Getting close to 3k on the clock so my first oil change isn't far off. Will wait until the oil cooler gets here and have to dump the black stuff anyways. Already have couple jugs of Mobil 1 on standby!

Finishing up my Stillen SC install. With luck I should be able to fire the beast up TOMORROW. Shooting for 450rwhp. The tune will happen next Saturday at Z1.

What's the optimal oil temp for a Z? Even on the drive through 30+ weather to Alberta, I didn't get much more than a bit higher than 92ish.

A week ago I hit a touch over 120c in a short hop down Deerfoot. Granted it was 33c outside but it was enough to give me pause.

Though I drove to red deer a couple days ago and never hit more than about 92. Though it was only 22c out.

In any case without knowing what kind of summer we are going to have I'd rather be prepared and have the cooler than regret it and have to order one. Plus I'd like the car to see at least some track time this year when it's done.

Am I making a mistake and wasting money? Possibly, but I couldn't say with certainty either way.

Murica confused by your numbers.

92 isn't bad. 90-110is my operating temps. Altho in the mid low 20's I hit 120-130on the dragon. Will tell you how I was driving lol

In stop n go I'll go over 110 mid summer in toronto. Your car will pull timing over 100 and you will really notice after 110

Just got back from cars and coffee. Saw my first ford GT. Gorgeous cars. Sorta sad that we saw more ferraris than Z's though. Whole thing is on snapchat (Mike-GZ) if anyone wants to see. I'll upload some photos and videos later from my dslr.

Installed the GT-R start button and OEM fender repeaters. No tools at all and it only took about 5 minutes to do, including digging them out of the packages. Will post a couple pics when I get home from work tonight... Naturally.

Default Fender Repeaters?

What's a fender repeater? Surely something else I need to buy!
