That shifter setup look beautiful!! 

 

Surprised you got out of 2nd gear on that karting track, good going.

 

Any pictures of your mates red 350z?

4.08 final gear magic. Most of the racing track in Poland unfortunately look like this and shorter final gear was essential for me to stop using 1st gear while racing - you have to compensate with gears for such lack of power

 

Also as requested more pictures of my friends 350Z Nismo - we do a lot of racing together and his Zee is also nicely modified - Tomei exhaust, KW Clubsport, Nismo LSD, Recaro CS and so on.

This is absolutely incredible 

 

Do you have any more info on your brake cooling set up? And did the titanium shims make much to difference?

 

Also are you running the stock nismo rear arb along with the hotchkis front bar? 

 Thank you

 

As requested more pictures of brake cooling kit. It it fully custom design, but proved to be highly effective on the race track. 

 

 

Titanium brake pads shrims - they are suppose to reduce temps of brake fluid and to protect the brake calipers from high temperature. So far I think they have been working out pretty well. My brake calipers are in great condition and never really overheated my brake fluid yet on this set up.

 

Also concerning swaybars -  hotchicks front, stock nismo rear. I read on forums that people enjoy this combination, so I gave it a shot with only stiff front, loved it straight away and never felt the need to stiffen up the rear. I think stiffer sway bar at the rear could make the experience worse 

 

10W60 works best for me. I know it is a controversial matter around here but I have tested 10W60 since my first ever oil change after 1000 km from dealership and now after over 100k km of millage and regular track beatings, my engine is in beautiful shape and has absolutely no signs of premature wear (it was opened up recently). People driving hard on factory 5w30 (and way too long oil change intervals) are the key reason why you get all of those blown engine stories. Even with 34 row oil cooler VQ engines are running extremely hot and thick engine oil is crucial to protect enginie components at high temps. 

I thought about doing this a long time ago, but never had the time to write a actual post. However, at the suggestion of others I figured why not.
