Oil Cooler (Modshack DIY): $300
Carbotech XP8 Brake Pads: $330
Motul RBF 600 Brake Fluid: $40
RE-11 Tires 245/45/18 F and 275/40/18 R: $1350 shipped/mounted/balanced

Total: $2120

I hope that helps anyone else with a base Z who is interested in tracking their car. Though it would be only be like ~$650 if you already have some summer tires.

Will start buying this stuff once I start my new job after graduation.

damn dude, good luck bro... let me just sit in the passenger seat, just so I can see how the experience is, and if I truly wanna invest that kinda money into my Z.

Sorry, my passenger seat will be occupied by the instructor. You'll have to find someone far more experienced than me for that. You should come Autocrossing with me next time I go, I think you'll like it. It's only like $40 and is much less intense than driving on a road course.

That sounds cool. I might be down for that.

He cant - only an instructor/advanced students will be able to give a ride-along, likely. So if he lets the instructor borrow his car, that might happen :-p

I want to let the instructor drive my car for a bit, with me in the passenger seat, just to see what my car is capable of.

99% of the time, they will offer to do that. Usually the first chance they can for one of their sessions, they will ask to take your car out.

Pfft just let me drive your car on the street and I'll show you what it's capable of... in the back alley behind Starbucks.
