They said they had a Nissan recommended oil cooler installed at a dealer. This contradicts earlier posts of oil coolers voiding warranties or not available. Can I just demand my dealer install this when I buy my new Z?

Thanks for the link, that's very interesting. So they claim this kit was developed by Nissan, but is "aftermarket", and can't be bought from Nissan. Something fishy there, I think they didn't get good info on the source. I wonder who is making this kit, and why Nissan isn't at least releasing details about it (if not selling it). In any case it's a Setrab core, and it looks like it might be taller than the unit Stillen is using.

I'm certain most of you have seen this, but in the write-up by NissanSport magazine they claimed 3 options were in the works but still not completed at the time of publication: oil cooler, trans cooler, diff cooler. For whatever that's worth.

I mentioned in another thread that the Z-Car Garage have hinted about oil temperature problems in their blog - Z-Car Blog

They updated their blog on April 15th with a youtube video of their trackday at Thunderhill Raceway (below). It all seems to be going well at first, but at around about 5min 50secs - well, see for yourself...
