Jason, VLSD is not defeatable but I never found it to be intrusive (read: it doesn't work) aside from the flashing light being distracting. The light in your video at 1:13 is something else though. I would check the manual and see what warning light is located there.

That orange light is the ELSD. If you have time to look at it during a run it is the traction control light flashing, which is why people incorrectly think you can't fully disable traction control. The red light is the rev limiter.

I was pretty careful to not shut the car off hot - letting it continue to run to circulate oil and coolant until temps were down to ~205.
Went to do some front swaybar stuff, and found an explosion of smurf blood on the front undertray. Or maybe it was coolant. It was all over the lower part of the radiator and frame rails too. I know this car has a hard time staying cool, but this is just ridiculous. C'mon Nissan! |

Even when I was running my Z with the stock radiator I never had this issue. If I was you I'd be checking for a bad hose connection,etc. Also make sure you refill your system as this looks like it might be enough to actually cause you to be low on coolant.

My autocross runs this past weekend were in mid to upper 90 temps (3rd heat) and my oil temps never exceeded 220 degrees. We did 6 runs too which is unheard of here in the Colorado Region.

It was evident this had all come out the coolant overflow tube. Perhaps I'll top off with some Redline water wetter. Maybe it had been overfilled a little from the factory?

My car was showing outside temps of 102 at this past Sundays event. Oil and water temps all stayed normal and I shut it down between runs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've seen a few guys running 275/35/19 or 295/30/19 all the way around on the stock sport rims but has anyone tried a 285/35/19? Bfgoodrich is showing a 285/35/19 now on tire rack and with 18's being so hard to find at a decent cost I was debating running some torn up old sport wheels instead. Just curious how these would fit under the front?
