Don't need to. If you are a track car and worried about oil temps, then a dry sump is the way to go. Otherwise, just do proper ducting and install hood vents. Move the oil cooler to the side

thanks for reply.

Oil temperature isnt issues. Issue is weight and engine bay temperature.

I have two oil coolers in the rows and I will most probably relocate them to the centre because brakes and tires are overheating after several laps.

Over winter I will gutt my nismo and thinking about realocating some of the weight to the rear of the car. Thats why I´m asking is somebody did this with 370z. I know about many people doing this to BMW´s but none with Z.
