Hello, before I begin I want to say please don't start a war I just wanted what you guys think and what advice would you give me?

I want to start doing a little track racing, something to do on the weekends once a month or so. However I don't really have a huge budget to begin with my budget would be nothing more then $10000, and I know that isn't a hole lot. Here is my question to you guys. I do have a 07 G35 coupe 6MT and I am willing to give up a lot for this car to become a track car, however it will be my only DD. Or spend the 10K on another car and keep the G stock as my DD I want your help and advice. What would you guys recommend??? Buying something like a 240? or making my G a track car????

Thank you all and have a great weekend

 

What kind of track racing? 1/4 mile or road racing? Have you ever road raced before? You don't have to have an insanely fast car to have fun. Throw on some food breaks and basic bolt on mods and go race and see how much fun have'

 

Road racing I have goes a few times with a shop near my house drove a 240 with a RB26 making about 460WHP

 

i have the same question guys I have 04 G coupe 6speed and my DD and weekend toy but i wanna make my car run at least 13.3-13.5 so what mods do you guys recomend? I wanna stay N/A

 

If you're on a budget.. keep the G35 as a DD and pick up a Miata for the track. That's what I did anyways.

Tires/brakes/wheels/maintenance is much cheaper on the Miata.

 

Bolt-ons, tune, gears, DR's, slight weight reduction, low DA and most importantly, seat time. Times will always vary from track to track and from day to day.

 

Where are you located? Various clubs (NOT SCCA) around the country do driving schools and time trials (attack). If you are in the Northeast I'll be glad to send you more info.

 

- coilovers
- front and rear camber kit
- adjustable swaybars and endlinks
- full set of poly bushings
- full set of chassis bracing
- extra set of light weight 18" wheels w/sticky tires
- 2pc rotors
- Stainless steel lines
- DOT 4 brake fluid
- performance brake pads
- brake ducts & ducting
- oil cooler
- MREV2 +tune

this should all be within your budget, depending on labor costs(a lot of easy DIY though) and keep your car DD-able

 

^I'm in the northeast and would be interested. Thanks.

 

I am wanting to start open track days with my G35 this summer... Looks like a blast. I am planning to do it as the car sits. Tein 350z h techs is my only suspension mod. I might even take my Mustang a few times this summer...

 

true, true....I will take that adive good lookin' out Jairen

 

What about headers hfc?

 

Rubbing is racing... What u gona do if u swap paint with another car on your DD? U can get an RB powered 240 for less than 10k....

 

This is my other option a 240 with a RB

 

For the first time I go what brake pads would you recommend???? almost bone stock just want to change my pads and maybe some Agency power brake lines anything else????
