Once you've had a taste of power, you always want more.

Guys with slower colors don't know.

Damn, beat to it.

KingZee 08-05-2011 02:39 PM

LOL I missed that

Isamu 08-05-2011 04:03 PM

omg... wow... he even sounds like a tool.. and did you read his responses... :bowrofl:

elmz 08-05-2011 05:05 PM

He's complaining that it overheats at Qualcomm drag races, an 1/8th mile....

MuSh 08-05-2011 06:01 PM

crap. now i gota sell my car cause cool kid on youtube said to.

cjr1881 08-05-2011 06:04 PM

I uh... posted a comment on his youtube video. wasn't very nice I suppose and think I used the word "idiot" a few times. I felt like telling him, "do you know how many people are laughing at you about this?" but I didn't. oh and on a serious note. I have felt that I have not had full power unless I got the temp up near 220. I also assume that 220 is the optimal temp we should be running at because it is in the middle of the gauge and that would make sense to me... but the dude that made that video thought 200 was hot and that is on the low side of the gauge. lol I think he was also in 6th gear doing like 35 and was shifting at 3k for some reason. If you haven't watched the video you definitely have to. He starts crying about how fast the temp gets to 200 and just stays there. that's a good thing buddy.

Optimal oil temp. slightly differs depending on the type of oil that you're using but I believe the best range is 190-200F

cjr1881 08-05-2011 06:55 PM

hey after watching his video I stumbled upon even more idiots doing 0-60 and they are shifting at like 3500. ya know, I thought when I bought this car with it being a bit more expensive that idiots wouldn't be able to afford it so this wouldn't happen but apparently there are just as many idiots with money. or at least they convince the salesman at the dealership to let them test drive the car.

cossie1600 08-05-2011 06:59 PM

Why are people obsessed with oil temperature? This is 2011. We have modern motors and oil that can handle way more than 250F. Oil are more efficient at the 2xx range than they are at 180F. I don't know why we get the cries over it. It's like asking for standards from 1980 to be applied in 2011. Weird.

I know Nissan's fix though, replace the oil temp gauge with another dummy one

hey that thread is way back in 2010 and the videos on it were removed, and the youtube video was a few days ago. I guess it is the same guy but he never says anything about temps being that high on his video...:confused:

Isamu 08-05-2011 07:14 PM

the video was up as of this afternoon

People were asking who the video was by so I shared.
He has a number of posts on here complaining about his 'high' oil temps of 220 and what Nissan needs to do for him to remedy the problem. Guess even till today he complains.

cjr1881 08-05-2011 11:07 PM

ahhh.... I see. lol
Hey I know this thread got started to have some fun on that guys expense but I was out for a drive tonight and I got to thinking. I hover around 220 usually and up to 235-240 max so far on the street. Not concerned at all and I don't plan to go to a track until maybe next year when I get some big 6 piston brakes but I got to thinking. I had an '04 RSX type-s and there was a problem with 3rd gear grinding intermittently and everyone was complaining on the ClubRSX forum just like they do on here about oil temps. Guys would take it to the dealership and then they couldn't duplicate it and they would just send them on their way. I was having it happen to me. It wasn't frequent but it was rather annoying when it did happen because it wouldn't go into gear as usual and it'd grind and pop out. I decided to get some royal purple manual transmission fluid and see if that did the trick. It helped a great deal but it would happen every once in a great while. I had a BG service flush done and replaced with more RP MTF. After that, it never happened again. So my point is... that maybe some premium fluids might solve this problem without going out and spending a grand on an oil cooler. I have the stock oil in the car and am getting an oil change with RP thursday. I am going to add some RP coolant additive in the meantime to see if it makes a difference and I will see if the new full synthetic oil makes a difference also. Rather then people spending a decent amount on a part they may not need I will let you know if the fluids do the trick because one way for auto manufacturers to cut costs without sacrificing the integrity of the vehicle is by using cheap fluids and lubricants. We spent a good amount on these cars and mods, it'd be stupid to not have the best fluids in them. oh, and P.S. there was an article in Car and Driver I believe how they wrecked their test car because the brakes went out on the track. They upgraded to the sport package brakes and it helped but still went out. The brake fluid was boiling, so they put better fluid with a higher boiling point in and it solved the problem. More evidence that they cut costs on these cars by not using the best fluids. Just my 2 cents... I hope it helps.

I don't think the "problem" is the oil, although the Ester oil from Nissan doesn't handle heat as well as other oils. You will still hit limp mode with other oils.
