Default coolant's

well, i did a search, went back 3 pages, and couldn't find anything, so I figured I would start a thread (hoping that I don't get flamed). I am getting an APS TT installed this week, and was worried about cooling, so I ordered a few things. Ordered a koyo 36mm radiator, nismo thermostat, samco hoses, rear coolant bypass mod, and the twin fan/shroud. Was wondering what coolant or additive to throw in the new set-up. Since I don't anticipate having to drain this stuff again, I figured I would try to find out the best set-up that works. Anyone have any experience in this? Was looking into the royal purple, amsoil, redline, and a few others. Also, I drive the car hard, and live in washington, so the outside temps aren't too bad here even in the summer. Thanks for the help.

some of my turbo z friends just use regular Nissan coolant and put in very little of the Redline water wetter. THey said don't use a lot, just a bit.

hydrazine is performing a test on Evans NPG+. There's a thread in this section - just search for "evans".

Sharif has been using it for some time and it's in my car. It doesn't cool as well but it doesn't overheat as easily either... if that makes sense.
