Long drives in a Nismo

DCNISMO · 04-08-2012, 03:55 PM

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.
