Well MCR have put a solid 600km on their new Z already figuring out how it goes and what needs improvement and a list is already drawn up.

First up is full coilover replacements from Endless. These Endless Zeal coilovers offer full front and rear height asjustability as well as damper adjustment. Once on, the suspension is tweaked to MCR’s specifications. Enkei GTC01 wheels in 18×9.5+38 front and 18×10+22 rear sizes wrapped in Yokohama NEOVA tires are fitted also to complete the footwork modifications.

During hard driving, MCR has noted that the engine oil temp climbs rapidly. If it reaches 135°C the ECU lowers the rev limit to 5900 rpm temporarily. To combat this MCR worked with long time partner ARC to come up with an engine oil cooler. A rear differential oil cooler kit is also planned. A Z33 Nismo LSD completes the rear diff work.

That's 275 degrees F on a pretty much stock car.

Discuss.
