I highly recommend getting the thermostatic plate upgrade, this way your oil isn't "overcooled" and can get up to optimal operating temps for best lubrication
Make sure you make a block off plate for him. The 34 row will pretty much overcool the oil unless you're driving it hard in the summer or on the track. DD'd my Z in the summer with it and couldn't even get temps up to 180 with normal driving.

I'm gonna be honest with you Dee, just listen to what I tell you. You absolutely do not need an oil cooler in this area unless you track your car. Even with 100 degree heat and heavy traffic, my temps never reached the point where an oil cooler was necessary. The only time I got close outside of the track was the one cruise we did in the summer when it was like 100 degrees. Even then, I shifted up 1 gear and was ok in a couple mins. An oil cooler for you would be a complete waste of money.

That's what the thermostatic plate adapter is, it works in the same fashion as your coolant thermostat, opening only when it reaches a certain temperature

You may choose between the Standard Non-Thermostatic Mocal Sandwich Plate adapter and a Thermostatic model. It is highly recommended that a Thermostatic sandwich plate adapter be purchased when installing an oil cooler onto a street driven 370Z. As important as it is to keep high oil temperatures under control, it is just as important to maintain the proper temperature to ensure the highest possible lubrication.

Even with the thermostatic plate adapter a lot of people still need to block the cooler off. The thermostatic plates are never 100% closed. They always allow for some flow to avoid thermostatic shock when it opens fully.

Usually, when "closed," there is still around 10% flow, which in winter is enough to require a physical blocking plate for the cooler itself.

when i came down there 2 weeks ago i didnt block mine off. the whole trip down it was only like 35 degrees out my oil temp was like 145. i know thats lower than optimal temp but not bad for no time to mack a blocking plate on a 34 row in freezing air lol

Not All Z's are the same. Mine would hit 240° just cruising along at 70 miles per hour in weather over 85°. ANY spirited driving would easily drive it to 250°.

With the oil cooler I can still make mine hit 240° pretty easily... 260° now takes some work... I am probably going to vent my fenderwell this summer.

In AZ (Avg temps during cruises were between 80-100*f) would easily spike up to 240 or higher depending on the grade we were traveling.

Oil coolers are good, that's why they make different sizes. A 19 row would probably work fine, and he can still make the block off plate and only remove it when he plans on cruses/tracking.

Thanks, see Chris and I are on the same page.. shut it blades! My Z is in much much better condition than yours is, buddy.

Talk about that!
