Sorry guys,

But please cite your source which says Nissan Z 2012 will have an oil cooler. I am not talking about gossip car sites, I am referring an official press release or nissan site where u build your car..

Cheers,

I have a letter sent to Corporate Nissan USA in regards to finding out what the gameplan is for 2009-2011 Z owners.

From my take, the dealers told me they were against installing an oil cooler as it's an aftermarket part, but, now, w/ the 2012 release, I don't see how their argument is justified, when the same engine from previous years now has a standard oil cooler.

Hopefully corporate can provide an answer.

Will keep you guys posted.

It would be great if most of us on this forum can start a dialogue w/ corporate and see what their plan is for 2009 - 2012, knowing there is an issue which warranted the oil cooler on 2012 as standard equipment.

Everyone has an opinion on this subject, and alot of folks cry and whine and become complacent and deal w/ it, but unless owners speak up, and be proactive, nothing will get done.

well its 3 years to late. i won't hold my breath waiting for a letter from nissan
telling me to come get my new oil cooler. luckily over heating hasn't been a problem for me. but i know it has been for others...

let me put another spin on this. i'm betting nissan is getting ready for 2013 or 2014 for a complete redo of the z with at least 375-400 hp and no way these
newer models would do without a oil cooler.. imho

I agree but don't hold your breath until you see the new G37 or G first. The year after you will see a new Z. That's not going to happen quite yet. The altima and sentra will get new models next year. The maxima will see a dramatic refresh. The versa cube and trucks will get nothing until the new Z comes out. After all these refreshes, you will see the new G. Then you will see the new Z. So in late 2014: you will see a 2015:

Even if Nissan provides an oil cooler it is probably going to be very small and only suitable for daily driving and not extended spirited driving or track days. I don't know why everyone is still making a big deal out of this issue. If you did your research before buying the car you knew that the oil heat issue was there, chuck up the $400-$600 dollars depending on how big of a cooler you want and get it installed with your next oil change its really not all that difficult.

Hahahaha

bladeZ this is the Z forums not the gencoupe forums. What the hell is that post about???? Are you the sudden predictor that nissan will install a sh1t product? What proof do you have of this???? I haven't found a sh1t part in my car yet. My car is well built. Unless you are pushing 500+hp, why do you need a large oil cooler??? The smallest oil cooler will probably suffice for street and light track duty. For this car to be safe. It needs about a 20 degree drop. Nothing more. The right synthetic and the smallest oil cooler available with k&n filters will keep this car as kool as you need it.

Where do you want me to start, I love the Z but I can name a few. Stock stereo blows, bose system blows, brake fluid and stock brake sport pads blow. M6 transmission blows, way to clunky, VLSD blows, stock exhaust system way to restrictive. Nissan didn't put an oil cooler to cut price in the first place, they aren't going to come down from the heavens with a great oil cooler especially since for all "regular" purposes the car drives just fine without one.
