HPDE Time and I need someone to check my sanity...

osbornsm

Okay I have a 370z w/ Sport Package and the mods listed in my sig. I'd like to run a HPDE which i have done 20-30 times in the past in my VW. Now that i have the 370, I'd like to see if I'm missing any modifications that might be required to perform a safe track day.

• Z1 19 Row Oil Cooler Kit (would you go for the 25 row kit?)
• Carbotech XP8 pads on the front only (are rears necessary?)
• Motul RBF600 Fluid
• Goodridge SS Brake Lines
• 2x 5 gallon gas cans for stupid fuel starvation
• Helmet SA2005+

Let me know if i missed anything!!

Save the brake line money and move it toward rear pads to be safe. I would go for the 25 if you plan to do any tracks at over 80F ambient temp

You've got it covered- I have 19 row and worked fine last summer in NJMP.

First few times always felt I woudl forget something and need it in the paddock - so I put together a list (below) and go thru it a couple days before leaving for the track day. So far it worked for me and I don't keep thinking what did I forget this time.

Pre track

 General safety check, all fluids, leaks, tightness, intake, exhaust, brakes, brake lines,tires, under car check, any changes
 Change to Race Pads- torque rims
 Empty car- mats out
 Wax doors - easy # removal
 Check Tire Pressure

Car gear

Nice list!

I think XP8's on just the front are fine. Then by the time you wear those out and feel more comfortable pushing the Z harder, you'll might want to go for XP10's in front and XP8's in back. There's a lot of info in the track section here too.
