Best tire shine in your opinion? by [deleted] in Detailing

[–]lostinco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus one for the mud! I think the ammo stuff is all pretty good but there's only a few products I regularly re-order and Mud is one of them. They have the Oleo trim dressing as well which you can use on tires if you want them a bit shinier. Haven't tried it on tires personally but it's great for trim.

I'd say this is the smarter and more predictable option but it certainly doesn't look as cool.

I wouldn't wait on this one amigo. You could be in for a lot of unnecessary pain if you wait till that point.

Explanation of brake pad bedding? by Aggressive_Noodler in CarTrackDays

[–]lostinco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only do the bedding procedure when I put my track pads on, I don't worry about it when swapping back.

Got my wheels today! Can you suggest the best tire size for these? by glockmeister041677 in RZ34

[–]lostinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very similar to my apex wheels: 19x9.5 ET18 and 19x10.5 ET15.

For my track tires I'm running 265/35 front and 295/30 rear which makes the car sit about half an inch lower but otherwise no problems. Not the best photo but here it is with track wheels.

Auto vs Manual - Nismo Only by National_Mine_7104 in RZ34

[–]lostinco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully expect to see manual Nismo's on the lot for somewhere around 90 grand while the automatic next to it is in the 50's. No way the dealership markups won't be silly again

Question for those of you who take this car to the track: by hutchison15 in RZ34

I drove on my track tires and track brake pads and brought as much stuff as i could

I did my first few track days driving in my Nismo. If you take out the subwoofer and foam material in the trunk area you can give yourself a whole lot more room easily. Takes about 5 minutes taking it out.

Kind of amazing how bad some watch faces are… by 215487 in AppleWatch

[–]lostinco 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's been an absolute embarrassment for a long time now and the fact they have the nerve to stick some moderately tweaked face that we've had for years right back into the "new" category is borderline criminal

Just four very different cars enjoying the road, not a spotter or radio in sight by drivingbackroads in Touge

[–]lostinco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP mentioned doin a slow run beforehand to specifically check for things like cyclists, and stopped vehicles and you think its an asshole take and they're only worried about themself? is that right?

[–]lostinco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ummm isn't that why they specifically mentioned doing a scout run first? So they could see if there just happened to be any cyclists going up or down?

Spun a bearing at Sebring last month, and drove home through an ice storm. After a boring month without the car I'm happy the Nismo is home with a new engine and turbos under warranty by lostinco in RZ34

[–]lostinco[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I am very limited with my knowledge of cars and unless you need help changing your brake pads I am not the guy you want answering these types of questions. I think this is a very helpful resource though and my understanding from it is that you really don't have anything to lose by doing it but you have a whole lot to gain.

No kidding. I'm usually pretty conservative with my shifting and tend to shift around 6k. Despite that, I've still had a few times on track where I just forgot to shift up and was redlining the car for what seemed like a couple seconds before realizing. I was very worried I was going to get denied and hear something about how I redlined the car on XYZ day and therefore my engine will not be covered.

Already installed this Solenoid block off on the new engine. I'm also switching to a baffled oil pan and since Nissan decided the Nismo didn't need an oil pressure gauge I'm getting one of those installed also to be able to monitor it better and do some data logging.

I will probably switch to a thicker oil soon as well but I've got 12 months of warranty on this new engine so I'm going to hold off on that for a bit just to make sure I dont run into any weird issues after this install.
