Went out into downtown Charlotte ('uptown' read_t) with Thezmonster and a couple cool Nismo 350Z owners. Met an old mall security cop who decided to tell all about his life, then went to get some photo gear. Then we hit the garages in (uptown). Cruising the 4 Z's turning heads all the way. Today was a good day.

Lets make it 5 in April when I get home :driving:

Dropped the Evo-R lip off at the wrap place. Should be ready in a few days.

Went to the Pavilions car show this week and met up with another Z owner (was hoping for more to show up).

Didn't stay long, but it was still fun. Noticed my car being noticed too. :tup:

Finally got the alignment done after installing coilovers, rear camber and toe bars. Now to order spacers....

Kelly hood dampers and M370 manifold! This give the low end intake growl the car was missing! Cant get on it too much, only 150 miles on the new clutch, but the mid range feels strong! Taken before the strut bar and cover went back on, it does fit.

I was not thrilled with the solution of the manifold sensor by motordyne, so I used a little pvc adhesive to hold it in secure.

Took the body kit to the paintshop. Installed the fancy wheels and tires. Cleaned the wheels wells and waxed the callipers. Detailed the interior.

Drove about 250 miles today around San Antonio and Austin :tup:

Oil change reminder came on, too, telling me I need to get intimate with her again :icon17:

Oil temp pegged at 240 pretty much all day - definitely got a little boggy trying to get on it later in the day :ugh2: maybe an oil cooler to think about...

Caught mine at that the other day when it was 95 out and I was cruising.

No doubt. 25 r oil cooler from Z1. Dont forget to fab up a block off plate and wrap the hoses with additional heater hose where it makes contact with the body.

:tiphat: block off plate is for winter right? I'm not even sure that's necessary here in TX as I was noting oil temps between 200-210 even on our coldest winter day this year.

I drive mine in COLD Colorado weather.(25 row stillen) There is a thermostatic bypass for the cooler, so I don't really see a reason for the blocker plate.

What am I missing?
