Help: How to be track ready for G37 noob.
 
Just got invited for tack day with a instructor. Which I'm , :excited: but don't know if the car is ready. Know this isn't a 370z, but I'm looking for most feedback I can.

36k mile
500whp Stock block
Stock trans
Stock shocks
Stock rear end

akebono brake
Energy rear end bushing
Tien Spring kit
SPC front/rear camber arms
OS Giken Twin disk clutch and flywheel,
GTM HD centric slave cylinder



Was suggested harness bar with 4 point attachments.

Any upgrades or ideas?

When you say stock trans does that include the clutch?

Oil cooler, good (high temp) brake pads and Motul 600 fluid.

Bring an economy sized bucket of humility. Every time I ride with a pro I learn how far I am from being a good driver.

4 point? I thought it was 5/6 point (with appropriate roll cage) or stock belts. 4 points are dangerous, right?

Agree, stay the hell away from 4 points. Your OEM 3 point and air bag is safer imo. A girl wearing a 4 point died last year at a track I frequent from "submarining" under her 4 point. Not even sure why they exist.
