12 NISMO Oil Cooler

Dustin@Z1 · 07-03-2012, 01:46 PM

In my opinion the factory cooler on the 2012 is great to have in addition to a external oil cooler like the Z1, Stillen, GTM, etc. Reason being, the OEM oil cooler now installed on the 2012 will help regulate the oil temps in colder climates. Since 200*F+ coolant is constantly circulating, this will help to keep oil temps from getting too low.

By itself, the 2012 oil cooler will work just fine correcting some of the '09-'11's issues. But even in an autocross/track day enviornment, the oil temps can still get hotter than desired.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have plenty of information on whether the stock oil cooler will suffice for daily driving or tracking. I am thinking about supercharging so I have come to the conclusion that I would need either another oil cooler or simply an upgraded oil cooler.
