Saw a few 370s but not many!

We should arrange a little meet up! Saturday i'll be opening up my headlights and doing a clear lens conversion with halos + painting the housing black so i'll be busy then

I was planning on going, but then the weather rolled in and I thought for sure it was going to be called off - I just bailed.

I think my buddy w/his GTR or Hellcat was there.

Yeah we thought it would be canceled but it only sprinkled a bit for like 10 min.
I saw maybe 3 GTRs there so one of them was probably your buddy! Think there was 1 hellcat

Ah, it poured over by my house.

Next time I'll go if I can. Are they once a month or every Saturday?

I heard once a month. It did rain like crazy over here in Chandler too but once we headed north it wasn't so bad.

Quick question fellas. What are your oil temps like during this time of year? Particularly summer? I'd rather get some real world feedback before I make the jump. I know Nissan supposedly added a "band aid" to keep the oil temps cool. Just wondering too since the car will see 20 min sessions 4x during a NASA event.

I know I'll be using very good oil and filter, but since the car will be under warranty, I'd rather not tinker with it and add an oil cooler until the warranty runs out.

I have a 2013 (with Nissans cheap oil cooler) and I run 200-218ish during the Summer. About 200 the other seasons.

It's my DD though.

I run a Setrab 34 row cooler. Most people don't use coolers that big until you start getting into forced induction. I use it because of ARIZONA hah. Usually im around 180 with my cooler, maybe 200 if im stopped in traffic during the peak afternoon hotness. I haven't tracked the car yet but i've done some hard 20-45min canyon runs and i've been around 220-230 max.

trustr888 · 04-27-2015, 05:28 PM

Thanks for the feedback! That's not too bad at all.

Haboob · 04-28-2015, 09:26 AM

Jen, what time/place were you thinking? Thursday around 6:30/7:00 seems to be the best time for us.

Actually, I am not going to be able to make it. I was told today that I have to work OT (until almost 11), because some contractor failed to show up Monday evening and rescheduled Thursday.
