  1. I used MLR 10w50 when I was using the V6. No oil cooler, never had any problems.

     

    Standard grade oil I was getting low oil pressures when it was hot (I hot lapped if the opportunity was there), on the off chance I tried the thicker oil before putting a cooler on and it was fine so kept running it. 

  2. Welded diff

    Hydro 

     

    But the biggest down fall in drifting a Z in my opinion is the standard lock, sucks ass. 

     

    I use a FATUK kit. Better than wisefab and not as expensive. 

     

    Just realised how long ago this post was made, doh. 

  3. I've just put coilovers on my 350z and when I go to put the hubs on full lock they don't stay there(up off the ground), it doesn't full self centre... I'm pretty certain my last 350z, after installing coilovers, didn't do that. 

     

    I can't remember if it does it both ways, I'd have to check when I'm back at the unit tomorrow. 

     

    Any idea what could cause it? 

     

    Yes coilovers are on properly. 

    It's not stupidly low.

     

  4. I tried before I fixed the rad and removed the thermostat with removing the bonnet to aid the heat getting out of the engine bay but it still did it.

     

    I haven't tried since. When I'm at big tracks it kind of did it but not as bad, it was probably the start of the leak in the radiator maybe?

     

    I've been thinking of drilling holes in my front bumper behind the reg plate for when I'm drifting to help airflow. Then put my reg plate back on driving about then no one will see big holes lol.

     

    I've bled it alot at the weekend, the expansion tank isn't losing any water and I'm getting hot air when I should.

     

    Next time I'll be drifting will be on 31st on a proper track. I might have a quick test the day before or the end of this week.

     

    It's only really the time the overheating happens... when I drift.

  5. Where I practice no not really - its pretty much a kidney layout.

    The track track where I play is a big track, alot more airflow 4th/3rd gear.

     

    Ill keep trying to bleed it out. There is a pipe that goes from the front of the engine drivers side to the passengers side, that looks like it could hold air very easily... No idea how to try and bleed that out!

     

    Ive asked a couple of people on my Facebook and theyre saying airlock also.

     

    How do I know I have truely got rid of all the air? Seems like I only find out when I go drifting lol...
