Deep Blue Pearl New Z Owner

Congrats! These are so wonderful cars!
I recommend your first oil change at 1,000 miles and use Redline 5W-40, which is top notch. A little pricey but worth it. It is a synthetic ester formula. Nissan recommends ester oil, which I believe is to protect the plasma sprayed pistons, at least from my understanding. The 40 weight is a must in hot climates. I used to live in Florida and now live in Vegas. I have 26,000 miles on my '17 and change the oil every 5,000 miles. Doesn't burn a drop this far.

Thanks for all the warm welcoming much appreciated, My Z speed Clutch Package is supposed to be here today, Turbo kit may ship this week as well
I'm pretty excited I hope I don't have any issues with the install to be honest but if I do I will be that guy asking, I have a fully equipped shop with a lift so should be good maybe.

Jlarson has a great write up in his build thread and worth looking over. JLarson's build thread
This little bit will help save some time and swear words:

There is a dimple in the pipe that sits over the top of the bolt but flipping the bolt over gives you a lot more room to maneuver in that tight space.
