High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

6MT

My question is... why were you street racing?

jesus. heres what happened. I (me) driving around on back roads above the speed limit. yes i stated above the speed limit. i came upon 2 cars, one was tail gating the other. the speed limit is 45 mph and they were doing approximately 30. i passed them once it was LEGAL to pass them. when I was about to pass the S2K he gunned it. Since I had WOT I figured Id humor him but it didnt turn out that way. Then like 1 mile later the last part of the back road ends in an uphill straight. the civic was right behind me and I wanted to see if my Z would get away from it, it didnt. Thats what happened. the civic wasnt a race, i was already infront him him.

Furthermore, when I get pulled over for speeding, if and when the cop runs my plates he hands me back my info once he receives the information and tells me to slow down, no ticket, no questions, nothing.why? because I have more than likely backed that chippie or sherrif up in a vehicle stop and if not, I probably will eventually. so if I want to do a little spirited drive early in the morning, I am going to as long as traffic is light.

Ill post the vids as soon as I get home. In 5th gear at 60 mph is under 3K rpms and thats usually my normal drive through that area. I didnt expect to get flamed and I am asking for some knowledge on the matter but hey its a forum. And unfortuantely in my opinion, the Z as a stock car isnt what I expected it to be. I am thinking of buying another Oil Cooler from GTM and having them installing it which will more than likely solve my issue then hopefully I can go to cal speedway or willow springs with many of the forum members in so cal here.

Why would you buy another GTM Oil Cooler after the last incident? Or are you referring to upgrading to the larger setrab cooler?

true. but I figure if I have installed by "professional" the issue wont arise hopefully but I am most certainly not skilled enough to even drive the car hard enough to best the standard size oil cooler. I never saw what had happened to Travisjb but I haven't asked him what kit he had. I like the Z a lot, even though I say I hate it and shoulda waited and bought a Z06. I want to enjoy the Z As much as I can before I get rid of it but you guys will see once I post the vids. If you're not sugar coating your statements and DO NOT see oil temps over 230 with aggressive driving, you'l be in wtf mode all day once I post the vids. My car will shoot from 210-230 in just a 1st-3rd gear pull at WOT. it bugs the crap out of me.

btw did your package arrive in good condition or did they play soccer with it?

So you're either a lawyer, a cop, or a judge...

Either way, you think you're above the law.



Thank you for being the problem instead of being the solution.

TARDCORE

actually im not any of those. So from what I have seen you post buddy, you apparently win professional track events. you are an experienced professional aftermarket installer, you are also quick to make stupid comments, and believe me that one above isnt going to make you any friends. So everyone meet Kannibul he is a good at everything, and knows it so he posts it on forums.

So because you were already in front of the Civic means it wasnt a race? Wow this is news to me. Any time one car competes with another at high speeds it IS racing. BTW it just sounds like you cant drive.

TARDCORE

I work for DHS and I being in the same line of work, I meet a lot of LEO's from different agencies/departments and make friends or just acquaintences. So just because I say I went for a spirited drive its a bad thing? I have seen many people post that same thing on this site. Look at the thread about the stock lsd on this car. cmon people. I think since Im gettin rid of the Z at the end of the year I dont need to post on this site anymore since I know what I need to know. The Z stock isnt meant to be driven hard. And there is a big risk with fixing that problem and I hope my previous issue with the oil cooler has helped some people really think about that risk since its happened to 2 people on this site.

Edit: you all make it seem like im the bad guy here. look at blue's post. look at kannibul's. You guys r hilarious though I must admit

He wasn't.

kannibul

Actaully, he was. He just didn't initiate it.

It's like saying I was just walking along and these two guys jumped out in front of me and told me to give them my money. they started to swing, and I fought back thinking I could win. I KO'd one guy, and the other guy put up a better fight, but I think I still got him.

Now, was he fighting? Yes. Did he start it? No.

So, he was racing. He could have dropepd out and let the other two guys have at it.

TARDCORE

thats actually a bit extreme for a comparrison. I mean thats being threatened with the small possibility of them just taking your money to the extreme possibilty of them taking your life. Maybe if they asked for your shirt? or a hair clipping?

it does have me curious what you do tardcore maybe first respondent not sure. other than that kannibul he is going to do what he is going to do and take it to PM's if you feel so upset about it and can't help with the oil problem. Those temps sound normal to me from what you're saying. Chances are you won't ever have another cooler explode on you so you might as well get another one only real fix for the problem. Oh and get a used oil anaylisis done at your ext change to check and see if you have major damage/wear from when it happened if not your probably golden.

Ever think of what would have happend should a deer have jumped out in the road while you were racing? The whole thing was about your ego and your pride.

If it didn't matter, then you wouldn't have been street racing. Had you gotten into an accident or a ticket, you would have raised all our insurance rates...meanwhile, according to you, this car isn't meant to be raced (so, why did you anyway?) so you're getting rid of it in a year. Way to **** in everyone's foxhole with that potential outcome.
