  1. 25% Tariffs Begin April 2nd

    %25 is a discount since most new cars increased in price over %30+ from 2020 to 2024. This is obviously a power play to force other countries hands to rethink their tariff policies against the US.
  2. My New Z Nismo's first track day!

    It fits in there perfectly, the camera is tiny, here are some examples. These are pictures of pictures, the actual resolution is a lot better. I'm at 8500 street miles and looks like %50 pad life left. This is cool as you can put the camera in through the spark plug hole and rotate it...
  3. My New Z Nismo's first track day!

    Agreed, its a pita as the bottom of the caliper is closed so you cant see the pads. I use this to check brake wear on everything, works great...
  4. Nismo Z Brake Pad Size?

    FYI, the SS lines seem to be the same for perf and Nismo, I have Z1 SS lines on my Nismo and they fit perfect.
  5. Another "Which oil for what type of use" thread

    I don't see why not, if you aren't getting the oil temps really high its not an issue. I also use the 5w40 in my Veloster and I track that car all the time so I always have it on hand. Its really the temperature that thins oil and breaks it down. I am due for oil service in about 1500 miles, I...
  6. Another "Which oil for what type of use" thread

    Depends on the ambient temp. My threshold is 160° and to get it above that on a 45° day it takes a good 15min of driving, on a 35° day its hard to get it above 160° at all. I'm sure it also has a downside on mpg but I would argue it has better protection at higher RPM and higher oil temps. I...
  7. Stillen TruControl

    I had a Vivid box on my 2018 911, I bought the car new and at that time tuning was a pain as you had to send the ECU out to get flashed. I had the Vivid box for 4 year without any issues and the car ran great with a very noticeable power difference. Definitely a great option for someone who...
  8. Another "Which oil for what type of use" thread

    I use 5W40 M1, I takes longer to warm up but I don't drive my Z in the winter anyway.
  9. WIll any generic cloneable TPMS sensor work?

    I've had mixed results with aftermarket TPMS sensors in the past. Sometimes the take a long time before they sync to the car, sometimes nothing at all and sometimes they work fine. Basically if you want OEM functionality buy the OEM sensors.
  10. 2023 steering

    I assume you had the alignment checked?
  11. Nismo Twin Disk clutch & flywheel

    Very nice, unsprung lightweight hub will make the gear changes super easy and quick. Would be curious the the overall weight difference between the OE and Nismo unit.
  12. CAMBER question with lowering springs

    You can set the alignment specs perfect on a static alignment rack but once the car is in motion and suspension is loaded all you setting go out the window depending on how soft the control arm bushings are. The Z had a massive rear bushing on the front lower control arm that has a lot of...
  13. What did you do with your Z today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

    Japanese car paint in general has always been pretty poor and thin. If you look at it wrong it will chip. I have 8k ( not daily driving ) miles on my car and 4 decent size chips in the front bumper, I just touch it up and forget about it. I only buy white cars so its very forgiving as far as...
  14. 2024 Nismo Z brake dust.

    Unfortunately the rock guards are one off D2M custom made. I made then out of some ABS sheet I had lying around. Yes they work great, absolutely no rock chips on the side skirts or quarter panels. With these types of cars self inflicted damage is a real thing, especially if you are running wheel...
  15. CAMBER question with lowering springs

    Dont overthink the wheel spacer thing. A 10-15mm spacer wont put any extra load on the wheel bearing. The worst thing you will notice is the added positive scrub radius and thats something you can get used to easily. You would be hard pressed to find a car at a track day not running some kind of...
  16. Performance Z Oil Change - BG MOA and BG 44K?

    Glad you asked. I was a BG dealer for about 10 years. All BG products are GREAT!! The 44K is like fuel injector cleaner on steroids and then on steroids again. Its kind of pointless on a new car however, its overkill. The best case use is for a high mileage used car that hasn't had the best...
  17. NOT GOING: VIR for the GT4 race July 17-20?

    I used to go to VIR once a year but these days I cant get away for that long anymore, NJMP is as far as I go now unfortunately.
  18. Analog instrument cluster??

    In all honesty this took me a while to get used to. Its a flat 2D panel so at a glance it was difficult for me to focus but after a few drives its a non issue, you will get used to it. With "analog" 3D gauge my eye would always fall right into focus at just a quick glance. Only part I don't...
  19. Oil temp warm up question.

    I always just wait until the cold start high idle drops before I start driving. I drive easy until the engine oil temp is around 150° then start pushing it a bit harder until the trans temp gets around 160°, once everything is up to operating temp I can go all out. With the Nismo you don't get...
