High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

So then what are you?

This keeps up, Ak will come and clean it or lock it.

its gone long enough on a topic that usually ends in flames...

I dont care if you were racing or not. Almost everyone does it when the opportunity presents itself. Its not like he's doing midnight runs guys, cut him a break. Hard to believe none of you guys have ever done a pull one time or another. Anyway thats a different deal, let stay on topic.

Tardcore, I know exactly what you are talking about. It feels like everything is there, but the car just doesnt go anywhere. It doesn't just happen at 260 or 280, it starts to happen almost as soon as your cross 200. I'm pretty sure there is a VVEL map where it begins to pull back power as the temp goes up. Its extremely annoying. Car doesn't rev as fast, doesnt have the same amount of power and just falls flat on its face.

I find the best operating temperature is 180 on the dot. Anything higher than that and the car starts to lose a little umph. Oil coolers are a really important mod for this car

I agree completely. We all do it. We didn't buy 332 hps to never enjoy it on roads other than the track. As long as he used his discretion to make sure it wasn't life threatening to anyone, I don't think we should get on his case. We're not on an interwebz board to regulate laws and ethics. That would fail miserably.

As far as the vids go, to me, it looks like your car reacts much worse to high revs than mine. Mine eventually shoots up but nowhere near as fast as yours does in the vid. I really have to get on it for a while to get the temps up. I've yet to hit 260 and even after some canyon runs I was hovering at ~255.

TARDCORE, has a legitimate question, but unfortunately Nissan, and others, will not give him a legitimate answer. You will need an oil cooler to drive the 370Z sports car—like a sports car—and in other situations. Oil temps suck; high oil temps destroy and shorten the life of oil; with the 370Z they intentionally slow the Z down too (hopefully, you will not be in precarious situation when your Z does...like traffic).

And regarding the relationships he may have made and exercises...well, that's just life. More power to him if he knows the authorities and they know him.

Blah blah blah, we all bought this car to drive slowly at every given moment.

We all got a drivers license as a priviledge that has rules and regulations attached to it (else you lose it), one of which, as the forum rules also state, is no street racing.

RCZ · 02-28-2010, 02:47 PM

I havent seen it go past 240-250 for months and I've driven the crap out of it. On the highway I cant get it past 190-200... not that I've tried, but it hasn't..

Stillen is Setrab as well, almost of them are from the same manufacturer, you want to know why I know this? Yes you do, is because I am in the industry of heating and cooling things. I know the manufacturer of these coils. It doesn't matter where he gets it from they are all going to be manufactured from the same place with a different name. Odds are he got one that was pressure tested and failed and some how was painted and sent out the door.

Ummmm....Wrong problem. Tardcore had a hose blow-off. There was nothing wrong with his core.

Maybe he meant that the core caused excess pressure which, in turn, caused the hose to blow off. Have the two blown off hoses (and one broken hose) been the input to or output from the cooler?

probably? its not probably guys, that IS the reason. This car has a very aggressive tune when it comes to protecting itself from detonation.

BrianMSmith · 03-06-2010, 10:14 AM

I bought a Z after many years of driving a Camaro SS, Ls1 engine. Let's face it, the Z is not a fast car in the engine department. It's sporty, but that's about the best you can say. The car is meant for running on tight twisty canyon roads where handling and composure result in a fun drive. If you want to kick *** in a street drag race, buy a Camaro or a Stang, but don't complain about the cheap low quality interior or vague handling. Although you can mod the chassis of a Camaro and get very good handling, it will never be as good as the Z on real world roads.
