Nothing good is going to be cheap. Just the way it is. All their stuff they test themselves and beat the heck out of it.

Enjoy

Took my car for a spin tonight. The brakes work excellent. I had 3 deer jump out in front of me. I stopped 15 ft. before them, and I was cooking along. LOL

Spooler

LOL,

Everybody needs a good laugh these days.

Car is still doing great. Coolant temps are around 194 deg in 95 deg weather. Oil temps are at 170 deg. The only time oil temps get higher is if I am on the interstate for an extended period of time. As soon as I get off, they come right back down. Oil pressure at hot idle is 49psi. Nismo oil pump is just doing its thang.

I will be at Z Nationals on Saturday Sept. 28th at Z1 if you want to see the car in person.

Coolant pressure has been a topic of discussion. I can tell you by watching my Emtron display that the coolant pressure varies on when the thermostat opens and closes. My car naturally has a max coolant pressure of 25psi when using 12psi of boost at 8k rpms. It does the exact same thing at 23psi of boost. The pressure does vary if the thermostat is open or closed. When the car is cold I can see 19psi just cruising around. Once the thermostat opens, it drops down to 12-15 psi of coolant pressure. After a run, it is 12psi of pressure. I know one other person that drilled his thermostat, basically removed the guts, and his are only 12psi but he has no thermostat. That's fine for a drag car but not good for a streetcar. That's one of the things you need to do if you have copper headgaskets. They don't like high coolant pressure. We really need a coolant by-pass like I run on my 04.5 Dodge Dually with a 5.9 diesel to limit coolant pressure. Back in the old days they would clip the water pump fins to help with this. That's old school stuff.

I know folks are waiting to see what I do. I have just been very busy. I will get at it eventually.

Spooler

I went for a little drive today. The car is just stupid fun.

Glad to hear that you are finally able to consistently enjoy the car after all the ups and downs you've had with it.

I got it right this time. The subframe mods and going to an auto 3.3 diff with a tuned OS Giken LSD is working wonders. No more one wheel peels like I was having with the off the shelf 3.69 OS Giken. I need to add more boost in the upper rpms in 2nd and 3rd. I just haven't had time to tune it in.

redondoaveb

Glad you're enjoying the 3.3 and tuned lsd. One of these days, I might be able to enjoy mine too
