BTW, shado, in 2010 I managed with HPS pads on my Z, but wasn't going as fast. So they might be fine for you... might not. If anything get something better on there for the feel alone.

I just know for me considering I set some Ferodos on fire last year, I need more than HPS.

Even if I had the oil cooler in hand, no way I would get it done before the Hyperdrive. I am finding that while it is great I am saving alot of labor costs by doing stuff myself, it is very slow going getting stuff done. Free time to **** around with the car comes in way smaller chunks than I would like, plus I am no mechanic so I am extra anal slow about what I do get done.

I want an oil cooler, but not for track use, I see myself going back to FL eventually, I'd need it for the hot & humid temperatures.

So dont drive at the limit, problem solved. Nobody is going to push you past there, including your instructor. Drive like a granny for all he cares, all they want you to do is leave the track with knowledge gained.

When is the next time you're going, I'd like to tag-a-long and see what it's like from someone (you) who's done it before, and get some off track knowledge before doing it myself.

You're going to the track to learn a lot things, including: Proper car control (hand placement, instinctual countersteering, anticipating weight shift under braking/acceleration, etc) Brake/throttle modulation in concert with steering Situational awareness (flag stands, cars around you, etc) Beginner racecraft (apexing, entering/exiting a corners of different types, etc) ...and so on, so forth. Finding "the limit" is something that happens while doing any of the above. All of those take PATIENCE and practice. If you think you are the next Ayrton Senna and try to act like that, it WILL bite you. Ask my last instructor at Summit Point - the last (and only other) 370Z he was with at that track, was a NISMO. The guy totalled it his VERY FIRST SESSION.
