I'm just curious. As a new 2016 Nismo owner, I thought I didn't have to worry about oil temps due to factory cooler.

If you track your car or live in a warm climate you will need one. I see you live in Quebec, I doubt you would need one. If you drive in Quebec winters, I would suggest you keep the factory oil stabilizer.

The thermo plate somewhat isolates the cooler and prevents drainback as it's routed through the filter, which is a Purolator that has a more robust anti-drainback system.
Also, with the ports down, makes it much easier to get all of the old oil out during an oil change. With the ports up, you're leaving almost a quart of dirty oil in the cooler that you need to deal with getting out somehow.

Picture.

If you buy an oil cooler kit from Fast Intentions you get everything you need. Just sayin. One stop shop for an oil cooler for a Nismo.
