Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Would I be crazy to track my stock 135K mile Z?

I have a sport package Z with 135k on it. Only mods are Powertrix coils. It's all stock otherwise. No oil cooler, and pretty sure it's original clutch too, the csc was replaced 100K miles ago.

This would be a bad idea to go out to Laguna Seca without doing anything right? I would limit the car to 6 or 6.5k RPMs and not money shift every gear lol.

If every 3rd lap is a cooldown to get temps back down I'd be okay with it. Mainly worried about temps and probably more concerned about that clutch and the csc saying NOPE after a session or two.

If i had a decent clutch and upgraded csc and an oil cooler i would say heck to the yes, but what do you guys think? I'm sure some of have had stock clutch issues on the track. Don't feel like spending 1,500 on a cooler and clutch for possibly just one or two track days on a such a high mileage car
