which brand of oil cooler?

SPOHN · 08-12-2011, 07:19 PM

What still worries me is that the oil light came on? But sounds as if it may of lost pressure but there was plenty of oil to keep things good for that moment. But what was the sound you heard? Are you saying the line came out from the fitting?

OZShifter88,
I apologize for the issue with our kit. From speaking with the guys at Performance Race Solutions, we will be replacing the line as "defective" and will be consulting with our manufacturer about the failure. This is a highly unusual type of failure and one that I am interested in investigating further once I recieve the line.

I have pulled all oil cooler lines off of the shelf this morning and personally inspected each of their fittings. All lines on the shelf are correct and free of any defects. I will be speaking with our guys in Receiving on Monday and will be adding a few more points to our QC Check List for the Z1 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler Kit.

Big props Dustin.

But I'd like to state to everyone and anyone that things like this can happen. They hardly ever happen but you can't always take it for granted that it won't. This is modding. But this could of been much worse. Props to the OP for getting his motor turn off quickly. Unfortunately this type of mishap can cause bad things. Of course if the motor blew I would of removed the cooler and then take it to the dealer. Hehe.

Well I have a track weekend coming up in August at Roebling Road and I am very aware of the oil cooler being a requirement, just not sure as to which brand I should be looking at, was hoping too see what most of you guys use. And also what kind of price I should be looking at for the install. Thanks!

What about the break in period? Hope you get your car back on the road soon.

I have the nismo cooler on my.... Nismo lol. Seemed appropriate and omg does it work, 34 row with steel braided tube as big around as a damn quarter.... Car used to run 200+ in guam normal stop and go city driving. Now its back in ohio and it actually runs a little cold. Highway temls at 70mph on a 90 degree day are about 150, ive beat the ever living hell out of it at the track and it barely touches 200 now. So i need, and recomend a plate. Oh, and it whines if that bothers u. Everyone bitches about the price but i can say from experience now that its that expensive for a reason.

chii370 · 08-21-2011, 10:03 PM

Speaking of which, hate to double post but im not starting a thread for a related question. Where can i buy a thermal plate for the nismo motorsports kit? Anyone know? Will another companies fit it?

The TRUE NISMO 370Z Oil cooler is super expensive. I am assuming that he is referring to the Nissan Motorsports Kit. The TRUE Nismo oil cooler locates the oil cooler core in the driver side fender well and comes complete with ducts, a vented fender liner and all brackets, etc.

If I recall correctly, that kit was something like $1,200.00 USD.

The Nissan Motorsports Kit can be purchased from a few different vendors here on the370.com site. We offer it as an alternative to our Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler:
