My 370z "unicorn"

Winter action again - changed the oil, filter, put a new oil pressure sensor in, as the old one wasn't always precise. Blew one fuse, replaced that too. Next upgrade

Winter action again - changed the oil, filter, put a new oil pressure sensor in, as the old one wasn't always precise. Blew one fuse, replaced that too.

Next upgrade I installed was the servo oil cooler. Not an upgrade that I ever thought about doing, but last time I went to the track for some fun driving, I opened the hood to let the car cool quicker and I noticed my servo oil boiling so apparently althought Z's have servo coolers, they're not big enough.
I bought a universal Mishimoto transmission oil cooler kit: https://www.driftshop.com/universal-...ooler-kit.html and installed it in place of the old one. No problem, not too much hassle - I even managed to do it without removing the front bumper. I do recommend removing it, as it will be much easier - but it's not a must. I then filled with oil, did some air bleeding and now it's good.

I also did some minor adjustment to the handbrake. So, whoever tried to actually use the handbrake, knows that it's pretty dreadful. Just tightening the screw inside the cabin will not resolve the problem. But what will resolve it, is to remove the rear wheels, open the porthole on the disc, and spin the disc until you see a small screw that preloads the brake shoes within the disc. Spread these out until they almost touch the rotor - and then tighten the handbrake to also engage on the first notch. And that's how you get an actual really good working handbrake
