If that's true, it probably means air to water....hmmmm

Yeah that is what it looks like if the capacity is the same. Hmmmm

Or they didn't update the manual...

Nice thing about a/w is easy retrofit is likely.

I think a number of us have them on order, but nobody has theirs in hand yet.

I have mine on order. I know Bonzo says his will arrive November 18th. Bonzo is the first person i know of to receive a delivery date for the 2012's. I ordered mine a week after him, plus my salesman said it would be late November early December for my girl Vanity to be delivered. My VIN should be given to me soon.

I looked at the nissan home page and did a build of a 370Z and a Nismo. Under the Standard Features there is NOT an oil cooler listed nor is there an option for one.

Several people have posted that they have them, and lots of dealers have them in stock...just none near me.

tjlazer · 10-18-2011, 09:12 AM

I bet it's a dealer add on option, and I also bet the dealers will screw up and not install it on the cars for a while until it gets pointed out to them, a lot. lol

From what i read, it's a factory add on.

I'll stop at the dealership today on the way home from work . They have a pw base with sport pkg.

I kinda hope it's oil:water like that one post in the locked thread says, although it may be a relatively crappy oil:water unit though (as mentioned in the other thread, perhaps just water running through a filter adapter plate). We already have good aftermarket kits for add-on oil:air. The stock water cooling system seems to have more than enough excess capacity to help out, and it would reduce warm-up times as well.
