i think oil temp would be more vital in avoiding problems. oil pressure means you have a problem, and it is probably a problem that you aren't going to be able to fix without a rebuild anyways.

not necessarily... you could have forgotten to fully tighten a sensor or your drainplug or something and that would cause a pressure drop and a leak... but if you could have both i'd definitely go for that

true i suppose...it has been a while since i bought mine, i forgot what 3 i bought. i think they were boost, oil temp, and water temp (only because i don't trust the stock gauge). but i plan to get that Consult program to run which somebody updated the software with an array of gauge options to display on your screen.

DZ: has someone designed software to allow full romulator to perform full datalogging? i know ash's does minor things but far from what i would consider datalogging.

i don't remember... it's been a long time since i've looked into any of that stuff... but i don't think so.. the only logging it does is of a/f ratio's and that's in conjunction with the lm2 wideband setup...

i see...i think ash's software for romulator which he calls Zemulator has some basic datalogging but i am pretty sure he is working very hard to get some usable datalogging going on. eh...just wondering

Re: ZATTACK! April 13 & 14, 2007 :: Nashville, TN

anyway.. BACK to the thread lol

If you've never seen the Nissan Assembly Plant in Smyrna it is incredible.



Here is a short video of our club's spring cruise which included a tour of the Nissan Decherd plant which is about 70 miles from the Smyrna plant. Decherd is a smaller plant, but you can tell from the video that the Nissan plants in Tennessee are quite a sight to behold! Smyrna is MUCH larger! The Smyrna plant has about 6,700 employees and 5.4 million square feet of floor space.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...54970899347557
tour footage begins at 2:50



The tour is about 1 hour long, and will by given via a moving Tram. Walking will be very minimal. The tour can accommodate handicapped visitors and is wheelchair-friendly. All registrants will be able to park their Z in a high security lot, and best of all: The lines will be running during the tour, so you will be able to watch vehicles being assembled live!

Reminder: All tour participants MUST be pre-registered (Nissan requires this). You cannot just "show-up", so if you think this might be something you would like to do, make sure to register soon before all the slots are full!
