You wouldn't happen to drive a gunmetal color Z would you?

Drove it and priced out a stock to nismo exhaust conversion through a local dealer

Tested my new Ventus V12 EVO2 on freeway where it was pretty empty.

I found out that it slips often after 6,000 RPM.

Yep, thats to be expected with that tread pattern and tire quality. I can buy a set for under 400 bucks.. My stock Bridgestones slip often after 6000 rpm lol..

I bet those hankook will slip much, much more.

I don't know. But for me it seemed to happen regardless of its temperature.

For some reason my shop was having trouble getting RBF 600? Wtf?

anyways found and sourced it... picking up a bottle for the csc/msc swap. I did notice the brake fluid was a bit lower. I'll ask them to top it up with the remainder.

tune deposit has also been confirmed! the tuner mentioned 2.5 hours give or take on average and explained it's a bit longer than uprev due to more customizability. weee!

Before you top off, replace the pads. If you top off and then replace pads, the excess has to go somewhere. Better to have new pads, then replace the brake fluid by flushing out through the bleed ports.

rotor/pads were replaced last year. it's a smidgen below the max kinda like where it was pre-replacement. probably had some air in the lines

Just replaced my stock with Nismo CBE today. Sound isn't much difference but I do like the looks much better with bigger tips:

Polished it!

D.Stillwell · 03-04-2016, 02:52 PM

^^ Looks much like the Stillen exhaust. Any reason you chose Nismo vs all other options?

no reason. just purely like the look, didn't want a loud exhaust, and 'supposedly' some gains. Im planning to get it tuned in the future with more bolt-ons. Oh, and I get to say "I have a nismo exhaust"

and it was really cheap!.....
