That's not a factory oil cooler.

OP, the front damper was removed also... Not really a big deal but you may get a slight vibration/noise at higher speeds.

I am 99% sure you don't have the thermostatic plate because of it being the nissan kit. The reason why I know this is becase the hoses are typically wrapped up on top of the oil cooler like the third picture you took, that and the hoses nissan uses are red and blue. No extra steps in doing a oil change, but if you want to swap over then use z1
So I won't need to drain this separately to get all the used oil out? And would the damper that was removed not fit with the cooler there or what?

customer previous of you decided to remove it probably because they wanted to track it and wanted more air flow. I have had my cooler for 22k and never emptied the cooler out because it gets mixed with 5qts good oil. It really doesn't matter too much it won't effect the motor in any bad way.

Would the damper be visible from.the shots he took? U only have to.flip the damper on tthe 34 row which makes me believe it would be higher up jayno dont buy one yet. Figure it all out 100% first

Yeah I went out and looked, its not there. There are 2 bolts on both ends where the damper would mount, but its definitely gone. I am going to be getting a thermostatic plate for it since I will be driving it during the winter so I'll have all this stuff off and I would like to put the damper back on around the same time.

So, where can I get a damper at a good price? And where can I find a thermostatic plate for this particular oil cooler?

Thank you....... I never said it was & he has a '10 Nismo. '12 is where the factory started put the oil cooler if I'm not mistaken.

If I am reading right, this thermostatic plate here:

Oil Cooler Thermostatic Sandwich Plate Conversion Kit


the actual thermostat is located in the sandwich plate between the filter and where it attaches to the engine, right? Also if I do have the Nissan motorsports cooler, am I going to run into any problems with the hoses themselves not working with the different fittings provided in this kit?

all Z's should come with a oil cooler. 220 on any giving day for me, and i hate it!

It also has to-do with where you live too. Since we are both in TX the oil cooler temp is going to get up there for sure. Yeah having the oil cooler at 170-180 would be great, but I really do not care as long as the car is not over heating.:icon14:

phillip2010Z 04-15-2012 06:26 PM
True, But the MODS I'm sure don't help. Your right Texas and its dry heat, Its hotter than hell in El Paso in the Summer.

I wouldn't want to go balls to the wall during the day. Night time would be better for higher speed b/c it will be a little bit cooler.

LOL a few degrees lol. I came from Killeen. So its just as bad. I usually only gun it at the track. for awhile 16 seconds.
