Finally had some time to install most everything. Moved the motorcycles around so that the Nismo would fit.

First thing I did was to drain the oil. And install my oil pan spacer.

Had my 4 legged inspector watching me remove the front bumper.
Started to install my 34 row oil cooler.
Ran into a problem with the panel on top of the bumper.

Rusty · 02-14-2012, 10:19 PM

I had to trim (cut) the panel back some so that the oil lines could be connected and routed. And my tools of choice.

Started to route the oil lines to the filter plate. Then found it best to install the Stillen G3 cai first before routing the oil lines. As the oil lines have to pass in front of the air filters.

Got the oil lines routed. So next up was my RED START button. I did this along with my TWM short throw shifter. I figure since I have to take the console apart. I would do both at the same time. And to finish it off. I got a stainless PWJDM shift knob. God, is that thing heavy. I can use it for self-defense. LOL

The last thing I installed this week was my Z1 power steering cooler. Had pic's, but I think my 'puter ate them. As I can't find them. I still have to install my Z1 stainless clutch line. But I think I'm going to do this when my F.I. headers and CBE come in. I would have move room to work with.

Welcome to the forum.

An extra quart of oil. The Z likes to heat the oil up when you track them. With the spacer and 34 row Z1 oil cooler. My Z takes 7 quarts of oil now. Read through some of the posts on here. You will see oil temps on the Z are high. When the temps get to 280F. The car goes into limp mode. The engine won't rev over 3500 rpms (I believe), until the oil cools off.

Here's are video from my trackday at Pittsburgh International Raceway. It's from session 1, where I come up on the Viper that crashed.

Rusty · 05-17-2013, 01:27 AM

Pittsburgh international? Looks like beaver run. Been awhile since I been out. Did they change the name? Hated this track, to flat for me. I need hills and banks like mid ohio. Good vid, nice car by the way

FYI was only on bikes, not cars.

Yea, it's Beaverun. New owners, new name, same track. I've done trackdays there with my RC51 a few years back.
