Mike, at what oil temp do you hover at during normal street driving?

PS thanks for the review.

I actually haven't driven it on the street for more than 15 minutes at a time since putting the cooler on and its just getting to around 170-180 at that point.

Mike, you hit ice mode?

What brake setup are you using again?

Yes I did. Stock Akebonos with Motul RBF600 fluid, Carbotech XP10/XP8 pads, and Stoptech slotted front rotors.

WTF???, the only thing you have in common with stock is the rotors? Damn!

edit: I wish Nissan Corp had the nuts to answer Car & Driver on that issue.

The calipers and rear rotors are the only things left that are stock. I think its an ABS issue, not so much the brakes themselves.

The more I track this car, the more dissapointed I get. It has huge potential, but so many stupid little issues that completely screw it right off the bat. Between oil temps, fuel starvation, and this ice mode issue, the car needs a pretty substantial amount of reliability mods before it can truly be a good track car, even in nearly stock form. Thinking about selling the car after this season is over now.

Mike, here's the ice-mode thread if you want to add a description of the conditions that triggered it.

Braking problem - malfunctioning ABS
