Pretty sure there's some comments on this forum from way back - Nissan's original "magic 370Z oil" was mineral base with some esters added. If you used a generic oil you'd get lifter/VVEL noise. ...

Factory spec is safest. Nissan will have a bunch of lubrication engineers who have settled on the "most correct" viscosity for a wide range of reasons. But as Spooler said there are also regulatory...

Sound deadening is a band-aid for "too much noise created in the first place".

I have an HKS Hi-Power catback. It uses Helmholtz resonators to suppress the drone frequency (there is ZERO drone). ...

There is a post on here by a fussy bastard who's almost as particular as me and he said the HKS Hi-Power has zero drone at any load or RPM point. He's right. HKS have...

FRS grip limit is noticeably lower than a properly tyred Z. The FRS handling balance is perfect for easily-accessible fun, the Z has gobs and gobs of grip, it's MEATY and just sticks to the road...

I would disagree, drone is a single resonant frequency that is dominant.
Volume is not drone. You can have an exhaust that is musical and loud everywhere, that is not drone. I had a really ****...

I banked on the Z35 being a disappointment and bought a 2018 Z34. I'll have minimum 2-3 years of enjoyment, and if the Z35 turns out to be a banger then I can just turbo mine once it's out of...
