Removing coolant lines to TBs is one of the first things any Z32 owner ever did. And when I went to move the TBs onto the Stillen Manifold, I removed them again on the Z34, zero issues. Our lowest temps in Sydney would be around -1c or -2c.

Do you really think it makes any difference in performance at all?
I have read elsewhere that it doesn't and is therefore totally unnecessary.

Hah, course it does f*ck all for performance. Never claimed it was for that reason. It's purely to declutter and remove irrelevant systems, and in this case also remove one more potential point of failure, such as a coolant leak. Could be argued that's a stretch but I don't care.

For day to day running about, no it likely wouldn't. At the track it will definitely help stave off heatsoak.
