dajw Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Dodgy knock off oil cooler I reckon Haha Adam! The oil cooler is excellent, just not where it was fitted on my car where it was excellent as an intake and HX warmer! 1 Quote
dajw Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 I spoke with Jez earlier today when I collected the car about moving things forward with the charge temp monitoring. It is presently not possible with UpRev as the intake temp and coolant temp tables appear to be one and the same. (Or at least, they are on Josh's car). I asked about EcuTek, with a "I'm reluctant, 'cos I don't want to go through a full re-tune and licence' but it is something I will consider if UpRev aren't going to be able to manage this. We'll see what the costs are :-S. Eek. For now, the tune is slackened off a bit around the low rpm area where there was occasional trouble, and the oil cooler is in a box, cleaned and ready to go. 1 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Well I'm really hoping uprev can sort the tables out as I've already paid jez to fit the sensor in the inlet manifold !! 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Dont see why uprev cant sort this for you Quote
dajw Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Well a spirited drive home and not once did the intake temps go above 19 degrees, oil at 95 degrees. No knocking, no dodgy noises (except the end links). I think I made a good choice so far… more data as I keep driving. Quote

nissanman312 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) what was they before ?ive just been out mine was around 35 40 your not trying dom Edited August 6, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Is yours reading at the manifold though Nic? Where as doms reading pre charger .... Quote
dajw Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 True Josh… before they would start high 20s and move to low 40s *pre charger*. I'd say this was 10-20 degrees above ambient. Now it's 4-6 degrees above ambient. Quite the drop! Quote

dajw Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Haven't got oil over 95 yet. The oil pan spacer seems to help. Quote
nissanman312 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Hmm interesting You say the 2012 model has some sort of cooler already? Quote
dajw Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Hmm interesting You say the 2012 model has some sort of cooler already? 2012 onwards yeah — it has some kind of heat exchange between oil and coolant. It was made standard from 2012. I understand that isn't any good for tracking the car, but for enthusiastic driving its fine. Edited August 6, 2015 by dajw Quote

dajw Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Zero issues to report a few days in. No knocking (that I can detect). Not heat issues, temps still nice and low at close to ambient so that drop in intake temps must have helped greatly. Basically the car is back to the level of performance and confidence that it was at before this years' messing about, but with a better gearbox, diff and suspension. Yay! Quote

dajw Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 I've asked a mate to share the clip he took of it. Will post back when I have it. Closed roads, controlled conditions etc. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Closed roads, controlled conditions etc. Pigs do fly! :lol: Quote

dajw Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Here is a sound recording made by a passenger. Turn it up, headphones on! https://soundcloud.com/dajw/370z-with-ark-grip-motordyne-resonated-test-pipes 2 Quote
dajw Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Boring status update: the air intake temps are consistently reporting 4 degrees above ambient. Even after a jolly good thrashing. Whohoo! Plus, that diff in the wet — whohoooo! Lots of controllable fun! Quote
