The messed up thing is the 370Z not having a factory oil cooler in the states, but all the VQ35DE Altimas have it stock. WTF??

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

It looks like it is a return line

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......

UNKNOWN_370

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.

Zman1910 your actually correct

And do what with the lines? Someone was saying you could piggyback it? Wouldn't be fun blocking off behind cylinder #6.

quickboat

I think I would piggy back them if possible.

I got the piece together kit from race parts wholesale with a thermo sandwich plate, so just no confirmation if I can use the kit or not.

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

Is this is a guess? Or you know that ?

flashburn

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