I don't know the part number because during the interview they told me that there is already a nissan cooler available so I presumed that there is one already. Maybe we can ask the dealerships but I will see if I can get hold of the Senior Engineer that told me. I was in the Regional Corporate Office of Nissan in Costa Mesa California for that interview in fact I was with another Z owner from Whittier if he is a member on this forum......

It's not strictly necessary in warmer climates, where a cooler is most useful anyways, but for the cost of the Nismo unit I would've expected one. The non-thermo plate always flows all of your oil through the cooler. The thermo one blocks off the cooler when the oil is cold, and gradually opens up the path to the cooler as the temps rise (should be fully open at 180 I believe on most we've seen for this car). Without a thermo plate, you really need to wait for the oil to warm up a bit before you use the engine too hard (pushing way high PSI cold oil through the cooler isn't great for it or the fittings), and it will take longer to warm up than stock because the cooler doesn't help with that. In a colder climate I'd say it's pretty essential, but I want one even here in TX so I don't have to wait forever on warmup.

Love to find out if/when the dealerships will be able to order & install the oil cooler. I'd love to add it onto mine. I think it's a sure bet it will be added to next year's model.

Thats why I don't expect to see the 2010 sporting an oil cooler. Though someone else on this forum mentioned a quicker, easier (though less effective) approach to cooling the oil. Something along those lines is what I would expect... not a outright admittance that the Z needs a cooler, but a slight remedy. For all the owners who do have oil temperature problems, do you think I would be plagued by this up in Michigan? It seems like most of you live in hotter climates (i.e. Texas, Arizona, Florida). |
