I just got an oil cooler installed on my Nismo.... what do you guys think of the way we routed the hoses?

That's roughly the way I route it. I don't see why people have to jam two lines side by side when you can do one each way

True... no cutting or drilling and this way the hoses don't underlap the sway bar. We also made good use of a couple of empty bolting points on the engine.

My only concern would be abrasion where the hoses loop around the bulkhead. Maybe wrap some heater hose around them at those points to protect them. Otherwise, it looks very clean.

Looks good, and different.
