GTA Group Buy for Z1 Oil Cooler kits!
 

Hi guys trying to gauge interest in an oil cooler group buy for the up coming season :driving:

So in talks with Z1 they need to know how many units of each size before they give us the group buy price. But for ball park price I will show the list price of the kits from there website.

Also there is a local shop in the GTA area that will be taking the delivery if we can get this to happen with good numbers. This will allow us to go with freight shipping (all on one big skid, shipped on a transport truck to the shop) which will also help on shipping costs.

So this thread is to gain interest in how many of us would like to get in on this, however it is only a feeler. I am not taking money or deposits just trying to help organize this and make it happen. Once we have a good number of people and figure out final prices etc. then the info for payment will be given out to take this to the next step.

Website Prices ($USD) all prices are + shipping

19-row kit - $398
25-row kit - $468
34-row kit - $558

I will start a list below, please include your name and which size kit you are interested in.

If you have any other questions feel free to send me a PM or post here in the thread

LMBmikeZ - 34 row kit
Phil - 34 row kit
Dennis - 25 row kit

no body???? :icon14:

im down, i asked you in another thread if theres such a thing as "over" cooling. like is there a down side (besides price) with buying the biggest cooler?
also i hope its phils place, since its like 10 mins from my house bwuahaha

edit: just read the other thread. i guess put me down for 25
i searched a little for overcooling when it comes to oil but im unclear as to what happens or what damage it would do. I know you can just put a block in when you dont need the cooling but can't you just leave it alone?
sorry if its silly questions, im just trying to understand all aspects of this so i can make a proper decision regarding oil cooler size

Ill be down for a 25 row kit but im in the middle of the U.S. and you all are up north.....

Ire will drive it down for ya .... lol! :tup:

Ya I saw the question and I said I didn't know anything about over cooling, but Mr. Galeforce knows about these issues and I am going to look into it this weekend. Sorry I don't know more but I will let you know what I find :tup: I have also been debating on which size to get now because of it

Ya we are trying to organize this for guys in our area so we can have all of them shipped to one general location where we could just pick them up:tup:

:bowrofl:

Dj Squall said he's in for a 25 row.

Yes, you can over cool oil and it will wear out your internals before their time. It's recommended to keep your oil temps at a minimum of 170-ish after the engine has normalized i.e. warmed up to normal operating temps. There are thermostatic plates available which will prevent your oil from over cooling.

ahhhh!!!!! that's right I remember my buddy (mechanic) telling me that when I get it make sure to spend the extra and get it with a thermostatic plate it's a must for that reason! I just didn't remember because that was back when I had my z32 and bought one for it!

Thanks for the info and refresher! :tup:

Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler Kit


however we are just trying to organize a local group buy to save on shipping, sorry :ugh2: however I know Z1 always has good deals for US residents.

AHH!!! Just noticed the difference in our links! the price difference is because you are looking at the Nissan Motorsport (NISMO) Oil Cooler kit VS the Z1 Oil Cooler Kit (Setrab)

I see, thx. went to the track today and it over heated... need to change mine asap!

Go big or go home :rofl2:

wow...7 guys! Will we hit 10?

I hope so! Come on people you know you want an oil cooler for that Z! :tup:









:driving:

LMBmikeZ what do you think about moving the front licence plate to the side since where it normally sits on the ontario Z's is right in front of where the oil cooler will go, drastically limiting its effectiveness.... Aesthetically I don't think it would look good at all but I guess it all comes down to how hard you drive your Z the pros may outweigh the cons. I'm interested in the oil cooler but this is one issue i'm seriously concerned about since I really only drive mine hard in short bursts.

I wouldn't really worry about it I don't think the placement of your plate will not affect the oil cooler very much :ugh2:

And saves the trouble of upgrading in the future :)

that was my thinking to :tup:
