as the guy who does most of the noise testing at Ruapuna i'm going to have a guess that the exhaust you've built there will give you one lap before we tell you to quieten it before doing lap 2
plus the body exiting issue as mentioned

i'd start with the springs and see where the alignment ends up but if it does go out of spec, rather than camber arms you might get away with eccentric bushes like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Superpro-Camber-Toe-Adjustment-Kit-KIT148K-fits-Nissan-370-Z-3-7/162707038252?epid=1144305027&hash=it...

why did they ruin it with that ugly widebody?
and seeing 3.8 engine you'd think if its a genuine 380RS they'd be advertising it as one

seller doesn't know what he has. I'd be staying clear unless it was dirt cheap, which is isn't
pretty common for people to see a sticker on their car and think its something great

yeah surely its just forgot to put it on the plate?

i was amazed to pass first go, i was honest about the fact that it had quite a bit of toe and he didn't seem to care

i'm confused
when you buy a 350/370z surely you look at its lack of turbo and have one of 2 plans:
1 - keep the power level relatively standard and be happy with what its got, knowing that small mods wont have the power increases of a turbo car
2 - be willing to spend $10-20k+ on go fast bits

tyres would make the biggest change, if you can get a 2nd set of wheels with good semi slicks on for track use that would make a much bigger difference than anything else

but then your brakes will be worse, get some good high temp race pads and fluid is a good start
