Review of Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Sandwich Plate

Bboyyumm · 06-18-2014, 04:05 AM

Sooooo.. I just got my Z and I live in VERY hot Vegas.. I plan on doing track days soon and have been considering what radiator thermostat and oil cooler to go with. When I buy parts I tend to use all the same brand. (Suspension all Tein etc.) I was really considering a mishimoto complete cooling set up buuuuuuut after doing some research and finding this thread I think I will be going a different route. Any suggestions for a oil cooler, radiator, performance thermo, and intake/air filter set up? Affordable suggestions? lol..

and sorry about your experience bro...Cars cost way too much to be compensated with "gift cards" .. but thank you for this thread it helps save some of us the heart and wallet ache..

Don't just commit to one mfg. unless its part of one system, clutch/flywheel or brakes for example.
Setrab/stillen oil cooler used by many, I have one.
CSF makes great radiators.
Stillen Gen3 CAI.
Best suggestion though is read an research a lot more then come back if your still not sure.

I got the Z1 34 row oil cooler. The new 3 row CSF rad sdould be good addition. Try a vented hood if you still think the engine is still too hot. I also got the Stillen 3G CAI. Also upgrade your brake system if you are planning to track.
