It's like saying I was just walking along and these two guys jumped out in front of me and told me to give them my money. they started to swing, and I fought back thinking I could win. I KO'd one guy, and the other guy put up a better fight, but I think I still got him.

Now, was he fighting? Yes. Did he start it? No.

So, he was racing. He could have dropepd out and let the other two guys have at it.

I do think the Z gets a bit sluggish when the motor gets hot regardless of oil temps especially on a hot summer day. I don't know if it has to do with fuel, but my oil temps rarely go above 220F. It feels sluggish after a long day of driving (work, errands, etc.).

Anyhow, it is quite enjoyable punching the throttle in 2nd :-)

Thank you for being the problem instead of being the solution.
actually im not any of those. So from what I have seen you post buddy, you apparently win professional track events. you are an experienced professional aftermarket installer, you are also quick to make stupid comments, and believe me that one above isnt going to make you any friends. So everyone meet Kannibul he is a good at everything, and knows it so he posts it on forums.

thats actually a bit extreme for a comparrison. I mean thats being threatened with the small possibility of them just taking your money to the extreme possibilty of them taking your life. Maybe if they asked for your shirt? or a hair clipping?

it does have me curious what you do tardcore maybe first respondent not sure. other than that kannibul he is going to do what he is going to do and take it to PM's if you feel so upset about it and can't help with the oil problem. Those temps sound normal to me from what you're saying. Chances are you won't ever have another cooler explode on you so you might as well get another one only real fix for the problem. Oh and get a used oil anaylisis done at your ext change to check and see if you have major damage/wear from when it happened if not your probably golden.

So because you were already in front of the Civic means it wasnt a race? Wow this is news to me. Any time one car competes with another at high speeds it IS racing. BTW it just sounds like you cant drive.

I work for DHS and I being in the same line of work, I meet a lot of LEO's from different agencies/departments and make friends or just acquaintences. So just because I say I went for a spirited drive its a bad thing? I have seen many people post that same thing on this site. Look at the thread about the stock lsd on this car. cmon people. I think since Im gettin rid of the Z at the end of the year I dont need to post on this site anymore since I know what I need to know. The Z stock isnt meant to be driven hard. And there is a big risk with fixing that problem and I hope my previous issue with the oil cooler has helped some people really think about that risk since its happened to 2 people on this site.

Edit: you all make it seem like im the bad guy here. look at blue's post. look at kannibul's. You guys r hilarious though I must admit

Ever think of what would have happend should a deer have jumped out in the road while you were racing? The whole thing was about your ego and your pride.

If it didn't matter, then you wouldn't have been street racing. Had you gotten into an accident or a ticket, you would have raised all our insurance rates...meanwhile, according to you, this car isn't meant to be raced (so, why did you anyway?) so you're getting rid of it in a year. Way to **** in everyone's foxhole with that potential outcome.

I dont care if you were racing or not. Almost everyone does it when the opportunity presents itself. Its not like he's doing midnight runs guys, cut him a break. Hard to believe none of you guys have ever done a pull one time or another. Anyway thats a different deal, let stay on topic.

Tardcore, I know exactly what you are talking about. It feels like everything is there, but the car just doesnt go anywhere. It doesn't just happen at 260 or 280, it starts to happen almost as soon as your cross 200. I'm pretty sure there is a VVEL map where it begins to pull back power as the temp goes up. Its extremely annoying. Car doesn't rev as fast, doesnt have the same amount of power and just falls flat on its face.

I find the best operating temperature is 180 on the dot. Anything higher than that and the car starts to lose a little umph. Oil coolers are a really important mod for this car

TARDCORE, has a legitimate question, but unfortunately Nissan, and others, will not give him a legitimate answer. You will need an oil cooler to drive the 370Z sports car—like a sports car—and in other situations. Oil temps suck; high oil temps destroy and shorten the life of oil; with the 370Z they intentionally slow the Z down too (hopefully, you will not be in precarious situation when your Z does...like traffic).

And regarding the relationships he may have made and exercises...well, that's just life. More power to him if he knows the authorities and they know him.
