In stop n go I'll go over 110 mid summer in toronto. Your car will pull timing over 100 and you will really notice after 110

Sorry neighbo(u)r! Haha.

It dawned on me that if you're going mostly highway speeds, airflow's probably enough to keep the oil in its sweet spot temp. It's the pesky low speed, high rate of acceleration, that probably makes the cooler necessary.

In any case without knowing what kind of summer we are going to have I'd rather be prepared and have the cooler than regret it and have to order one. Plus I'd like the car to see at least some track time this year when it's done.

Am I making a mistake and wasting money? Possibly, but I couldn't say with certainty either way.

Better safe than sorry (i.e., oil that stinks worse than a grease dumpster out back of a KFC).

temp went down a little, now I really need brake ducts

These, which most likely yours already has. The base model just comes with black "Z" dummy ones. Luckily, they come fully wired though, so it was a simple one minute job... Literally!

I know it's nothing super major as far as mods are concerned, but I like it. I can't imagine why Nissan couldn't spend the extra couple of dollars to install these on the base model. Kind of dumb if you ask me, but whatever. It was still a cheap, easy mod.

And of course, the GT-R mod that results in an instant 50 hp increase!

Does it not come with that start-stop switch? I guess someone must've switched out mine.

Anyway, I changed my transmission and differential fluid today (Redline MT85 and 75W90). Now the shifts are much smoother.

They do, but a frosted white one that glows orange when powered up.

Good, I was wondering if they came with the harness already installed or not. Figured as much. Thanks!

Ben370 · 06-18-2016, 07:28 PM

Then I bought one with the GTR switch already installed.

I loved those blinking Z emblems when I had a 240Z. Are those difficult to install?

Not at all. Like I said earlier, it literally took me no more than a minute to install both of them, and I wasn't even rushing. Super super easy to swap out.

Pull the fender liner, squeeze the clips and slide it out?

Got an alignment done today on my 2016 sport after a week of having swift springs... unfortunately wasn't able to get back to spec, image below of print out....

No... Like I said, it takes a minute to swap out both units. As in 1 minute. You just barely slide the repeater to one side and pull out. That's it.
