Sorry, had to haha.

I'd start with tires and brakes. It's a lot more fun when your weak point is power, that way you can really get to the limit without things getting too out of hand. Since the z33 isn't a small car, definitely get dedicated track pads (Carbotech, Porterfield, etc), good fluid, and good tires (Toyo RA1's). I ran into brake fade at the track last weekend, part of it was fluid boiling but I didn't do anything for brake ducting so that could have been it too.

Basically, overbuild tires and brakes, then start doing other things.
