Oil cooler thoughts

Thinking of getting the Z1 kit... Does anyone have their 34 row installed with stillen intakes? what all modifications have to be made to get it to fit?

There's no modifications to be had. They just haven't removed that from there site. I have the 34R GTM with the Stillen and it fits perfect. Z1's is the same. Unless you have a Nismo? Not sure if there's something that has to be modified with the different bracing they have.

We originally added that quote due to the fact that Stillen quoted it.

After further experimentation, we later discovered that the 6 series core will fit without any issues. We HAVE discovered however, that when installing the Oil Cooler Kit with a Gen III intake on a NISMO model, that you have to remove the factory metal air guides that are riveted to the aluminum crash bar. The combination of the two pieces make the install difficult with the metal air guides installed.

.... and for some reason Stillen still states that the Gen III's will not fit a NISMO??? Not exactly sure why this is still stated.
