I ended up using Royal Purple and its nice, temp stayed relatively stable with no oil cooler. It got to 220 at one piont, then cooled off like 10 degrees...and I was still driving. Now I'm not saying its a miracle motor oil because I was maintaining a decent speed (80mph) but it was nice to see the degrees go down not up

Thanks for the response. I am going to use something else later on, after the car accumulates some more use. Royal Purple will for sure be on the list. I added an oil cooler(Z1 25 row) before it shipped over. This area has so many Stau's :)

So it has been a while since anyone posted on this. How is everyone? News from me is that my car is unfoortunately in the shop right now because it won't start. The Intelligent Key System light came on and now my car won't even get to the "On" position. But I keeping my head up because I decided that I am going to get some new tires, new brakes, Whiteline Sways or Hotchkis, Eibach or Tanabe Springs and a short shifter. I want to get ready for this summer! I will also be adding some Berk HFCs and the Z1 Oil cooler, I just got them and haven't been able to install them since my car is in the shop.

All good
 

This is the first time I've seen this thread. Any news on your car? I just got my SS brake lines today and I have a set of Red Stuff, Eibach sways and rear end links on the way. Getting the Z ready for the ring in July.

I finally got news about my car. Nissan will pay for it and they just ordered the part. Ive had no Z for over a month and it sucks. I miss that car especially now since the weather is pretty decent. Hopefully by June I can have it back and I can concentrate on buying more **** for it. Been holding back because I dont know if I have to pay for anything.

Hello German 370Z's just found this thread today. My car gets off the boat the 25th and can't wait to drive it again.

do you guys ever do any meet ups or track days?

Since I've been here we haven't really met up. But once I get my car back up and running I think people should. I also don't know who actively looks on this thread. So it's hard to tell if any of this gets seen, since there is very little update.

Keeping Track
 

I' always check the thread plus I get emails when you guys post in it. I agree we should do a meet. I will be taking the Z to the ring in July with my car club. Once we come up with the exact day I'll post it in case you guys can make it.

Cool. Hopefully, my car will be out soon since I want to take it to the ring soon as well.

Off-topic: Getting emails on things like this irritate me. Kind of like those Facebook groups. Too many emails...

My car docks this friday but due to the holiday on Monday and customs they said the soonest I can get it is next friday.

I have my swaybars, brake upgrade, oil cooler and Uprev sitting at my house. So straight down from Bremerhaven to the auto shop to get it ready to go. I'll be down for a ring trip in July. I plan on trying to make it to a track 2-3 times this year work permitting.

That's bad *** man, cool paint job by the way. How do you like the whiteline sways? I ended up getting the Eibach set up with the whiteline rear end links. Upgraded the brakes and I'm waiting on this 3G's my state owes me so I can get the oil cooler and my coilovers. Did you tracked the car back home?

Good to know your car is getting here soon. I can't wait to see it in person, that paintjob is unique.

Chris-- How does the Eibach sway set feel? I think I might order them with some GF210 Tanabe Springs.

I'm not sure about the sways yet as they are sitting in my apartment. haha I have three mods to put on the weekend i get it back. Brakes, sways and oil cooler. I haven't seen the car in over two years (including the paint wheels and audio system). So I'm pretty excited.

Corona, the handling is noticeble sharper, I haven't taken it to the autobahn yet to see how it feels at speed. I have the front set up to the stiffes settinga and the rear to the middle setting. When I take it to the ring I will set up the rear to the stiffes setting and let you guys know how it feels.

Chris- Thanks! Can't wait to get them myself.

pwr-You haven't seen your car in two years? That's crazy! I haven't seen my car (in the shop) for like 6 weeks and I'm missing it!
