Only watched like a minute. Dude sounds like an idiot. Zomg, 205* oil. Burn down Nissan hq.

That vid makes me smile. Pulling timing so bad at 220 that you shouldn't race anything LOL. 220 temp on the dyno still makes about 280+rwhp for most.

I think it's funny he bought a car without doing research. Nissan even admits the issue

I didn't care because of my plans for the car

The ECU does like lower temps it seems, but meh that dude is crazy. The sustainable ideal temp under hard conditions w/ a cooler installed seems to be more like 220-250-ish for most. I'd say as long as you can keep it under 260 you don't really have a big problem.

Yeah that part was hilarious

At 230 you shouldn't even drive the car, just leave it in the garage.

red6spd · 08-05-2011, 12:21 PM

Glad I can make everyones day, it shore made mine. Makes me wanna get the temps up around 230ish and see what I can lose to.

Same here. Let's see what I can beat with my temps at 230:

-Honda Civic= no way
-Toyota Yaris= not a chance
-Reliant Robin= not even if there are turns involved

NFSZ86 · 08-05-2011, 12:35 PM

If they had told me the car only could go up 45 mph I would still buy the dam thing I love it lmao at dude

rebe945 · 08-05-2011, 12:36 PM

Oil temp issue at 220? What an idiot. Rattles, I have none.

cjr1881 · 08-05-2011, 12:39 PM

What's wrong with that guy? It isn't warmed up until it gets to 220.

Jamaica · 08-05-2011, 12:42 PM

That guy sounds like a noob
