Then tungsten or beryllium 6ULs. Couldn't find a 6UL photo on a black one but... the ND is a really nice looking car, even gayed up with the red lugs and stickarzzzzzz.
Have you driven one yet?

For those wanting to track the ND, I noticed this little gem yesterday.

"We're not making dramatic changes to it. It's being fitted with our triple pass radiator, Verus hood louvers and some prototype coolers for the oil, transmission and diff. "
I posted on their Facebook yesterday, they confirmed the plan is to eventually offer these to the public. Of course I would suspect that would be deep into next year.

Yup, both diff and trans coolers suggested for extended track use. Mazda halved the lubricant capacity in the ND diff to save weight over the NB, NC diffs. We run Amsoil SVG in the OEM Auburn LSD and OS 80w250 in the OS Giken but have to change it constantly.
For the 8 months or so we had the AIM MXL2 and all the sensors in it, we saw big temps. CSF rad works for N/A. Not tested on F/I yet as we don't have a trans that will survive 200lb tq that our AVO kit generates.

For a normal HPDE guy, how much would you shorten up the fluid change intervals for the trans and diff. Match oil change intervals?
That would be fine with me as anything I buy is only going to see 300-ish street miles per month.

Emilio, when you say "extended track usage" do you mean more than the average 15-20 minute HPDE sessions?

We change the fluid very frequently. Coolers would be better.

Bit off topic but did anyone notice the watermark on the pic of the black ND? Company calling itself RavSpec. They sell wheels. What floors me is that Ravs was a stamp that Konig put on a Volk CE28 copy about 5 years ago. Real CE28's are net forged, the word "FORGED" on the wheel/ Konig's cast copy also had the "FORGED" stamp (doh). The brand, instead of the genuine Rays was "Ravs Eng". Some other company began marketing straight up Volk copies under the Vork wheels, Ravs engineering brand back around 2005.
So "Ravs" became a cool JDM thing to some millennials starting an online wheel store a few years ago. I'm probably the only one that finds this funny.
