I have a 2010 GTR and have done some track time in it as a completely stock car. I love how the car handles on the track. I was toying with the idea of getting a dedicated track vehicle (Cup Car, Spec Racer, etc), but have decided it more prudent to keep the GTR and upgrade it a little for the track. I live in Lake Tahoe and put Winter Blizzaks on my stock rims to use as a driver for winter. I will need a set of wheels and track tires to use the car at the track. We have several tracks within a few hours of us (Thunderhill, Laquna Seca, Reno/Fernley, Button Willow) and thank goodness there are several track days coming up.
I want to know your opinions on a good setup for the track for about 10K (give or take). I still use the car as a daily driver and will switch wheels at the track. I have a few ideas and would love some additional input.
1. Wheels; Go with 18 x 10.5 and Toyo or buy another set of stock wheels and Summer tires or other recommendations?
2. Titan Roll Bar
3. Two Four point harnesses (recommendations and cost please)
3. J Hook Rotors with Pagid or similar pads
4. Traqmate or other data logging
4. Willall fluids
Any other recommendations?
Next perhaps
1. KW Coil overs
2. Stillen sway bars
3. Cobb Access Port and a tune (not sure as I will be doing track time and hear that the car is under a lot of stress stock as is and a tune could be to much?)
4. Down pipes (see above)
FYI, I am strictly a road course guy (not a 1/4 mi guy, but still love the acceleration), all advise appreciated.
Does anyone know the best shops close to either Reno or Sacramento do do some of the work?
I only keep my cars for a couple of years at most and wounder how these upgrades will effect resale (improve or decrease resale value), should I remove and just resell the parts (most of these are bolt on) when I am about to sell my car?
Thanks
