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

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.

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!

Well - just an update. The Nissan Plant Tour on Friday is Sold Out - but there is still plenty of availability for the other events! Hope to see you all there!
