No oil cooler on the sports coupe and the family sedans all get one! HUH???

I almost wanna say that it was done to keep the price lower in order for Nissan to market the Z as under 30K. The 2011-12 might have it......

in 2010, nissan prices went up $480 from $29,930 to $30,410 for $100 heated mirror upgrade and a $10 filter. So in my opinion, The whole under 30k thing was a publicity stunt due to the hyundai genesis coupe hype. Nissan doesnt provide an oil cooler cuz they dont care. As much as i love nissan performance. Todays nissan CEO's can care less what the consumer thinks. All they care about is there corporate battle with BMW, making money and pleasing the car magazines zso they can keep getting the desireable reviews in order to keep us wanting to buy the car. Its all politics.
They know we americans, dont judge cars on actual performance, we judge on popular opinion so nissan has lost communication with its fanbase knowing they will sell more cars through a car and driver article than actually giving the enthusiast what is needed. If the designer himself wasnt a young car enthusiast like we are, And he wanted to truely make the best Z ever... The z would probably be a flop now due to corporates blind decision making. long story short. thats why i feel the Z doesnt have an oil cooler.

The line is to feed an oil troll that lives in his engine compartment, so no return needed!

You can try luring him out with a bottle of Ester oil, best way to find out for sure. That is their favorite.

Please note in this picture how large the power steering cooler is compared to the one fitted in the u.s spec.

and no its not an aftermarket part, it comes from the factory like that.

WarmAndSCSI · 09-06-2010, 10:32 PM

Looks like an in-radiator cooler like most automatic transmissions have.

tbonesteak · 09-07-2010, 12:18 AM

did we JUST find this out??! how is the effectiveness of the cooler? can we fit this pretty easily if we buy the parts? i can't believe noone realized this big of a difference til now...

By the time you pay to get one of those on, you might as well buy a real one.

The unit circulates HOT coolant to the sandwich adapter, oil never actually never leave its current path.

Why is oil temp such a sensitive subject with the Z guys? It's like telling a girl fat or something

mattjk · 09-07-2010, 01:02 AM

definitely looks like a coolant type oil cooler. a lot of toyota's use that.

the hard pipe are going up, not forward so they are probably plumbed in with the other coolant pipes like for the heater and throttle bodies.
