Well, what area do you want? I-10/Beltway, Galleria, other?

wstar · 04-08-2009, 10:16 AM

I don't really care where in town. The further it is the more I get to drive

This is close-ish to me, if you don't like it suggest something else

Works for me. I got Comcox coming out between 8-11 on Saturday to attempt to fix a weird problem. Noon or later work?

Yeah it would have to be afternoon (or later) for me too. I'm supposed to call a dyno place around 11am and see if they're free and try to squeeze myself in there, so my timing around then is kinda up in the air, I might not be outta there till early afternoon.

I bought an S2000 CR back in Nov. Tracked it at TWS twice so far and it works very well, but I got bit by the Z bug back with my S30...might have to look into a 370-hearing good things. Anyone heard if Nissan will be adding oil coolers soon?

epod86 · 04-09-2009, 12:37 PM

If there new vert is any indication, I don't think there will be one until aftermarket makes one, as this certainly wasn't mentioned as a new feature. But based on the volume of bally-hoo-ing about it, should be pretty soon if the parts guys know whats good for 'em. The fact is that road driving doesn't reach problem temperatures, so there isn't really a drive/need for the cooler. Hence why the aftermarket guys should be jumping on this soon, because it seems to be a necessary mod for track days.

Back to topic: Looks like a nasty weather system for this weekend (poor egg hunting kids) and its not much fun to look at cars in the rain, unless you like traction protraction

Think we're moving this back a week?

Yeah, in all honesty, most drivers on the street probably aren't going to have oil cooling issues with the new Z. Houston in particular is hard on car temps though, what with our summer heat and oppressive humidity. I'm still considering adding an aftermarket kit on mine, just because I'm in Houston, I tend to drive considerably harder than average, and I might do a few track events down the road. Same basic reasons I'm also planning to upgrade my brake lines and fluid, which is again not really necessary in most cases.

Yeah sounds like it. Maybe next weekend.
