Stillen 7AT coolers installed?

wstar

Ancient thread resurrected!

I recently upgraded the Setrab to a 19-row Series-6, as my track sessions have gotten more abusive over time and I've needed more cooling for the fluid. Still on the same lines/fittings as before (which are smaller than the ones stillen ships). Still working fine.

I bought an AT cooler from GTM and had a similar issue - the hose and fitting that came with the kit (3/8") did not fit well when connecting to the hard line coming off the tranny - leaked even with 2 clamps on the hose - then I switched to 5/16 fitting and hose and all is good - but I'm suspicious why the kit didn't come with the correct size hose and fittings - I feel like I must have missed something??? But in any case - it all works fine with the 5/16th hose and fittings.

***Questions***

Okay so about to pull the trigger on the Stillen Cooler:

https://www.stillen.com/nissan-370z-...ooler-kit.html

Do I really need:

+

and is this the right hoze (fake laugh):

or is there a consensus that the dealer can simply use the kit alone?

I only ask as I'll be wimping out and having the stealership install, and would like to supply exactly what they need to make everything go on smoothly.

I'm on a "remanufactured" 7AT now with only 56k miles on my car, so hopefully this provides some real/actual longterm insurance (until I can get a recession special ZL-1 Camaro that some poor bastard went through a divorce and has to fire sale: "she took everything maaaannnn" <--- suckers/I'm never getting married haha).

Thanks everyone for your help, these forums have been GOLD!

Forget the Stillen and get a Hayden 1676 from ebay/amazon for $30. Same one Z1 sells and rated for 10k GVWR.

Yesterday I mounted mine vertically (only space I have with the oil cooler there) using the existing center brace in front of the condenser, there's even a free threaded nut to use. I disconnected the OE top cooler hose and used a brass 3/8" mender to connect it to the new line and ran hose to barb on the Hayden. For the bottom hose I ran from the Hayden toward the drivers side, cut a piece of the radiator core support out to ease the bend (2" sq. max), cut the lower hose where it affixes to the radiator fan shroud and used a 3/8" mender to connect the new hose to existing.

Do yourself a favor and use Awab hose clamps size 17.
