Nissan 370Z Forum  

Why did 370 Z go with Oil temp. guage?

Like sonic370 said previously, Nissan cost cutted any type of oil cooling so they thought well we better show the poor customer how hot his oil is becoming w/no sandwich

he he he! F**K You Nissan!

99% of OEM oil pressure gauges are slow and inaccurate, aftermarket is far better.

TPMS is complete BS and waste of $$$$. This was standardized on passenger vehicles thanks to all the lazy asses that can't check their tire pressure once a month.

Also a cheap Ford Focus comes with the blind spot mirrors and other low end cars have the blind spot indicators which is a standard safety feature. But Nissan...NO!!!!!

Perhaps Nissan assumes that people who buy Z's know how to drive.

My 1984 F-150 has a fuel gauge. It's very cool.

Heck just driving to work will make them climb without oil cooler here in Houston.

Repped because you made me laugh! the only assumption that is safe to make with the general public, is that they are all retarded dumb a$$ who don't know there a$$ from their elbow!

In trade school a lot of the jokes well "shouldn't that code rule be common sense?" answer was always "if people had common sense you wouldn't rules and laws" and then you wouldn't see 90-99% of the crap that goes on! But as you all know theres dumb a$$ out there on a daily basis
