What did you do with your Z today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

It looks good. Maybe once you know the setup works fine, get some wire tape from Aliexpress as well to tape up the wires coming out of the mirror, making the 2 red wires less noticeable.

Good call. Thanks. So far, so good. I also have some black adhesive Velcro standing by for the camera in case the 3M tape isn't up to the job.

Drove the Z from LA County to Phoenix (yesterday) and returned home Sunday. The manual/engine is very efficient. Doing about 80 mph avg and getting about 28 MPG.

Some stretches the car was going 110 mph and it was very stable. Downshifted from 80 mph at 6th gear to 4th gear and I could hear my exhaust roared . Love this car. Car is at 3200 miles in 2 months (work from home so no commute). My goal is to get 15000 miles in one year.

I thought the Z1 heat exchanger doesn’t work on our Nismo? I also wonder if the upgraded HX works with the secondary smaller exchanger? I notice on Z1 it says not compatible with Nismo.

The bracket on the CZP oil cooler definitely doesn't work, but the heat exchanger bolted right up, I would recommend slightly bigger washers on the bolts vs the stock washers.

So I looked and on their site says, does not fit Nismo, they make one similar and call it Nismo for 2-3 times as expensive.....in their video they show the same stock exchanger that I removed from my Nismo and say their exchanger is an upgrade.

Short Sands Beach in York, Maine around 8:30 this morning. The "Season" is over so you can get around town again.

I drove up Sunday morning and certainly wasn't hypermiling, running ahead of traffic at 75 and up, but I got 27 MPG. I think everyone is right about this car having the potential to get 30 MPG at high speeds.
I have not seen any loss on the dipstick. Tires are exactly at the cold reading when I first start driving. I'm going to get the oil out this week now that it's around 1200 miles. I'm pretty happy so far!

Also, 1200 miles and still haven't seen another Z on the road! I saw 7 or 8 De Tomaso Panteras running down the highway near Manchester, New Hampshire yesterday and no Zees!

I blacked out the negative space in my front Nissan logo with some vinyl.

Looks great on your car. I don't think I'd do this on Seiran Blue.

Agreed. It ties the roof and A pillars in to the front on this scheme.

I bought the RS-R springs today . Wanted the mild drop compares to the Swift. Can someone suggest what I should buy from Z1 Motorsports. I have $244 credit.

I already have the following sports trim:

springs
aftermarket rims
muffler delete
spoiler

Sway Bars kit is a must to complement the springs.

I am curious how difficult is the installation. If its similar to the 350z, then its easy. If its like the Miata ND, I don't know how many bad words came out of my mouth.

It's not intense. But you will need a professional wheel alignment after install.

Catch can, or one of the rear braces.
