Just wanted to update this post. After about 4 weeks I was finally able to install a new Setrab 25 row oil cooler. After calling Stillen and talking to "Dave" they were willing to send me the better Setrab brand but I did have to pay the difference in cost for the core and adapters so the existing hoses would connect properly. I was fine with that, the issue was the time it took to get the replacement parts. It seams SEMA was a priority at the time. Everything fit in place but not much oil left in the engine after draining it. Once back together I tried to crank the engine but it would not turn over. My heart just about stopped and I thought the worst. But it did sit for 4 weeks and with the Chicago weather I decided to put a charger on the battery and have some lunch. A few hours later the gods were looking out for me and my Z fired right up! I did have to drive it on the salted roads to storage a few miles away but no leaks at this point other then the oil dripping off the bottom as I could not reach everyplace and it did sit on the jack stands for 4 weeks. Can't wait to get back on the track this spring and see how the larger core does after 20 minutes of hot laps. Happy New Year to all!!!

Kind of sucks when a business drops customers for SEMA.

F.I. 34 row setrab here too. No issues, fully satisfied. Fit was flawless! Only time oil heats up is in stop and go traffic.
