I got the Greddy RS exhaust as a replacement to the heavy HKS dual installed. It is much lighter, but sounds like a typical single exhaust. I'm fine with the noise for how little I drive it, but I don't think I could daily a car this loud. Like the HKS, it was too short for the Nismo bumper, so I ordered a longer tip from Greddy and am fine with how it sits:

I got the car corner balanced and track aligned at SPS Performance in St. Louis. Car feels very planted in the back roads, and should be ready for the track:

I went ahead and swapped out the OEM radio with a new Alpine unit, as well as got a Z1 shift knob installed. I managed to get the OEM knob out undamaged, so I can swap it back when it's time to sell:
I have my first track day scheduled for this month at WWT Raceway, so I got some Carbotech brake pads ready to swap in before the event. Very excited to see how the Z performs.
With that said, I'm still planning on getting the new Supra on its last year of ICE production, which rumors are saying could be 2024. I'll be keeping the Z how it is now, just enjoying it on nice days and track events when I can until it's time to sell. It's been a fun car to work on, and hopefully a great track car too.
