Dynamic Turtle Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 On a more substantive note I was a bit surprised to see the oil temps hitting 110 during town driving. Guess its better a 3 lap sprints than 20 lap slots on trackdays?! Quote
GMballistic Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Very nice. Oil temp does seem high though unless it was a lot of start/stop traffic and a fairly warm day. Quote
370Ad Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 It does seem high especially as I believe WinkJ said they come with an oil cooler. The car is limited to below 6k at 135 degrees and 3.5k at 140 degrees so you will never kill the engine. 1 Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Understood. I just wonder how many laps it'll last before hitting 135c. Looking forward to finding out in due course.... Quote
Rock_Steady Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Looks like a symphony of evil in black. Superb stuff! 1 Quote
GT4 Zed Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Heat management has been a particular issue with the 370z so if you plan to use it properly I will invest in a large oil cooler and oil pan/ spacer to enhance the cooling capacity. Quote
370Ad Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I did 8 at Combe before I hit 135 dude. It is a fast circuit though. Quote
Grundy Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I did 8 at Combe before I hit 135 dude. It is a fast circuit though. That's what I would say if Grundy was gaining 1 Quote
WINKJ Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Mine hasn't ever risen near to that. Even after spirited driving in the heat (when it was warm last summer). And yes they do have oil cooler too so that is suprising! 2 Quote

That's what I would say if Grundy was gaining Ha I was up with the Charged boys at the start. Think I cooked it trying to hold off Andy lol Eight whole laps? Yeah and they are small laps at Combe. That was bone stock though. Now I have some breathing mods and it's been given some decent oil, it might be better. Will have to let you know in May 1 Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Wiink are you running a 458 as a weekend toy?! A friend's father has one and gave us a demo. All I can say is that it makes the Nismo sound like Louie Spence, absolute rolling thunder that thing. Also thnking about having the badges and handles painted black like yours when I can be bothered... Quote
