What's the story on high mileage Z's 2023+?

[Meg_Z]

Same. My god, are they superior.

Yes those will be my tires of choice for now on.

I've had such good luck with PS4S, it'd be hard to switch away, but maybe I'll try these for my next set. So many rave reviews here.

Z Nismo with around 31,500 miles, multiple track days and aftermarket mods like intercoolers, lower down pipe, exhaust, etc (no tune). Just got my first oil analysis back from Blackstone Labs and seems like everything is humming along!

Good readings over all, Scott, mixture of track and street miles. What 5W30 are you using? It's working well. Viscosity did get thinned out a bit but still good protection. I wonder if 5W40 could help, not sure what temps you come across on your track days. I use 5W40 LiquiMoly on my Cayman S for our hot climes here, good success so far.

It cannot be understated how awful the S007's are. 13,000~ miles on my 2024 and I'm about to pull the trigger on some PS4S. Factory size up front, 10mm wider in the rear to help with the lack of traction. I'm hoping between better and wider tires I'll be fine.

Day 1 I replaced those oem tires with Michelin A/S Pilot Sports 4.

I had R/T Tuning put in 5w-40 full syn Liquid Moly. Next one im going Motul 5W-30 for fall season. My oil pressure at idle is at lowest 23psi. 0w-20 it was 16psi. Race Box put up a bulletin about addressing low oil pressure and making at most 5,000 miles oil and filter replacement. I do 3,000 miles . I'm old school. My money and time so I do it.

Over 25k and no issues. I've been diligent about oil changes and gonna put in stainless steel brake lines when I flush that fluid soon.

I still break the @$$ end loose even with the new rubber and a LSD.

Is adding an LSD to a Sport worthwhile? Mine is automatic and i just kinda never turn off traction control.

When you drive it HARD 0.05% of the time, and using the paddle shifters? Those times? Yes. IMO, the other 99.95% of the time in an automatic is a no from me.

Sorry. I'm only a fan of automatics in a sports car 0.05% of the time. My true opinion will earn me a time-out.

If you do decide to so the swap, it is dead simple with a lift and a tranny jack. Keep an eye on nissanusa.com for a coupon code. Be choosy about the dealership if goes to, as it affects the price. (Empire Nissan was just under $2k. Rt17 Nissan was $2600. BOTH were "15% off")

 

[Thefunk]

So far so good *knock on wood and bone*.
The only "issues" are some creaking noises coming from the sway bars and endlinks which I will be handling as soon as I get some grease to lubricate the joints and bushings. I will eventually replace the z1 endlinks with whiteline links since the z1's don't have boots on the ball joints and the whitelines do.

Dude what’s the deal with those codes? The parts I want are not in stock but vary per store but are completely sold out for example it’s confusing, the max I found was 25% and intakes that’s a huge discount

NissanUSA parts are hit or miss. The AT muffler, for example, has been sold out for some time.

The coupon codes come and go. What did NOT change, however, was which dealerships had the lowest price on the Z Performance 6MT rear diff (LSD). Empire Nissan was always the lowest. When the coupon code came up, it made the price even lower. Empire wasn't out the $; Nissan was, as I bought the LSD from Nissan.

So technically speaking can we also use the dealer’s service department to order parts that are out of stock or discounted? I’m just curious

Take into account wider rears will create more understeer too though. I was really surprised how much it had once you throw it at a race track.
Despite the tail happy feel of the stock Z it is actually the opposite to what i assumed

It’s annoying how they put the average column on the wrong side of the table. It should either be first or always one column to the right of the analysis column.

I purchased the only one in USA. I called a few dealerships in my area and one dealer told me there was only one in the USA. same guy told me to take mine to a muffler shop and have it fixed. Lol.

i ended up ordering it on-line from parts.nissanusa for the discount and shipped it to a local dealership for pickup.
