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?

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
