I’m a boomer who owned a first and second generation Nissan (Datsun) Z. The GR86 gives me the same vibe. I want this car… as soon as it is available in a Hakone Green edition. Sarah… this “on location” review is every bit as well-produced as your “studio” versions. Well done! 👍

@@thorsong1 My second Z was a ‘79 280ZX special edition painted in the two-tone “Dallas Cowboy” blue & silver. It was one of the first 5-speeds one could get with cruise control. It also tracked better than any car I had driven up to that point. Once you centered it in the lane, one barely had to adjust the wheel to keep it on course! 😉

For the curious, short track stock car builders in the know tip the radiator 5 to 7 degrees so that the air glances off the fins as it passes through, increasing the cooling efficiency significantly. Straight up mounted radiators pass the air through with less contact with the aluminum fins between the tubes and will run hotter. Water to air and air to air both have the same effect when you tip them

That copper cylinder under the oil filter is an oil cooler with coolant circulating through it. It’s only purpose is to prevent the oil overheating when doing laps on track, but it has the added benefit of warming the oil from a cold start. It wasn’t on the old generation, but was a needed mod for going on the track.

@@DwithBoost That's correct - in general, turbo-charging an engine reduces the overall lifespan of the engine. If a person hopes to get 200,000+ miles out of an engine, it's very rare for turbo's to get that far. I'm not suggesting it isn't possible - anything is possible, just statistically uncommon.
@DwithBoost 2 жыл бұрын
@@Dakiraun most of the time I see shorter life spans due to people tuning, raising the boost from the factory setting and such. I know of several 02-03 WRX's that have around 200K miles plus. I don't see why a turbo alone would reduce an engines life span. The manufacturer typically reduces compression, reinforces the pistons, rings, etc. to take the additional horsepower and cylinder pressure.
