Im actually very excited for you for the new exhaust!!
Lovely winter prep and protection, I sill need to do mine
Surprised you manage to do circa 5k per year
It seem to go 200 to 300 faster than most supercar do 100 to 200
Did you see the side by side with a vlogges Veyron? Initially from around 30/40mph for a good while really close race but the Tuatara had to short shift until well over 150mph, then the driver could begin to reach full throttle.
ICE > EV
They'll fit easy. x4 18 tyres will fit in a Z and 20' wheels have a much small diameter.
Use plenty of cardboard and rags to protect the wheels and interior.
Storming acceleration, actually hear the driver plant his foot fully after 200mph.
Engine makes 400hp extra switching to e85 race fuel WOW!!
That will sit for a good while yet.
Since owning my 350z I've used Fuchs (2 grades), Castrol, Shell, Motul and finally settled on this one maintains good oil pressure, not too high not to low and engine feels nice and lively without consuming too much either.
I wouldn't go with this particular 5w30, as the VQ35DE doesn't have extended intervals. I'd opt for a C2/C3 variant instead.
A5/B5 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use at extended drain intervals in high performance gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines designed to be capable of using low friction low viscosity oils with a High temperature / High shear rate (HTHS) viscosity of 2.9 to 3.5 mPa.s. These oils are unsuitable for use in some engines. Consult owner manual or handbook if in doubt.
The A/B class's A5/B5 oils have lower HTHS viscosities, which means that they provide better fuel economy but they may not provide adequate protection in engines that are not designed for them.
Its worth noting we haven't yet seen the production model and looking back at the 350z and GTR prototypes, this should give an indication of the progress yet to be revealed.
Really nice video as per, ALL UK 350z footage is gold!!
What's next performance wise?
I've recently fitted a lightweight crank pulley, done a fair few hundreds miles of mix driving with no issues. Engine now revs out noticeably stronger.
Stunning pictures!!
You'll be chuffed if and when you opt for a rear diffuser of sort I reckon. Will hunker the rear down visual inline with the front and sides.
