My oil cooler block off plate is a partial one and luckily (not intended) perfectly/barely fits through the front openings so I can remove and place it without bumper removal. It is a bit tight to get my hands through though so it mgiht not work if you have big hands/wrists. I find that partial block off to be just right so far for socal as my temps can get up to 200-210 in street driving and stay just above 180 generally when cruising at night. That's with temps in the 50s and up though for colder nights. On the way to the track (the ngiht before, and in an area I never drive to otherwise so it doesn't usually pertain to me), the temps outside dropped into the 30s and my car was down to like 160 when cruising. I'm not sure how cold it gets up where you are so a partial block -off might not be good enough for you. It does make it eays to adjust though if it is adequate enough to keep your tmeps up in your area.

Hey Bruce, thanks for the feedback. My hands are too big for any kind of adjustment thru the grill. I have a full cover plate modded up. My temps right now are about the same for daytime and early morning has been in the 30's. I am going to try blocking off 80% at first at test it to see where the temps settle in on the gauge and then adjust for the sensor error (or misplacement by Nissan). If it's a 20 ~ error reading on the high side then 170 on the guage would be actually 190 which would be my ideal minimun temp. Trial and error and for the time being I will probably access the cover plate thru the underbelly plastic cover at least until I can mod something else. Will be installing the oil cooler this Sunday with some friends.
Good morning Mr Onzedge! You got mail on FB.
Happy Weds, we made to hump day, now where is Friday. |
