Holy C63, GTR, 370Z!!!!!! Amazing! I don't think I've seen anyone put the wing on before installing the rest of the kit, looks great and the tint is gonna go good as well. Gotta see more

Thank you man!

The tint guy told me that he needs 2 days to wrap everything, so it didn't happen.

- Gas cap has much darker color than the rest of the car. Nissan always provides horrible paint job according to my experience. I could cut the paint off on my GTR with my nail. WTF

- The whole spare tire thing weighted at 44 lbs.

Car is pretty much complete for now. Still waiting for more performance parts to come in. Can't wait to take it to the track.

First track day at Big Willow. I managed a lap time of 1:36. I could push the car a bit harder if my didn't have rear spacers. I think 1:34 is capable for the stock form.

pros:
- Z1 coolers.
They worked like magic!
- Sport BBK and Endless MX72 pads
Very good.
- Chassis
From the stock form, the car is a bit under during high speed cornering and very stable during any type of turns. The only downside is a bit more body roll. I'm sure camber and front sway bar can get all these fixed. One of the best chassis out of the box.

cons:
- auto tranny.
The tranny is no good for racing. It wouldn't shift when the car is corning, or braking. The only way you can down shifting is when you doing northing with the car. SUCKS!!! Hopefully someone come out with some tranny software tuning.
- H&R rear spacers.
The worst product and the biggest mistake I ever made. They kept losing for entire day. I could drive more than 2 laps and came to the pit to re-torque them.
- RE050A pole position
These tires are OK, the grip is actually good. However, they can't handle heat. Normally 3 laps is OK, after that, they start to get slippery.
- Top end power delivery
The power is great in first 4th gears, but 5th gear and above has no power at all. I was doing 106-110 mph when exiting turn 9 at Big Willow, at the end of the long straight away, I could only get the car up to 122-123 mph range. WTF.

UPDATED with lap time sheet. Forget the list of the car, I was originally signed up both days for my M3, but unfortunately the M3 had technical issue on Sat. so I had to take the M3 back and drove the Z on Sun.

Great write up! I have a long way to go before I can do anything close to a 1:36. I know where I can push the car more but I need to develop a better feel for the car before I can move away from my comfort zone. It's too bad the auto tranny doesn't perform well under track conditions, yes the understeer is pretty horrid during high speed corning. When it starts to happen I always feel like the grip is going to break away.
1:36 is great time I'm sure you'll get faster with your Z the more you start dialing in the car. Can't wait to see what you do at Buttonwillow
