Hey everyone, I just bought a new 2014 Nismo. I want to do some up grades to it. Already got a fast dimensions cat back with hfc's and stillen gen 3 intake. I was wondering what else (kind of minor) that could be done. Are things like oil cooler and clutch helper spring good to have? Or are they really not necessary.
Thank you for your help. |

I am guessing you mean Fast Intentions? Anyways, what exactly are you looking for out of the car?
1. Clutch helper spring. Do you mind how the stock clutch feels? 2. Oil cooler. You have the OEM one since your car is a 14, have you had any issues with oil temps?

Lol, yeah, brain fart there. I haven't noticed anything weird about the clutch, was just wondering if it helped at all. Nothing with the oil temp as of yet. Have just read in a few places that it is notorious for running high on the Z's

The easiest way to tell if you would like the clutch helper spring is to just take out the spring that is there now. You can drive around for a bit without it there to see if you like the way it feels. When you put the new clutch spring in it feels the same way.
As far as the oil cooler if you don't plan on tracking your car you should be fine with the stock oil cooler you have in the car now. Other little things you could try is to maybe do something with your headlights or to upgrade your sound system. There are plenty DIY threads to re-do your lights or suggestions for audio upgrades.

If you happy with the clutch, leave it alone.
Pre 2013 had a bigger issue with oil temperatures. But only if you track the car or live in a very hot climate. You might have to wait until the hot Jersey summer to see if it's an issue. |

Oil temps shouldn't b a problem for the op in jersey. I've driven around in mid 90 degree temps in the middle of August and I was fine. Even made a trip down to North Carolina with no overheating issues. |

Ok, thanks for the advice everyone, I appreciate it.
Already upgraded the head unit, I couldn't take that god awful factory one. Tint is done, CAI and CBE, HFC will be done shortly! |

I'd put in sway bars and lowering springs like swifts or stiffer H&Rs before the cooler. Makes the driving experience way better.
