I'm looking at the Rays Nismo 57CR wheels for my Z. Z1 recommends 19x9.5 +25 in the front and a 19x10.5 +12 in the rear but I don't know what size tire to get so there's no stretching and no rubbing on the fenders. I tried to use this site willtheyfit.com but I can't find the Performance wheel...
When I went the Lime Rock after each hot session I had to deflate the tires back to 32/29. I did notice that the left tires were inflating 3psi more than the right, since Lime Rock is mostly right turns, load goes to the left tires. Next time I go I want to try offsetting the pressure before...
I've been placing the jack puck just inside the pinch weld mark on a flatter surface of the frame. For the stands I've been placing them right on the pinch weld.
When I first got my Z I noticed some metal buzzing when the exhaust was cold, before installing the diff brace. I'd check for any loose bolts/nuts or connections.
When I go to big Z meets, I see the generations of people and the Z's they have. Younger people 20s-30s usually have 350/370s with some 300s here and there. 40-50s have Z's from the 80's and early 90's Then the real old timers have the 1970s Z's. Of course there are exceptions but just what...
Pay attention to how you enter and exit the car. I had a scratch on my wheel on the lower left side of the wheel. I noticed it lines up perfectly to where my hips cross as I get out of the car.
I hope no one is trying to drive an AT on the track without using the paddles in manual mode. In auto mode the 9AT is made for street (even then it can get a little annoying).
If this is true then all the Z's that are using the F0E filters that according to Nissan is the wrong filter should be having issues right? Also that's the filter Z1 sends in their oil change kits.
Too late already used F0E on the Z. The longer filter went to the Murano as it already had a longer filter from a previous oil change at a shop. I guess Z1 put my phone call to them into consideration when packing my order.
I agree but there's always wiggle room between manufacturer's recommend and what actually works.
For example:
Motherboard and RAM. If you build systems then you know about the "compatible memory" list. According to them only those modules will work. But we all know that's not true since all...
I just ordered two oil change kits from z1 that include 6qts of OEM nissan oil, filter, and crush washer. I received two different filters, the 65F0E and the 9E01A. Now considering these are sold for the new Z, not sure why Z1 decided "Ah whatever the filters are the same one is longer...
My nephew manages several of his dad's autoshops and he told me some of the newer Mercedes auto trans don't need fluid changes. The Performance 9-speed is a Mercedes trans.
