Lol, I just got back from Nissan to grab some OEM ester oil. Told me they don't even sell it in quarts there anymore. They recommend I go to Walmart across the street and get Castrol 0w30 or Mobil 1 0w40

My initial thought was... Blackstone results show that using 0w40 has shown less wear. Especially on forced induction. But, then I thought about the gallery gasket issue. Maybe using 0w40 was bumping up the oil pressure when there was a failing/failed gallery gasket and thus... seeing less metals in the oil. Anywhooo... was a thought I had.

I have to warm up my car for 10-15 minutes before I can go out driving... oil pressure at idle is at 120psi with 0w40.

My oil pressure cold at idle with Mobile 1, 0w40 is between 105 and 110. Warm, it's around 35.

So this is going down right now! Z I is getting corner balanced, suspension tuned and mapped. Hopefully @WRteknica will be shaking her down this weekend.

I didn't know you still had a Z!

So effing exciting!! Someone needs to video your reaction when you finally get the keys back and take it for that first spin. I can already see that huge smile plastered across your face

Door handles for the 350 arrived from Z1. I previously installed some I grabbed from Amazon. They were just horrible. Plastic crap. Was like scratching your finger nails on a chalkboard when opening the door. Im an idiot trying to cheap out on door handles on a Nismo.

I don't think we're getting any more sticking snow this season, so I put the summer tires/wheels back on.

Dropped my car off at the shop this morning. Nothings wrong but the PO said he never flushed the brake fluid so I am having them check everything and will likely end up flushing the brake and clutch fluid. Anything specific I should have them check?!

Edit:
Well, things went pretty well with the inspection and they came back with what I was expecting:

Post purchase Inspection
Notes:
Initial inspection reveals vehicle in great condition . Brake fluid tests for high moisture content. Recommend flushing at this time.
Vehicle is also due for a fuel induction cleaning . This service removes carbon from the valves and intake as well as cleans the throttle body.
Time/Mileage also shows differential service and manual transmission service due at this time .
