Yeah same Nick

sad story..
curious if he was able to pick up another z or even wants to after this?

 

[Heavy Dupree]

very curious to see how the automatic holds up in competitive racing.

Also curious to see if the mounting tabs on the Nismo sway bars hold up

I wish we knew the spring rate of the Nismo Z and the Nismo coilovers

any insight into why they chose 0W-30 engine oil for this build?

Not sure why they chose the cold start 0w number instead of 5w. I figured they would run 5w40 or at least 5w30.

Cold clearances are the same almost always, if you push more power or abuse the car more the oil weight will only matter more in that hotter range, since the VR30 is also quite tight cold 0W is completely fine, though hot 0w20 is only effective until around 226-230 while W30 is 250~; essentially clearances and lubrication change when the engine is hot, not as much when cold, when cold it’s still very tight and needs fast and easy flow.
