Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Oil cooler addition or drop-in replacement ?

3zworld · 04-02-2012, 11:54 AM

I just received my 25 row Setrab oil cooler and my question to the forum is this: would you add the cooler on with the existing manufacturer oil cooler or use it as a drop-in replacement ? I got to thinking about this because the tech said it could be done either way and I got to thinking about how already cramped the engine bay is and the heat as well as the weight if I added it instead of as a drop-in replacement.

So I wanted to get an idea from folks that have already done this to weigh in on what they did so I could see what the preferred method is ? Anyone ? Appreciate any feedback..TIA!
