Everything I've seen about the Nissan kit is a large SETRAB cooler and lines, seems like a quality kit, at a price premium.

If you mean they are telling you the side fenders literally need to be removed, that would be cause for concern. If they are working on replacing the engine, a lot will be removed already, but even if they didn't reduce the hourly time, 8 hours would literally be a tech working on installing just the oil cooler for the entire day.. you can do the math.
Thank you for your lightening quick response. To appease me for an earlier mishap, we made a deal, I pay $780 MSRP for oil cooler he installs it at his cost. So why is he giving me all this rigamarole? I do not know.
