Replaced the original battery yesterday... and I guess I replaced the starter too because i don't ever remember it sounding as strong as it does now.

I'm still on the original too. Battery tenders make a huge difference

Picked up some oil... i have been using mobil 1 0w40 on my supercharged HR for a few years now. (stillen + v1 TG A-A kit) Anyone else running 0w40 on their supercharged Z's?

My initial thought was... Blackstone results show that using 0w40 has shown less wear. Especially on forced induction. But, then I thought about the gallery gasket issue. Maybe using 0w40 was bumping up the oil pressure when there was a failing/failed gallery gasket and thus... seeing less metals in the oil. Anywhooo... was a thought I had.

I have to warm up my car for 10-15 minutes before I can go out driving... oil pressure at idle is at 120psi with 0w40.

Any good 0 40 oil will do. I ran Mobil 1 40 several years in my TT Z.

Lol, I just got back from Nissan to grab some OEM ester oil. Told me they don't even sell it in quarts there anymore. They recommend I go to Walmart across the street and get Castrol 0w30 or Mobil 1 0w40

My oil pressure cold at idle with Mobile 1, 0w40 is between 105 and 110. Warm, it's around 35.

So this is going down right now! Z I is getting corner balanced, suspension tuned and mapped. Hopefully @WRteknica will be shaking her down this weekend.

I didn't know you still had a Z!

So effing exciting!! Someone needs to video your reaction when you finally get the keys back and take it for that first spin. I can already see that huge smile plastered across your face
