That’s pretty good. Time wise, that’s about nine or 10 track days for me, which is awesome. I tend to get between 5 to 6 days on my stock tires. Also, the last time I came home, it was a torrential downpour, and I have about three days of track time on my tires, and I was hydroplaning like...

On average, how many track days do you get out of them?

I'm pretty happy with the Stock Dunlop tires. The dry grip seems pretty solid! Take a look at the G meter from my track day 2 weeks ago. All that said, I'm considering trying the Advan 09's to maybe get a tire that lasts a little longer

I like that they last twice as long as the stock pads. I was only getting 2 track days out of the stock pads. I get 5 days out of the XP-8's. They have a good bite, and don't fade. The downside is that they get noisy for street use sometimes. I don't mind because I expect that out of...

The only mods I've done were better brake pads (Carbotech XP-8), and better brake fluid (Motul RBF660). As is, it really does well on the track. I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible because I drive it to and from the track, and I also use it as my daily driver. I think for my next set of...

Welcome! I am 1/2 way out on Long Island, and I've only seen 1 other Nismo in the past 2 1/2 years! I go to Monticello all the time, maybe I'll see you there some time! I also go to NY Safety track (I was there about a week ago), we also like to go to Thompson, and Palmer. I usually join Mass...

How did you like the results of turning the ASC & ANC off?

If I'm correct, the sport model comes without an LSD, and the factory uses synthetic fluid. The Performance and the Nismo have an LSD and they use conventional oil. I'm guessing that the LSD will chatter if the wrong stuff is used. Maybe a synthetic can be used with a friction modifier, but I...

How many miles did you change yours at, each time you did it? And, how did the second time compare to the first?

I just changed the differential fluid at 6,000 miles. It was WAY dirtier than I expected. There were also way more particles on the magnetic drain plug than I expected. I wish I did it sooner, but I didn't think it would be so bad. I recommend that everyone does this on their car. I'm sure...

I remember clearly. I actually bought one to track it. I broke it in, then started doing research for brakes, etc. During the process of researching, I realized that if the car made long high G, sweeping right turns, the oil pressure would drop! It wasn't as simple as a baffled oil pain to...

Thank you! I do have the owner's manual, but it’s the USA Manual, and it doesn’t have the chart with the different viscosities, it only lists 0w-20 oil. I wanted to see what the approved viscosities for the engine was, other than the 0-20. I didn't want to see the oil recommendations based on...

Thanks guys, but I wanted to see one specifically in Australia. I know the USA ones request 0w-20. I wanted to see the wording in the Australian manual, because I have heard rumors that it's different, and wanted to see it exactly how it's written. Anyone here with an Australian owner's...

Can somebody do me a huge favor, and post a picture of the page in the owner's manual, that shows the engine oil weight recommendations?

Thanks, and yes, I do a lot of track days. Zero problems so far (knock on wood) It's 100% stock other than brake fluid and brake pads. It is a very capable car out of the box. If you put in "traction" mode, it won't do anything unexpected, and rotates nicely. Keep in mind, it's a rear wheel...

Toy on our side of the earth refers to buying something that you don't actually "need", but bought it because it's fun to play with and enjoy playing with it. Every car I own is a toy. For actual transportation, I steal one of my wife's cars, lol You are not completely wrong though, because...

Yes I know it's not the case with the Z, since the Z needs to be all the way up (or almost all the way). I was just pointing out that it's strange that they want the level lower than max. It's the first time I saw that. Other brands ask for a slight overfill. I guess we have to trust the...

I never personally compared. But from what others have said, it supposedly sounds a lot better than the M/T version. I went from stock A/T version to AWE Touring. I really liked the sound and tone of the AWE, but decided to go back to stock because I started to use the car more for daily...

Thanks Matt, but I already bought one (Automatic).

That's great news! Please keep us updated on the repair, as well as what the exact problem was (if they can determine). Also, why they thought it happened in the first place, and what can be done to prevent it from happening in the future.
