When you responded to my previous thread "On the water temp gauge, yeah that is worthless. After 132-134 degrees there is no change until 212+" were you talking about the water temp or outside temp?

And if it is you water temp, you might want to re-check your install.

Frankly after talking with you on the phone telling me there were no issues, saying it was the install and then the person who was going to contact me did not. At this point I don't know for sure if it's the headers actually causing the issue, the exhaust or both. What I do know is I'm not taking the damn headers off that car again to fix your issues.

Basically done with Stillen and that is true.

I was responding to your first comment. My ambient air temp sensor works just fine. And on the second, if you will plug in a Scangauge or equivalent that will read actual water temps you'll see that the LED gauge is virtualy worthless except at extremes. This has nothing to do with an oil cooler. They all work this way. ... 2 different sensors discussed here...Maybe you meant something else..??

Actually, that clears things up. I assumed you meant the outside air temperature.

My guess is that the outside air sensor must be in front of the radiator on the passenger side. I assumed that the heat coming off the cooler was getting interpreted as outside air temp. That might explain why your driver side mount does not screw with the sensor. Or the dealership ran a line across the sensor. I can only speculate.

And, for what its worth, I can confirm that the outside air temp gauge only goes up to 142 degrees.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Unquestionably apples and oranges and still trying to figure out why Nissan put the voltage in a nice guage and made water temps unreadable for all practical purposes. Seems like they should have been reversed. Dunno.....people putting in big sound systems??

Even though it's apples and oranges, noticed my water temps after the oil cooler install did run about ten degrees lower than before.

FWIW, I installed a custom cooler similar to Modshack's. I now have the whirring, whining noise that everyone is describing. See my thread at: http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...r-install.html

I've made a couple videos to document the sound. I wouldn't blame Stillen for this one. It's either a natural tendancy for the sandwich plates or a plate-maker issue (Mocal in my case). However, my cooler works great. I suppose my only concern is the oil pressure then, which I can't measure currently.

Looks sexy. I want one

You dug up a 2 year old thread to say that ? :p
