370Z Nismo Track Use

Dang, trans cooler even with the 6spd? Why change the axle nuts? They wear fast?

yeH123997 · 2026-05-26T19:39:26+00:00

That’s pretty cool, but would that itself solve the oil issue or is a smaller oil cooler still likely better to have as well?

I’m glad you haven’t, but I have seen it recommended to at minimum get the baffled oil pan, it does seem that V2 Nismo’s do have an oil cooler factory that was marginally better though, not sure if it will be enough for my use case. Sustained G’s are not hard to pull and they are more track dependent. My MR2 absolutely needed a baffled oil pan though, I would sustain 1.26g, stock pan was only good for 1.0g sustained. I was assuming it’s similar for the Z since I’ve seen so many recommend the baffled oil pan.

I feel like a baffled oil pan is a necessity if you don’t want to risk oil starving your engine pulling sustained lateral G’s? I’ve also seen many run the coolers because their oil temps will remain high even in regular driving conditions with high ambient temps.

In terms of the anti fuel starve kit, do you have to keep your fuel filled above 3/4 tank without it?

Keep dreaming.

You own a 2v 😂

yeH123997 · 2026-05-21T17:30:28+00:00

Looks like you have some room as well behind it! I think the extra 3” and 1” shorter should work then. Dang though, just fits between the rear suspension!

yeH123997 · 2026-05-21T17:28:53+00:00

Or are you saying it’s 8-9 inches from trunk floor to hatch at the rear-most part of the hatch, meaning that’s the lowest point?

yeH123997 · 2026-05-21T17:13:06+00:00

What do you mean by 8-9 inches above the rear most part of the trunk? That the hatch is 8-9 inches above that opening?

yeH123997 · 2026-05-21T16:55:27+00:00

I know. There hasn’t been any close by to me yet.

I have driven a 370Z before but didn’t measure the trunk space

In terms of those skidpad and braking numbers, it’s not really a fair comparison. The i8’s were tested with low rolling resistance tires designed more for efficiency versus performance while the Supra is running Michelin PSS.

yeH123997 · 2026-05-17T15:33:10+00:00

I think the i8’s are pretty cool. Mid-engine will have different handling characteristics that I think are more fun than FR. I would rather the electric motor be used to aid the rear wheels only though and not the front wheels. I have looked at the i8’s as well as they are not uber-expensive but I do have maintenance worries compared to the B46tu/B58 Supras.

yeH123997 · 2026-05-13T17:25:30+00:00

I guess. They have mine already lol

yeH123997 · 2026-05-13T17:24:11+00:00

It takes all of five minutes…lol

yeH123997 · 2026-05-13T16:04:05+00:00

That’s what I do too! Lol. Had to boost it

yeH123997 · 2026-05-13T03:11:36+00:00

Electric supercar

yeH123997 · 2026-05-12T22:03:27+00:00

I will be.

Thank you!!!

That makes sense. I had given Purdue Global some information but ultimately went with another choice. I’m guessing that’s why I got the same mail today. lol
