:bowrofl:

you first

Can't we all just agree to disagree and hug and make up? I figure we'll all be at ZDayZ next year... so c'mon. :icon17:

all you 5.0s come to zdayz and take up precious cabin space from actual z owners?

:facepalm:

There are like... two 5.0 guys... And there are plenty of other non-Nissans that show up too.

Hell, I founded and still run our local 370Z club, do free installs for everyone, pay for our meetup group, and generally love all things Z... it's all about being a car guy.

They run out of cabin space every year, and several Z owners have to stay 20-30 miles away.

They don't close the resort to non-Z owners for ZDayZ. There are plenty of people that show up completely unrelated to the weekend...

Well then they should have made reservations earlier.

This is true. Most of us make reservations the day we check out.

And it is not exclusive to Z owners also, anyone can go.
Hell, owners who go have not owned a Z since the 90s but still love the Z car and like to be around it.

hey guys? Ummmm, this thread isn't even about brakes... why are we talking about them?

Zed, what I was talking about with the heat shielding wasn't just with the boxes... I plan on doing the boxes, and every part of the intake possible all the way to the engine bay, but I do need numbers to know how much temperature I could potentially be losing and thus an appoximate amount of how much power I could be gaining.

Obviously winter time is rolling around and it won't matter as much, but here, it's not just the heat the humidity is almost always at least 80% and many times even higher. Like I said though... i'll have to get more exact temp readings.

I don't know how much an oil cooler may also cool under the hood if at all, but that will be something i'm going to do as well.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the hell is REALLY going on here??? This is some sort of deep rooted hate thing or what....

I just got back from a little ride... got on the car a few times, nothing to redline or anything.

When I returned, I popped the hood and felt around the intake. The passenger side was hotter than the drivers for one. The radiator hose is HOT and part of it being under the passenger side airbox might be an area to help cool things off... the tubes going to the intake manifold are also pretty warm. Keep in mind that it's also only 60 degrees out today and very windy... my oil temps never even got to 200 degrees even getting on it.

I think that i'm going to cover pretty much all of the intake areas at some point just to be safe. The boxes weren't hot, but you can feel they are well above ambient temp.

Did you check interior temps on the tubes?

This is from another thread where the internal temps had been measured...
