Would like to purchase an oil cooler kit for installation in my 2009 370Z Nismo. The car will reside in SW Florida and will never be tracked. Is the 19 row unit sufficient, or should I consider the 25 row unit? Will any alteration to the Nismo be required to install either unit?

Since you will never be tracking the car, a 19 row should be sufficient for a DD. However, since you live in SW Florida (where it can be equally hot and humid) I would recommend the 25 row if you are planning on doing any spirited back road driving. Although not on a race track, our shop 370Z went into limp mode on the Tail of the Dragon at the 2010 ZDayZ event in North Carolina. This came as a result of aggressive mountain runs in short bursts.

The decision of whether to choose a 25 or 19 row cooler really comes down to your budget. Personally, I would recommend a 25 row for your car. It would be added insurance to allow you the ability to "play" even during the hotter summer months.

In regards to the installation of our oil cooler kit on the NISMO, there are ONLY two things different between the two models:
  1. Removal of the undershrouds and fascia to facilitate installtion will be slightly different.
  2. The NISMO/Autech/Yamaha Lateral brace will need to be flipped 180 degrees. Placing the thicker end on the passenger side of the car in order to accomodate the oil cooler core.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

So I plan on doing a single turbo build here in a few weeks. I do not road race the car, but I do drag race it occasionally. I also plan on going to ZDayz. I'm curious to know what sized cooler you had when the shop car went into limp mode on the dragon? Since I'm in central FL and will be FI, you suggest the 34 correct...even if I don't road race it?
