Hi! Newbie Here!
 

Hi everyone! Name is Miguel, you may refer to me as Mig. :) I recently got my self a 370z 40th Anniversary 2010. I got it with a full exhaust system and rims already on it, lucky me X). The car hasn't disappointed at all I got it for my birthday on January 2015. :D haha I have many things I wish to do to it unfortunately I'm on stump as to where I should begin :/ I was hoping maybe some of you could point me in the right direction?

At the time being I'm avoiding major improvements or expensive ones such as twin turbos, exhaust system. I was wondering if I should do a stage 1 clutch or stage 2? How should I proceed? Install it off the back or do I need to do other upgrades first so I don't wreck the power train or transmission? I have a Quaife diff. On sights but it's pricey :(. Do the cars come with a tranny cooler? Power steering cooler? How beneficial is it to run these systems? Sorry I have many questions ...

Oh and also I am from California in San Diego! Anyone else from here who might want to meet up and just Z around that'd be cool X) I've been looking for Z meets but I can't find anything here locally so it'd be cool to start something like that.

Congratulations and welcome, Mig! :tiphat:

Congrats and Welcome! :hello:

Thanks guys! :3 I appreciate the love haha

Hello welcome, yeah step #1 NEED MORE LOW

As for a cooler you might need to get an engine oil cooler. I'm in Los Angeles area and driving around lately on the freeway getting to 220 on the gauge and sometimes on spirited driving goes up to 240. I believe reading around that the 2012 and up have an oil cooler from Nissan so that might be the first thing you should do.

This would all depend on how your driving the car keep in mind cooler temps are always better but is it a necessity?

That's true. I just dont like that gauge going past 220. If I drive like a grandma it stays maybe 210/200. But this car just makes me wanna go fast for some reason...:rofl2:

Edit: Only reason I suggested an oil cooler was because he has 2010 and those don't have the oil cooler from Nissan right?

Correct 2012 and up have them. I have an 09' and ive only ever had mine go up to 230 degrees a couple times during hard driving never above that though.

Well I have detected a cooler sitting at the bottom of the radiator I honestly thought it was already included from the dealer. My driving has taken me to 230-240 at time and I'm averaging 200-220 on my granny days I'm at 180 haha I'll get a picture for you guys. I just thought if I have a cooler and my temp is getting that high maybe it needs an upgrade?

P.s. Yes I understand the dropping of the car to get in nice and low but NO I will not be dropping my Fair lady.

I refuse to do such a harmful and risky thing to my car, it's already low as it is and the bumps or pot holes, plus I go to TJ Baja California at times so definitely not. I was actually considering a small lift ;) and maybe some thicker tires :p aww yeeee

If it's small and on the passenger side in front of the radiator, that's your power steering cooler.
