I came close to hitting limp mode as my oil temp was creeping up on it. Had it been a hot humid summer day I think I would have hit it. I just did the drive back to DC today and it was a blast, I left early so no traffic and I hit my favorite parts all clear. I need to work on my rwd skills coming from the awd Audi. I did 380 miles in 6 hours which includes two stops for gas and pee time. With McDonald's too. Plus once you get close to DC it all slows down below 70 and through some speed trap towns.
Next mod will be oil cooler with steel brake lines and Nismo intake. So it's a good open road car. Go drive it hard! |
I've driven from DC to MS (12hrs) with no aftermarket cooler and had no heating issues. I also made a few Z fans along the way. :tiphat:

Ok guys, so I started my journey from Selma Ca to Killeen Texas on Thursday in my Nismo. So far I've done 1000 miles, still need to go another 600. I stopped in El Paso, TX for the night, will get to my destination tmrw. So far so good, hard to get my oil temps up to 180. I have a 25r cooler, and on the interstate I'm only reaching about 160, even thought it was 75 degrees in most of Arizona and New Mexico. I have a block off plate I made so I had to use it during the morning hours.

Awesome. How long are you going to be in Killeen? I should be back some time in the next month or so............Woohoo!

Long drives in my '03 350 Track used to be exhausting with the heavy gas pedal and even heavier clutch, even heavier steering, but have done many long drives on both freeways and mountain back roads in my '10 Nismo and it's a pure pleasure.
And ever since I got those f'ing suspension widgets out of the coils even the hard ride is no problem anymore. |
Just bought mine a few days ago in Texas. Drove 1200 miles to get it home in Minnesota. A lot of fun. A lot of back pain.
