DIY: Fender Lining Vent for Oil Cooler GTM Supercharger Stage 1 on NISMO

Just as a update:

Finally got the car running without any major oil leaks and performed a test run to check AFR's and general health. Still have a oil drip from one fitting . Cheap POS's that I'm going to serious think of replacing with some quality hydraulic hoses and stainless steel fittings that don't leak.

Anyways, going forward, about oil temps. What I noticed and logged via Cipher, is that my DEFi gauge is out 10 F until 200 F, then it's out 5 F.
The oil temp will match the engine coolant temp, for the most part. The fan and vent holes removed a ton of heat from the oil cooler and the air flow was decent. The ambient temp was 77 F. In the future I would consider a 34 row cooler and bigger fan that has double the air flow.
(that's a hint to the higher ambient temps areas)

Even with the bigger CSF radiator, the coolant temp averaged around 210 F in city traffic @ 50 mph avg (I'm wondering if I still have air pockets?) and oil temps never got past 200 F. Air intake temps were around 104 F. It was a test run limited to 3500 RPM and I'm sure once I really start working the Supercharger, temps will increase.

Overall impressions are good about the Supercharger Stage 1, except for the cheap oil fittings/hoses and some pulley alignment issues, that had to be corrected. Instructions were very good but make sure you have the correct and updated ones. My only other complaint is that be sure you check to make sure you have the correct sized fittings as I was sent the wrong sizes and had to re-purchase and ship at my expense twice during the build process.

That is all for now.
