looks like its got the same water cooler like the 350Z then, to be honest it did not seem to really cool the engine down much in the old Z, and if you think about it, it is using hot coolant which sits around 100degC, compared to air which is under 30degC and its surface is just too small. In my old Z I put on a small oil cooler first (I think it was 12 row or something) and I was still hitting 150degC (302degF), so I replaced it with 25 row or so and it brought it down to around 130degC (266degF).

I am getting an oil cooler for sure anyway because I cannot see how the car can handle the heat otherwise. Thanks again for the info :tiphat:

My '13 370Z is a slight improvement over my '08 350Z. I still think the 350Z is more aesthetically sound with a better exhaust note, but the 370Z's interior is so much better and the more agressive exterior adds character. The extra horsepower is also a plus.

Is the Z34 a better car? It sure is. Was it worth the upgrade? Probably not.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully I will find the new car a worthy upgrade :excited:

not worried about moisture in the oil that you cant boil out during your commute?

nope. car doesnt really come out in anything below 45-50 very often. as long as the oil temp gauge gets to within a low operating temp, then i don't worry

Very nice. I like your plan. Since Steve Millen is locally known, I got the Stillen exhaust and intakes. People know it is my car, vs any other, when I go by.
