I mean, I chose a Z, so obviously there are considerations other than just “fastest car”. I’m just saying, calling a car that dog walks the Z a “pile of shit” is… an interesting take.

More sports cars is always a good thing. I don't understand the hate. The latest Camaro outperforms the Z in every measurable metric. It's not 1993 anymore. A ten year old SS has a faster Lightning Lap time than a current model year Nismo Z. Oof. The ZL1 outperforms a GT-R NIsmo for half the...

Good to hear there are others seeing drops in temperature after similar mods. I guess I should just be happy the cooling system is working so well. I will definitely appreciate it when it gets balls hot here soon.

That hole leads directly to the turbo compressor outlet. I guess all’s well that ends well, but I don’t think I would have been brave enough to hit that start button!

That's a good idea, I'll check the temp of the oil filter the next time I drive it and report back!

Wait, what?! lol You dropped a plastic cap into your intake tube and just let it ride? That's zen af. :crackup:

Reiterating what's already been said, at least just getting the hatch area done is a huge improvement and only ~2 hours of work. I went with a single layer of Dynamat, followed by two layers of CCF. Road and exhaust noise from the rear was drastically reduced and my audio system sounds better...

Agreed, 29F is low, but… …I am seeing very different results than FSUZ33 in the 40s. My last pic is at 44°. No matter how long I drive, I’m not getting into the 180-190 range. A 30° difference with the same operating conditions seems substantial. I’m sure it won’t be an issue as the temps...

Anybody else experiencing this? Conventional wisdom is that we should let the oil warm up to at least 170° before heavy throttle. However, my oil temps will not reach that point, regardless of driving conditions, city or highway. Ambient temps have been low, so that’s obviously a contributing...

Edit: Never mind!

Before I decided to stay OEM+, I had made my mind up on the RPF1 in a non-rotatable square fitment. If you combine an RPF1 front with an RPF1RS rear, you can get some interesting combinations. Everything from mild to aggressive, 9.5", 10", or 10.5".

A twisting motion helped me "break the seal" of the hose, then it was a little easier to pull it out a mm at a time. It might help to hit a Q-Tip with some WD-40 and then rub a small amount around the edge where the hose meets the pipe, try to work it in. Then continue the twisting back and...

I feel like some people might be conflating “tiny performance hit” with “catastrophic engine failure”. No one is saying your engine is going to blow up if you don’t get a catch can.

Every single product of engineering is an amalgamation of compromises. When we mod our cars, it’s because our goals do not align with the quality, performance, comfort, or regulatory compromises the engineers were forced to make. In the case of your TruControl, you are more interested in cheap...

Don’t you have a TruControl? You should let the Nissan engineers know they got their mapping wrong.

I honestly really like the sport wheels a lot! But in my case they matched the Gun Metallic paint color almost exactly and I prefer to have contrast with my wheels. If I had ended up with any other color, I’d probably still be rocking them. They look really good on your red!

Dipped the Nismo LM-RS6 wheels. Black is boring! Before, about to clean and prep: Protecting my baby: After the four tack coats: After the wet coats: The satisfying part: Tires fully wiped down: Results:

Decided to dip the wheels silver since most wheels are black these days and it’s not really my thing. It’s crazy that 90% of wheels only come in dark colors anymore. I was planning on powder coating them, but I figured I’d try the dip first to make sure I like it. They definitely pop now, and...

Added the Z32 twin turbo decal tonight.

I found this video very helpful when I needed to pull my rear interior. It’s a 370Z, but all of the rear pieces are the same.
