Nismo rad cap *pics* *56k die*

well i know it doesnt really do anything performance related, but it sure looks nice. a matching oil cap is on the way too along with some denso plugs and my progress springs are sitting at the house awaiting install. anyways, sure it was 60 bucks or whatever, and to most a waste, i love it.

Yep, that's a radiator cap, for sure!

I hope you read the instructions (in japanese) before installing it

looks nice and is good for raising the boiling point but for 1/4 of the money you could have picked up a z thermostat and really helped with cooling. however no bling factor. for those looking for a cheaper alternative to this cap, look for a cap for a 96 300zx TT which runs 1.1 bar compared stock at .9 -nismo @ 1.3

yes sir! custom maxima strut bar it is. got it from custom enterprises. they sent me 2 pass side mounts though. so i had to cut one and reweld it on the opposite side to make er fit. but all it well now. the intake is actually one i made up from various parts. and you would be right on the six speed part too......is there any other REAL choice in trannies?

A colder t-stat wouldnt help unless you can get the fans to come on at a lower temp to match.

not a good admission - $60 for an oil filler cap is even more ridiculous than $60 for a radiator cap would have been!

you best change your location away from Burke Va if you gonna be talkin' about picking up hookers.

How's Baltimore, or Oklahoma, or wherever you are at this moment?

you never call, you never write....

I thought it was different. I always thought you didn't pay her for sex, you pay her to leave.

I'm not the only one whos heard that am I?
