I doubt Nissan's marketing intent is to promot the Nismo as being track-ready...maybe track oriented...but not track-ready.

I can't imagine the idea of taking a stock nismo and hitting a track with it, and expect it to hold up.

Brakes, diff cooler, oil cooler, maybe a transcooler - at the very least.

One day I'll track my Z, but, I certainly won't be pushing the limits of the car, as my limits are much more conservative - I don't want to risk out out of pocket potentials...

I would however, like to go fast and take some hard corners in a legal environment...as long as there is minimal risk if I lose it and end up "4x4ing" my Z.
