I realize I could just Dremel out louvers or drill out a grid of holes but I think the louvered section looks better and has a better chance of deflecting out road debris.

Hopefully it looks something akin to this:

When I decided to go FI, I had ordered a 34R from Z1 but cancelled it. Sam said it would not work with the oil filter relocation kit. I think it probably would fit, and all I would need are custom oil hoses. Or it might interfere with the Rotrex fluid cooler, I don’t know. I went with the GTM oil cooler kit because Sam guaranteed it would all work seamlessly together. But I agree that the larger cooler would probably help with heat dissipation.



I only really notice the lag on the way home when it is well over 100 outside. I cannot wait for some cooler weather.



I will have to check this out when it is on the lift for the Greddy oil pan install. Thanks for the tip.



I have not really had a chance to really get on it hard and test the car. The first days I had the car back were on a very conservative, rich tune. I was getting 11 MPG. It also has been hotter than h@ll where I live.

I have now had the car a week with a good tune and as of today got almost 17 MPG. Normal driving is a drastic difference because there is a huge amount of power and torque available. The rush of air you here is sweet. I turned of VDC and went sideways during a 1-2 shift one day this week.

If you ask me, it is the way the car should have come from Nissan. I have not gotten to fully thrash the car and won’t until I solve my oil temp issues but so far the car rocks. The few really hard accelerations were impressive and definitely put a smile on my face.

Are you reading your mpg off of the gauge? If so that is not accurate anymore since you upgraded injectors

I am doing the mileage by trip odometer / gallons when getting fuel.

Were are you planning on getting the louvered section?

same here! That's how I'm calculating mines too.
I'm only getting a maximum of 220 miles out of 15 gallons of fuel on mixed driving. Maybe my fuel pump float valve is dirty or messed up and giving me a false reading.

Looks good. I managed to take my car out for a run this morning. Car halls azz big time. I managed to get the oil temps to 250 with my 25 row. Now my goal is to do 2 25 row . The car continues to pull big time

Good to hear you like the new power :tup:

I don't know where I would fit a 2nd 25R cooler. The Stage 2 relocates the air filter to the back of SC if I am not mistaken, so I assume this frees up space in the passenger side of the bumper for the 2nd cooler. I do not have any free space behind my bumper anywhere LOL.
