Cluster comes with 147Km on odo. Just goes to show how far wound back most cars are that are sold here (assuming fairly typical distance travelled). Having said that, I don't particularly want my car having an extra 50K added to the odometer. Then you got to explain to everyone who looks at it... lol

well your probably aware that 87-90 degrees of water is normal for our car.

its just how thin the radiator is and the load on it.

bigger radiator to take the load for winter will far out do the thermostat, especially if it ends up being too cold and keeps the car is a cold start map lol

Don't confuse the Nismo thermostat (which doesn't do that) with the Mishimoto thermostat (which does do that).

Bigger radiator would be more beneficial in the summer you'd think, yes?

yeh but there is a lower temp nismo thermostat available. isnt there?

i duno what your trying to get at

I thought Nismo was lower than stock, and Mishimoto was lower again.

Thought I read a thread on here where Scott fitted the Mishimoto and it was too cold and stuffed the car around, but I haven't seen much on the Nismo?

I run a 54mm race radiator and the Nismo thermostat.......no problems with my car with normal running in winter.....it hangs around 85 to 89 in traffic and about 84 on the freeway on hot or cold days....pretty sure from memory it was the same in summer.

On the track it dropped down 2 degrees and ran a perfect 83 degrees the whole time.......makes me think that it would do about 85-86 degree's in summer on the track!

Below would be what I am getting at, thanks Ryan.

You don't really hear anything about them because the Nismo just works.

no you can legally change them over and report the change, to be honest i dont know whats involved. mine was only a few thousand off so i didnt bother

Mine has 25,000k's on the odo now. ;) I still have the original I can give the next buyer but I don't think they will care. Its obvious an aftermarket Nismo dash will change the K's isnt it?

    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.  7f8604df-f686-466f-b2ec-e1d8a369ddd9.mov    
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
