FINALLY started to work on the Z a bit today. I got the Mishimoto oil cooler kit back on the car and realized that its not quite everything I was hoping for. I will not be making a mounting kit for this oil cooler just because it takes a bit too much work to make it fit well being a universal kit. The first time I mounted the cooler to the car I did a half *** job just to get it on the car for testing. This time I took the time to mount it better and although I have it on my car the way I want it, it just takes too much work to make it fit right for me to offer a proper mounting kit. Its still a great kit for those who don't mind spending the time to make everything fit perfect.

Mishimoto universal oil cooler kit:

Pure Power oil filter mated to Mishimoto sandwich plate.

I have also decided to hold off on installing the SPC rear toe bolts just because I don't need them at this point and because installation requires some drilling on the car to make the holes a bit bigger and I just don't want to do that for a part that I don't NEED at this point.

Tomorrow the Nismo wheel studs will go in, the Hawk HP+ brake pads will go back in, and the spare tire/tools/ trunk plastics will come back out.
