You know all those beaten dead horse questions? Well in this thread we can beat that bitch again.


Need to ask what type of oil to use? Too lazy to Google that we all use different stuff, we can help you be indecisive.

Wondering who makes stock wheels but you don't want to put your glasses on? Ask us.

Wonder what type of bulbs the turn signals are but you don't want to look it up? We've got an answer!



Honestly, I have been a guy who gives the standard "search feature" reply, but instead of doing that, let's make a thread dedicated to the simple questions, or questions that are easy to answer.
BUT reply with only useful info. (That means you too Kenchan )

Okay guys, this is a serious thread. So please keep all the jokes to the other thread. Thanks Andrew for the great idea helping out newbies.

Depends what you want to do. The auto is faster, faster at shifting too. If you want to go forced induction it cannot hold the same power as a manual, and if you want it to hold the same power the upgrades will cost MUCH, MUCH more. Also, there is more you can do with a manual to make the car faster, lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch, etc. The manual has a huge issue of the CSC going out though, so keep that in mind.

White, because Mike (bullitttt) has 1000WHP+ and his car is white

Yes, you're on it. There are others for members in Australia, but I don't know why you'd use it

You CAN, but it is not safe and not recommended

I don't see why not, but you will not have as much articulation with them

Fuckng awesome

You should go to Harbor Freight, buy a non-marring pry tool set like this one:
4 Piece Nylon Pry Bar Installer Kit

and do this mod:

DIY: Weight reduction/Fix hatch not opening issue

Then return the set

Yes, you shoudn't drive and you should siphon your gas tank out and preferably all the lines. If you're too lazy. siphon, put gasoline and let the car idle for a LONG time. THe car WILL run with a bit of diesel, just not well

Body kit and brakes are dead giveaways. (There are more, I am just stating the REALLY obvious)
Base will not have a spoiler, 18" wheels, and ghetto looking calipers.
Sport will have a small spoiler on the hatch, 19" wheels and big calipers that often times say "Nissan" on them
The Nismo will have reddish cloth seats, red stitching throughout the cabin, different 19" wheels, the same brakes as the sport, and a big spoiler on the hatch

Reset your windows. Roll them down and hold the button down for 10 seconds (you can hear the motor click is you listen closely) then roll it up all the way and hold up for 10 seconds. If it doesn't work, call me. I know you're trolling anyways

Yes. Backpressure hurts

No, but "Gale" is a part of his real name

Some time between now and 2020. Odds are within a few years though.
No one outside Nissan really knows. We can all speculate.

Male

From Wikipedia:

No, and it would not be safe to do so.

Generally no. If you are a good driver, with track experience, then yes.
AND if weather permits

From Wikipedia:

Generally no. It is a very tail happy car. But if you trust him, and he isn't immature, why not?

F-350

Most likely not. Depends the year of the Miata. If it is an older Miata, I am sure the 370Z's door are better because safety restrictions have improved over the years; If it is a newer one, its a toss up, you would have to consult the cars' engineers or side impact safety data

It was meant to be serious... Kinda sucks having to answer all of these.

Yes, any extra strain on the motor will shorten the life. If you build it for 500WHP but never use it then maybe not.
No, but you can try. The car was not designed for the extra load and you voided the warranty by modifing the drivetrain so much

Get these: IS350, GT40, F40, DMC-12

Maybe, with the amount of die hard Nissan and Z enthusiasts, there will most likely be a cult following for the car much like the 240Z

Nissan, says it on the bumpers and engine bay and sticker on the door

Yes, many things, the biggest problem is that you can blow the motor.

Depends what you are looking for, max HP, FI. Max weight, Stillen. Deepest note, Ark. Lightest, Amuse. Loudness, Amuse or Meisterhitler

Yes. It costs too much money to solve a problem that only the minority will have. And yes, they are some of THE DUMBEST engineers around... Or the laziest...

Your V6 probably has higher specific HP though

No, go buy one of those. They are cheaper, so your 370Z should cover the cost of one. You're the stupid one here

Longer gear ratios in your diff. Especially since you have so much power.

If you're talking about on the 370Z. None, the car is already properly grounded.

Because we're all pricks

Up to what you can afford and if you want to keep the car for more than a lease term.

From: style.org > Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow

Whichever is turbo'd

For a new 370Z, a Nissan dealer, for a used one... Many, depends what part of the world you are in

... Nothing against either actually... I mean I wouldn't hit a woman, but the guy makes some ok music... Sooooooo...
I like the 5.0, but I dislioke the cheapness of the interior

Canola oil, it lowers your bad cholesterol and raises your good cholesterol

One serious question and the guy deletes it because of the shenanigans. This is why we can't have nice things.

But make sure its organic. A lot of processing of the rape seed to get it to normal canola oil. I'd still use olive oil though since the rape seed needed a lot of selective breading (not genetic engineering which is even worse) over the years to get away from the poisonous acid it used to produce.

How often do I need to check the viscosity in my tires?

I was going to say this, but yeahhh... And Olive oil isn't good for cooking because it burns very easily, and anything burnt isn't good. Grape seed oil is my personal choice
