Fluid Temps

[adamste19]

I just sold my 2018 Nismo 370z and bought a 2026 Z Performance.

At the track, the 370z always ran hot even with oil and transmission coolers. I added a supercharger and the transmission failed, installed a VR30 transmission but it didn’t sync up.

I’m in North Texas, but avoided the track from late May to mid-September.

Are the fluid temps on the 23+ Z similar at the track?

'24 Nismo, also in North Texas. I went last year in March in early march at MSR Cresson. No temp issues were had. Had a bit of minor brake fade, but have since gone with stainless steel brake lines + high temp brake fluid.

Weak points for the Performance seem to be the Oil cooler, Brake Fluid, Brake pads, and Heat Exchanger. Some people report no issues stock - It all depends on what kind of track day you're doing and how long its being pushed.

The Nismo has two turbo heat exchangers (central and passenger-side), plus an extra engine coolant radiator. This gives it better cooling out the box than the Sport/Perf.

Best of luck. Great car.
