Best looking single out there minus the ARC.

Thanks for the PM KingBaby! Appreciate the link!

 

anytime man...

definetly the AP is nice!

vids asap...

Driving has totally changed for me now. I'm always in sixth gear now to keep it quite during normal transit to areas so I can punch it! I can't ride through the gears no more. It was the thing to do with a slightly modded exhaust. Having got a 3" in my life, it's now all about trying to do the following...

spit fire out my exhaust!

take off!

downshift better!

shift from 1st to 6th like a BOSS!

practically shiet on every diesel truck I see!

get to redline as much as ******* possible!

Someone at work jsut heard the new exhaust for the first time and had some jokes....going to make a better flyby in better spot so that I can share this experience with you folks...

 

Like a BOSS!

 

Video please! King, I've been reading up on oil and I might take the Nismo to 9k before I switch to synthetic. Any suggestions? I read up that the Dino oil that we use in our car before the switch helps seat the rings really well. Thanks man and the car looks great!

 

^^^You've been using non synthetic oil????

 

I switched to Mobile 1 0w40 European Formula about 9800 miles ago. Around 25k on the clock was the first oil change I did myself. This will be my third oil change with mobile 1.

It's expensive and I do my own oil change every 3800 to 4500 along with K&N oil filter. Do I feel a difference? Nope! It idles better than stock i.e. smoothier. Other than that I haven't had my oil tested, which I should.

 

Have you done a blackstone lab test yet? I'm still going to leave the Dino oil in till the 3rd or 4th oil change.

 

No not a yet...

What is your mileage right now?

 

3700...It'll be driven alot summertime or in May for sure! I already ordered a Blackstone lab test kit. When I got it had 700 miles and I guess most of those miles were driven HARD. Its still running the Dino oil, but I might switch to either Motul 300v or maybe Castrol edge.

 

I switched over to Amsoil at 4 kmi. It is true that Dino oil helps seat piston rings and break in an engine. I personally would switch to Synthetic on your next oil change & not wait.

I also switched my Diff fluid to Amsoil. The only thing left for me to do is drain and switch over the MT fluid to Amsoil.

 

Don't you have to mix fluids to get the proper weight?

I've been running Royal Purple since I bought the car (5w-30) and K&N filter w/every oil change. What are the benefits of going with 0w-40?

 

I heard the 0w-30 is good from the engine tech threads! I'm still deciding on the oil and weight because now that I'm in Arizona its going to be an oven here every summer.

 

Not to thread jack but I run 5w-30 engine oil.

MT you can run GL-4 75-90wt This is what I will be using. Other's have been using it.

No worries info is info

Most are in the dark about things like this. Once oil is changed frequently and on time. It then comes down to preference!

I'm on my phone but along with the HR oil thread I had a few other links about oil

Sorry if I was thread jacking King.

 

+1

 

One last thing to post, I was just wondering if anybody with a Nismo has gotten a blackstone lab tests.

 

I have a kit in the garage. I had planned to use it at the last oil change but I had my performance shop do it while there for modifications. So I never got to keep a sample to send out. I only change my oil once a year. I just don't drive the car enough to justify doing it twice a year.

 

Well summer is coming up. I expect to see lots of action from all you guys affected by shitty weather...

And don't worry about thread jacking. Inputs on anything Nismo Z car related is a go!

 

For show! Videos and dyno runs in the summer @ Vivid Racing!
