Lol 160kmh = bye bye car for 7 days

I been fluctuating revs from 3-4 hitting 5 once fluids warm. Did touch 6 a few times and its like ahhh i wanna keep going!

I was going to wait for another 100 or so km before i redline once. Clutch still being broken in so taking it easy on launches. Trying to get used to the new dynamics so holding off being too spirited around corners as i rebuild confidence

That's what I've been doing, for fuel starve and also to keep fuel pump cooler, but I had a brain fart earlier.

Brain farts stink, don't they?

I also learned this the hard way. Riding with a friend to meet some girls at a a bar I swing a hard right on to the intersate and lay on the throttle to show my buddy his 4 banger evo has nothing on my mighty z. Then the car begins to sputter. I hadn’t had the car long at this point so I had no idea that this mistake would leave us stranded on the side of the road. After realizing the car had shut itself off I manurverd it over to the side of the road. Tried my best to get it started but it would turn and turn but not kick over. As our Uber driver drove us to the bar leaving my car on the side of the highway I jumped on the trusty internet to see what forum existed for the z and what they said had just happened to my car. This was the first I had come across this forum and it was a done deal after that. Constantly searching the forum for the best upgrades and what exhaust sounds the best or if an intake is worth $500?! Or if some k&n filters offer me some improved performance. Anyways enough drunken ramble for this guy. Y’all rock! Keep it up!

Now he has stories for his Evo friends.

Based on my experience, I would do exhaust, suspension, cooling, intake, & tune.

Get to motor the car already has shy of 500km. Trying to shift at 4 but sometimes get to 5 and then 6000rpm a few.

Trying to wait but man it revs so freely.

Nismo final drive def shorter. Can tell vs the non nismo. Its peppy
