2012 Model Will Have OIl Cooler

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:

I don't track my car but have seen temps get up to about 260 in spirited mountain driving. While it would be nice of Nissan to retrofit coolers to older 370Z's for free I don't expect it and those of you who do are probably going to be disappointed so quit whining.
That being said, I'm going to continue to monitor the information about the cooler as more concrete data becomes known. I would pay $600-$800 for a dealer installed, warrantied part and chalk it up to experience. That would be worth it for peace of mind in my opinion.
