New Product Release

Spartan 1771 · 07-25-2018, 10:52 AM

I'm very much interested in this, but have a question before I make the purchase. I have a 2009 370z Touring with the stock front bumper, but I've installed a Mishimoto Oil Cooler and a Nismo front end damper. Will I be able to install this with those other two mods? I see a lot of people have after-market oil coolers, but I don't recall anyone mentioning installing a Nismo damper in their non-nismo Z with this mod.

Hey Spartan,

It does fit with the Nismo variants and the front damper is a non issue. As far as the oil cooler goes, the only stipulation is that it utilizes an oil cooler mount that sits on top of the the lower core support opposed to protruding out of it. If this is an issue, All you would need to do is either purchase a bracket to recess it back on top of the lower core support or make your own.

It needs to sit like this

It also depends on how big your oil cooler is, if it is short then you may be able to get away with not having to make or purchase a different mount.

Thanks for the info!

The Mishimoto Cooler measures 5.43 inches high x 11 inches long. I believe it is mounted forward of the lower core support.

Here is an install video. If you start it at the 7.41 time index you will be able to see how and where it is mounted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy0TvUjvQ14

It looks like I will need the additional bracket, but please confirm. If so, will this hamper its performance in any way?

Again, thanks for all the information and for taking the time to engineer and produce a performance part for this car so late in the game!

Spartan, from the video, it looks as if you may not need to alter your setup with the cooler being that short. I would try just removing the bracket with the oil cooler still attached and temporarily drop it down while installing the Air-Guide. Then just see if it clears. I think it may..

No increased temperature or negative impacts have been found or reported at this time. Should be just fine. The air guide leaves plenty of room for air flow.
