 gears. The last 2 years of that was with Hoosier slicks & skinnies in the front but the car was N/A & mostly stock. It took me many months to learn how to use/take advantage of the slicks. Considering that I used stock intakes & even the muffler/exhaust, I did extremely good times.
A few months ago I bought from this site a whole STOCK 4:08 set up. It was available close to my house, good price & my rpm at the finish line showed me that I needed them. The result was that my 1/4 mile times gained a tenth & quicker 60' times. Out of the last apx. 15 run(3 times at track) apx. 12 were in the 12.4's with 12.419 best. All those 12.4's were with 1.6 60' times. That was with ALL factory stock rear parts & O breakage, nothing. However I had to use the water & brake lock to spin/heat up the tires. My thoughts are, why change things if everything works fine. Also modding may never end, so I started racing/getting experience & having fun before I did all the mods(which were a few.
So you can add everything then race, or race after doing some mods & see the results & have fun & get experience. Make sense?
