which brand of oil cooler?

Dustin@Z1 · 01-14-2012, 03:20 PM

The core they use is a Setrab 9 series 13 row. Setrab is the same company that us (Z1), Nissan Motorsports and GTM use in our kits and is widely known and used in both OEM and Racing applications.

There are a few disadvantages to that design if you plan on going Forced Induction in the future.

Flipping the dampner will not affect the performance on the Z in any way. The ONLY downside to doing this, aside from the cost of your time, is the fact that the NISMO/AUTECH label will be upside down. If you are worried about flipping the NISMO dampner, I hope you are aware that the AAM Oil Cooler kit requires you to drill into your factory front aluminum crash bar.

Oh, I was just looking for alternatives. I have had an oil cooler that I installed myself and also needed to flip the damper. I took it off because I am still thinking about selling my car but still not fully committed in doing so. I did not know if there were per-existing holes in the crash bar though so I assumed that it was going to be drilled on.
