That's the MotorTrend numbers. It's interesting that they still call out 'Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600s', which the NISMO M/T does not come with.
Also, the Performance MT, which has less power and doesn't have factory two-piece rotors was tested at 13.0 @ 111MPH. Yeah, the people testing at...
The solenoid won't have issues with frequent oil changes. The issue is caused by extended service intervals. Deleting the solenoid is moreso just piece of mind.
Anything 0/5 - 20-40 won't affect the VR engine significantly with frequent oil changes. If running the engine oil at higher...
I suspect they're running some shit 91. Can atest that 91 significantly slowers the VR30DDTT. It's hard to trust journalists, when they don't provide their methodology for getting the cars ready to test.
Bigger brakes are really only better for getting to the threshold of your tires sooner and keeping the brakes cool longer. If you are not using your brakes in a track-like way, standard caliper brakes have no trouble stopping as hard as a Brembo kit, just with more pedal force.
I strictly use 93 E10 from Kwik Trip, Costco, or BP, so brand agnostic. I've used 91 once because of fuel starve, and that caused a significant reduction in timing.
I ran 65°, 80°, and 90° track days in like 85% humidity. Didn't notice much difference on following 90° track days with HX, also at...
Have used the TruControl v1 non-NISMO on Map7 at multiple track days. I've never noticed a significant performance dropoff. This was before I installed CZP HX too.
If there's a die hard truck guy on here, they can disagree, but I believe the consensus in the half-ton space is that they all are having considerably more issues than ever before. The space could use an old school truck.
