I'm torn on whether I should paint this or not...
Part of me loves the exposed carbon fiber look, I suppose I could always paint later
Back at VIR again with the Nismo and broke into the 2:15's
I'm no where near the limit of this car still but getting a bit faster and more confident each time i'm there. Switched away from the OEM differential fluid and that change alone helped keep my fluid temps down -20F or so 👍
The Nismo in it's natural habitat at VIR
First time with a whole bunch of new mods including:
- a Radium Surge Tank,
- MCS coilovers + lots of SPL bits+Whiteline Sway Bars
- E30 Tune (supposed to be e85 but couldn't finish the tune due to weather before I left)
- full AMS downpipes.
Everything was great, just running E30 i had engine oil temps probably 20F lower on average. With the Radium surge tank I was pushing on track right up to an empty tank with out issue. For comparison, I used to start getting fuel starvation issues coming out of the last set of corners at the end of 30 minute sessions even when i still had over half a tank of gas left. The suspension parts all felt great as well but its a bit harder for me to share objective thoughts with those.
I'm heading back next weekend and will have E85 sorted and will try to get some laptime comparisons.

Did I need 3 way MCS coilovers? Not a chance, but I'm a grown ass man and I wanted them!
Just doing my part to keep this great economy humming along with these latest mods for the nismo...
MCS 3 Way Coilovers,
Radium Engineering Surge Tank
SPL: Rear Camber Links, Traction Rods, Toe Arms, Eccentric lockout kit, front outer tie rods, front/rear swaybar endlinks
Whiteline swaybars
AMS Flex Fuel kit and full down pipes
Could I have bought a porsche 718 gt4 at this point with all the money i've added into this car? i try not to think about it but I haven't regretted it one bit either
Broke into the 1:41's today at Road Atlanta which was nice. Got some big things happening with the car now though including MCS 3WR coilovers, whiteline sway bars, full AMS downpipes, a proper tune, a radium surge tank, AMS flex fuel kit, and a whole lot of the SPL suspension components that are all getting installed starting tomorrow 😍
