Hit 70K the other night. Fuked up the mileage photo :mad:

I'll update my album later with the 70001 mile pic :facepalm:

Had Stillen sway bars & kw v3's installed.

Huge improvement! Like it's on rails through the twisties.

Thanks to Seb, LJ & Jonathan @ Specilaty Z!

Installed Stillen exhaust last night, after the rain on wet ground, in the parking spot, on jack stands....hardcore style

Pullin out the Z all day today

motored my z this am for the last time this season, had a good drive. filled with stabil and did a full QD and now curing the QD's wax completely before car cover tomorrow. :)

will place her on flatstoppers later this pm. :D

Put these on.

my heart bleeds for your paint if you used that foaming brush at the self wash. :eek: say it ain't so

Installed a TWM Performance M1 Abrams Shift Knob (Satin Finish) with Z1 Motorsports Aluminum Shift Knob Finisher (Black Finish).

Hell no.

breathed a sigh of relief now time meow. nice job on the halos

I worked detailing cars when I was a teenager so I know that's a nono.
However all credit for the halos goes to rajmangal

placed my z on flatstoppers. will psi up and cover tomorrow after motoring my G.

:iagree:

Did my regular oil change & while getting under the car I noticed a large chunk of fiberglass has broken off... 1/4" makes a lot of difference :( Need to raise the front but will have to wait until next week

Installed a 25 row setrab oil cooler today and holy crap what a difference in oil temps. Went from seeing temps regularly go up to 260 and above down to seeing max temps of 215 after an extended amount of spirited driving, loving it!

Yeap, just installed the FI oil cooler kit for a 2012 or higher. I was always seeing temps of 220 with just normal driving. I am now at 180deg with a 34 row Setrab oil cooler during normal driving. Went on a 4 hr trip yesterday, oil temps stayed at 180-185. Super happy about it because it was an extended drive with speeds at 75 and up the whole way. Now I can stop starring at that dang gauge.

I've considered adding a cooler, but I worry a 34 row might overcool.

Then install a 25 row. That's what I run and it does fine in the summertime. Temps are usually around 180 driving normally. Or, if you install a 34 row, just block off part of the cooler in the wintertime, if need be.

I got the Mocal thermostatic plate. 180 at the gauge is 200 coming out the motor to the cooler. It's cool outside for me right now. I don't worry about cool oil as much as I do overheated oil.

By the way, the FI kit removes the factory oil heater/cooler.

Same for me except a little more extreme....i was seeing 240 and above with just regular driving and 260 in stop and go traffic....best investment ever :)

To Spooler's point, definitely get a kit with a thermostatic plate.

What's it like in the winter with that 25?

Oil Cooler?
 

Just wondering? Everyday driving now. With the oil temp lower with the cooler, how does that effect the designed engine temp, in regards to combustion (gasoline burned fully), sensors, etc?
Thxs

I see no difference.

Got lucky on mine...it already came with one lol

Backroad driving in Brown County with a IMIN (Indiana Modified Infinity Nissan). Nice weather, good roads and great people.

Well, it is a Z.

Z06 that is.

Vette!
 

It IS THE AMERICAN ROADSTER!

Awesome drive.

Deleted the side curtain air bags awhile ago and had a whole bundle of wires taped up. Decided to delete the center airbag module which made me dig into the the passenger side harness again. Before i knew it only one wire was actually needed for the windows last 1/2" up and down. Now its so clean.

Don't know, as I installed mine earlier this year and haven't had it during wintertime. I'm sure it will be fine, though, since I've got a thermostatic plate. If it runs too cool, I'll just block off part of the cooler.

Like this?

Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate, by Mishimoto

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mishimoto thermostatic plate will fail, dump all your oil while driving, and the oil light (pressure) won't come on until it's too late. Bye bye motor :wtf2:

Mishimoto, for their part, will send you a replacement O-ring for the one that failed :shakes head: :gtfo2:

Ah, screw that then. Z1?

Yes. Or Mocal :tup:

Crap ton of :driving: lately...I love Harry.

Dropped off my rear wheel at a local "Wheel Fix It" shop. I got curb rash awhile back and made an attempt to fix it myself. The sanding and bondo went well, but the paint was a disaster. Decided to pony up the $125 to have someone with more talent and better paint tools do the fix.

What I did yesterday. Baseline was after new exhaust (Borla) was installed. I'm tickled pink. The car feels so much stronger than before.
I highly recommend Dynosty. Very professional business with some major builds under their belt. Talked to Hal, the owner, about a GTR that they've built putting down 1350 HP and over 1000 ft/lb torque.

Hard to see the #s in the pic, on my phone at least...what were the numbers?

Almost 312 HP and 260 ft/lb
