The more I track this car, the more dissapointed I get. It has huge potential, but so many stupid little issues that completely screw it right off the bat. Between oil temps, fuel starvation, and this ice mode issue, the car needs a pretty substantial amount of reliability mods before it can truly be a good track car, even in nearly stock form. Thinking about selling the car after this season is over now.

Fusz, could you forward this to Nissan Corporate? Thanks so much.

Mike, sorry to change the subject, but what's ur opinion about the OS Giken vs the Carbonetic LSD. Based on streetability and track performance, which is the best??? Just for clarification, I drive my Z mostly on the road with other people coming and do spend many weekends on the track. I was leaning toward the OS Giken, but after seeing ur review and other comments, I'm reconsidering. What should I choose????

Both are great options, but after driving the Berk Technology 135i with the OS Giken, I would probably lean that way. Performance wise they are pretty comparable. Both are extremely street-able. The downfall to the Carbonetic is that it requires quite a bit of maintenance. Fluid must be changed after each track day or every 3000 miles, and you MUST use Carbonetic gear oil. So I would say both are excellent performers and excellent for daily driven cars, but the OS Giken is a little more user friendly.
