Nissan Motorsports Oil Cooler vs. Stillen Oil Cooler

Zeze

Quick (perhaps stupid) question: the considerably large oil cooler being placed right in front of the radiator, would the radiator cooling performance be affected? Or is the radiator like something that's been over-designed and there's no need to worry?

Coolant temps are not a problem in these cars and the decrease in airflow over the radiator caused by something like an oil cooler will not drastically affect the radiator function. The other thing you should remember is that the hotter the oil, the hotter the coolant. Oil is the hottest fluid running through the system so if you cool that down, you are going to see cooler water temps as well.

Nothing to worry about concerning the radiator. Enough air flows through the oil cooler to where it won't hinder anything. And like christian said, cooler oil temps = cooler coolant temps as well.

Maybe a silly question, but would the stock Z32 TT Oil Cooler work well enough in a Z34?
