New Z Owner in Austin, TX!

JARblue · 05-15-2018, 03:42 PM

Welcome to the forum fellow local

I help out with basic maintenance and mod installs for a number of other local Z owners. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to contact me.

DO NOT get the miSHITmoto oil cooler. It's Chinese garbage, and they will not warranty your blown engine when the O-ring fails and your oil dumps out all over the street.

Fast Intentions seems to have the best quality product, but Z1 and Stillen make perfectly capable oil coolers as well.

I recommend an exhaust and a tune to go with your intakes. Those three items are the best bang for your buck combo. Add some test pipes and you've basically maxed out your N/A power without heading down the rabbit hole and spending ridiculous money for very little power in return.

Thats great! Appreciate the input, it's the first Z owner-to-Z owner advice I've gotten, and I'll definitely look into it (sounds convincing enough to me). Nice to meet you boss

Welcome to the 370Z forums. Congratulations and definitely research this forum before you purchase any mods for your Z. Don’t get the Mishimoto oil cooler save yourself the misery. There are other brand oil coolers for our cars that are better quality and are efficient.

For sure, getting a clear message to stay away from those. Thought I would drop the oil cooler company name in order to get input on their products that I hadnt heard before. Appreciate it!
