Yeah, what's wrong with it?

I see you listed a gearbox oil cooler. Is this Nismo an auto or manual?
Also I see a diff cooler listed. Is this a bought aftermarket or a DIY? Got pictures of it?

Not sure who the manufacturer is of the gearbox and diff cooler however they were professionally fitted by a 370z specialist company at the same time as the Stillen supercharger and the other items. Will call them and find out for you.

The car is a 6 speed manual.

The gearbox cooler isn't needed unless you're tracking the car. The diff cooler will help the stock VLSD last a little longer. You want it to handle better. Install a better LSD in the diff. Something like a OS Giken, Cusco, Wavetrac, or a Quaife.

Would like to see pictures from under the car. See how they have the coolers set-up.

All Nismo's tramline some what, because of the wide front tires. You should feel it on a freshly grooved road or a grated bridge with 285/35-19's on the front and 345/30-19 on the rear.

The 2016 Supercharged Nismo drives as straight as an arrow and only tramlines occasionally unlike my 2018 Nismo which crabs and tramlines continiously unless the Road is perfectly smooth.

Here are some photos of the underneath of the Supercharged Nismo. Work was undertaken prior to me purchasing the car, however I do have original invoice for the work undertaken.

From new the car didn’t drive straight, tramlines badly. Seemed to be crabbing whilst driving on a straight road if the road surface was less than perfectly smooth. Very strange sensation of the car moving slightly to the left and then to the right etc. Felt a little like driving on marbles or ball bearings etc.

Drives very different from all the other 370z Nismos which I have driven including my 2016 Supercharged Nismo.

Had the geometry checked and adjusted 3 times, however caster angle is slightly outside manufacturers tolerance. Also 2018 Nismo have Dunlop GP600 Tyres rather than the Bridgestone Tyres on the earlier models,
