I finally got around to installing an oil temp gauge that I have left over from my old turbo Gs-R. It’s temporary so zip ties and shady wiring were involved. I’m going to use it next weekend at the track just to see how accurate the factory gauge is. If the OE guesstimate in the LogR screen is semi accurate then I’ll probably skip installing the oil cooler. Just need to wash the track wheels and install them when I flush the brake fluid and she’ll be good to go. Running in Time Trials this event with the hope of breaking the track record.

Where are you running?

Back at Summit Point. Life plans really getting in the way of me making it anywhere else for awhile.

I finally got around to putting the Lap Record sticker on the car. Makes looking back at the car after you park it even better. I had posted the pics from the weekend in the track junkie thread but didn’t add them here so gonna post them now too.

Had the car at the track last weekend just to get some pictures done. Was too cheap to pay for track insurance so just instructed and drove a couple of buddies cars. Pics turned out awesome!

@yeaitsahonda Did you ever get a chance to compare your oil temp gauge vs the estimated oil temp? Sorry if I missed it somewhere.

Posted somewhere on the forum but don’t remember which thread. The basics of it were that the factory gauge was about 20 seconds ahead of the real gauge when heating up or cooling down. But stabilized temps were very accurate. It was good enough for me to ditch the aftermarket setup and trust the factory guesstimate.

Awesome. Thank you!
