Cool. :tup:

I changed my diff oil today and ScGRacer stopped by in his white Nismo to do the same. I have 27k on my car and figured it was about time to do the change. Redline was not available locally so we each grabbed two quarts of Royale Purple 75W90 which claims to be great with LSD's and is both GL-4 and GL-5 compatible. I'm sure you don't have to change it so early but it's piece of mind.

You can see all the metal shavings and sludge stuck to the magnetic bolt.

^^Nice! My drain bolt magnet looked almost that bad at just 2k miles.

Installed Z1 post-maf tubes just now

Wow, the only thing I did was clean my G using sprayon carwash. Done in 28min. Woot! :D

:tiphat:

Follow up to above issue. idle air voluem learn would not take. disconnected one of mass air flow sensor and performed closed throttle learn. reattemp idle volume air learn and it took. cleared codes, found no codes returned. checked ecm grounds, as it could be related to closed throttle learn to be lost. Found light corrosion on engine ground strap from motor to firewall. Cleaned and retorqued...tested runs fine.

So wierd....

Hey, Mr. Footloose -- your garage is mighty nice (and clean).

Thanks dude! :tup:

:iagree:

Yeah I plan on tinting the red part a little bit but not the white....I like the contrast a little bit. Also might paint the headlight cans so i can still enjoy my bright headlights but tone down the look a little bit.

Track day for the nismo today (and tomorow)
 

Wifey finished up her first of a two day track event at Daytona today.

Her inputs so far:

1. Fuel starve occured with 6 dots down from full (must fill the tank up after every session to prevent/delay this). I asked her to run a session w/o a full tank so we could find out when it occurs just since I was curious.

2. Running PS2 tires, vastly improved over the stock tires (which were on for the last 4 track days). towards the end of the fourth session, they did begin to get "greasy" but for 3 1/2 30min sessions they were good.

3. Brake fluid started to overheat toward the end of the 4th session (spongy pedal). Running motul rbf 600. Damn brakes on this car run so hot.

4. top speed on the front straight was 140mph. She said she's lifting and not going flat out since at around 140 on this track, the car starts to get "light". If she was to go flat out and have a perfect run, she/I recon top speed would be about 150mph.

5. She out drove a GT3 in the infield and after 3 laps he finally relented and let her pass him, then she put some distance on him and never saw him again that session.

6. Z06 blew it's motor on one session right in front of her and sprayed oil all over the front of the car, no one hurt or wrecked tho.

7. She's one of the slowest cars out there in her group, (mostly Z06s, GT3s, GT3rs, F430s, F430 scuderia, GT2s, etc) BUT in the infield, where driving skill and handling trump/equalize horsepower differences, she's kicking a$$. :)

LOL who the fvck are you married to???:bowrofl:

Juno, the greatest woman in the world (she's on here so I have to make sure I put that in there.) :tup:
