Z1 Motorsports 370Z Oil Cooler Kit

Is there a thermostatic plate that opens around 200 or 210? That seams like it might make a bit of difference for the temps entering the block?

I do agree with you and we have suggested this in the past to many of our customers and forum members here on the370z. Owners of Z/G's living in cooler climates or in the winter with ANY oil cooler should consider blocking off the front of the core during the cooler times of the year. This method is used widely by racing teams to further regulate oil temps.

Race teams will block off individual rows of the oil coolers during test and tune to "fine tune" oil temps depending on the track conditions, humidity and driving style.
