Yes nice meeting y'all love the cutoff and thanks for making my nismo look bland victor!!

scruffydog 05-23-2010 03:59 AM

I'm missing my Z right now, I'm in Hawaii right now...I got to test drive it for 10 mins before I went to bed at 1:30am in the morning after putting my oil cooler in. The car was out of commission for 3 days. It's now super cool....almost too cool....the oil temp is running below 180°. I can't seem to get it over it, but that's also because last night was pretty cold night.

Anyways, I hope to meet up with you guys next week. It's been awhile.

How was the run today over at Lake Berryessa by the way for the people that went? I missed out. =(

AndyZ 05-23-2010 04:04 AM

that's good to know man, i was trying to get it up there, but it stayed well below 180...i was like uhhh....is this right?!? haha Sweet! Good to know.

1GR8Z34 05-23-2010 05:23 AM

^^ mine goes to 200-210 on the street everytime i open my cut-out and run it for at least 10-20min, so i should get me an oil cooler too lolz

AndyZ 05-23-2010 02:18 PM

For me i think 160 is best temp

SE 05-23-2010 03:11 PM

~180 is ideal operating temperature. Most thermostatic plates and oil thermostats open up around this temperature. ~240 is considered maximum "safe" temperature. Any higher than that and I would consider investing in an oil cooler. I think 260 is when limp mode kicks in on our cars.

I wouldn't recommend driving hard if your car isn't near the ~180 range. Even with a small oil cooler and a thermostatic plate, it will be difficult to fully get up to operating temperature on cold days/nights.

1GR8Z34 05-23-2010 04:01 PM

Mine should be fine then, dont need oil coolers for now...lolz

AndyZ 05-23-2010 04:03 PM

1GR8Z34 05-23-2010 04:20 PM

I agree...180 is the ideal temperature. The mocal one opens up at 180 (some say you can custom it to open at 200). And even when the thermostat closes it doesn't closes 100%, some oil still goes to the oil cooler which leaves the car not reaching the ideal 180 temp, which isn't good either. But I didn't think in California would get so cold. Anyways, more info's on the oil temp thread.

Anyone here interested to go Tracking this June 26 at Infineon? It's a NASA event.
