I went in to get my cel taken care of. Came back with this



Not only did they fix my cel but they also took the time to answer my barrage of questions. Straight up GREAT people.

+1 for Hill's Garage

 

Nice Gains!!!

Another Frank, Frank and Suzanne are awesome thread.... so common... I sense a pattern. Looking forward to the Hills meets aready this year

 

We're going to mess around with my car a bit next monday....

Motons on....custom koni's coming off. Also going to put some heavy work into the fenders to get the 315 A6's to fit a bit better on the front.

Nice Gains!

 

Nice gains what mods?

 

Stillen Headers, 200 Cell CNT/ERZ HFC, Stillen Y Pipe, Nismo S-Tune Catback, Stock Airbox w/ K&N Filters, GTM 25 row oil cooler as well (apparently it matters?)

Don't try that setup unless you want a car that sounds like crap. I have a HKS Replica (2.25") + Magnaflow 14385 setup in the garage waiting to be welded and installed. I can't stand the rasp.

 

Damn man motons? Balling...those are probably cost half of what your car is worth ha

Got a hook up? Lol they make a nice c5 setup as well

 

You must have a HR since you said filters. The nismo exhaust sounds like crap?

 

How does the Oil Cooler help for performance gains? There a thread on this?

 

Most HFC + Nismo S Tune = Crap (imo)

Personally, i loved the sound of stock Cat + Nismo S Tune. No Rasp, perfect VQ sound. If I can't get the rasp out of this system, i'll probably go back. +30 ft-lb isn't worth bleeding ears.

I have no idea, ask Frank. I suspect it may stem from the car being sensitive to heat. More importantly, is it worth $550? nope.

 

NEED PIXS!

First time I road around Summit was in a Z with Motons and wide *** Hooisers. Couldn't keep up with an Evo though . Regardless, it was fun!

 

I know the 370Zs had massive oil cooling issues.

$550 for a worry free turn key oil cooler, I guess that sounds about right.

My oil cooler cost me $125ish + other needed parts so about $250-300 total.

That was probably Chuck Edmundson. He's a good guy....he actually wrote on a book worth reading about car handling called "fast car physics." He's a physics professor at the Naval Acadamy...so he knows what he is talking about.

My car is a good but more prepped than his now-a-days. He autocrosses with us as well. He uses little hoosiers.....only 285's .

 

$550 was on the higher end, you can certainly find cheaper ones.

If I were to do it again, I would have done DIY with a bleeder valve. Changing the oil is a ***** without one.

+1 on DIY

 

Pre-Moton and only half the stickers (needed more power so I added more)....on 315's:


Front springs for the motons....going to use the 750lb springs I have in the rear:

 

i hope your spanner wrenches have 12' extensions on them.

For those interested. I'll probably read it over spring break.

Just have to man up a little on the wrenches....

 

well played. hahaha.

 

Sounds like Hill's is where I need to take my Z. Especially after AAM completely botched the tune.

Awesome gains
