Leaking oil cooler fittings on Z1 kit

2011 Nismo#91

Yeah, I've also had problems with Z1 products, three times now. They are very nice and helpful resolving problems but they are still costing time and money having to remove, ship back, and then reinstall parts.

Mention that and ask them for an additional discount, free shipping or at least some free stickers and hats.

I already have, and they have a "note on my account for a discount on my next order".

Wow, this thread still alive. Sorry that I abandoned the thread.
Solution was expensive.
1) I replaced ALL fittings with Aeroquip. That solved fitting leaks, but at $35 x 4 plus work to take all apart and put back together.
2) Mocal core burst. I called Z1 and they informed me that Mocal is not good for Z because of spike in oil pressure on 370 cars at start up. They no longer offering Mocal core with that kit.
3) I ordered Setrab 19 row core and sent back Mocal core to Z1 for warranty refund. Incremental cost(net of refund) was about $100
New installation costs....don't want to talk about it

All work was done by very high end shops catering to track day crowd-I am not familiar with fittings/fluid lines to tackle it myself.

At the end all is working and no leaks.

I appreciate help from Z1, but they really need to look into what brand/quality fittings are used on their hoses.
tip: you have to use "shorty" oil filter with this kit, unless you have very tiny and burn proof hands and a LOT of patience
