2012s on lots....where are the oil coolers?

MJB · 10-19-2011, 06:49 PM

Hey guys, I was looking around on courtesyparts website just to see if maybe another Nissan model ran a similar type oil cooler. It looks like the Altima does.. Look at the V6 model diagram. And it looks like just for the cooler part is around 280$

I have adapters stacked on my car for months now. No issues. It's actully a very common pratice, especially with a FI setups. The Greddy plate I have actully uses a two gasket system for there universal. So when I was playing with it I actually saw I could use both gaskets (the smaller and larger one) and the would seat perfect up against the GTM sandwich plate.

But you could just buy the Greddy plate that's a all in one thermo plate with ports for your gauge sensors.

This is the part where it's universal where the gasket rings lay. I put both in. They seated in the above right picture on the solid part of the surface. They fit perfect without the inner gasket collapsing within the open portion of the thermo plate.

So how hard do you guys think it would be to retrofit this new water/cooled system for the 09-11 Z's? I would be interested in buying it as I am a little skeptical with these aftermarket oil coolers. I'm sure it wouldn't be up to par for track use but definitely an upgrade for street and spirited driving use.

See if you can get any info on the brake cooling ducts too.

I'm way more interested it this than the cooler.

I still have not found any evidence of brake ducts. Still waiting on someone to scan the brochure in.

No dealers here no anything about them.

Go on Nissans website and select the 2012 370Z. Go to the "Features Gallery" then select "engineering" Click the tiny arrow at the bottom of the pic until you get to a pic of the Brakes then read the description.

GODDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does it not say "Purpose-Designed ducting helps reduce fade" More then likely Nissan is just saving money and instead of changing pics on there website they just change the description.

It does, but people want to see the actual product.

Even more importantly, they want to be able to retrofit it onto their Z's.
