oh ok cool thanx. I had gotten my kit from nissan north america for free and installed for free. By the time i bought the thermostatic adapter and failed at finding fittings, I called z1 and got the hoses out of their kit and spent as much money as it would have cost to get the kit you are getting. On the bright side I have the 34 row cooler.

Z1 has not changed their hoses, I just got off the phone with Spencer @ Z1, it's the same shrink wrap (black netting plastic protective) that they sell as an option with their kits. I bought this option ($30) when I ordered my kit. The truth is, he said to get some heater hose or water hose or low pressue fuel line hose and insulate it where ever it touches any body parts. He said they probably should add some to the kits for future sales. Dunno if it will happen thou. One note he made that was interesting is that it's not widespread and specific to no certain model or year but some cars are more noisey than others meaning it's just how they are mfg'd. So some may get the whine noise and some may not, but it's safe insurance to spend the extra $10 on the above mentioned insulatation hose and wrap it (sleeve it) when there is any contact with other parts of the car or the body of the car. I will be heading out this Sat for some hoses prior to my installation.

Ugghh...just glanced at the title of this thread "Stillen oil cooler" and the current topic is Z1 oil coolers. Maybe we should move this discussion over to the several Z1 oil cooler threads. At least then we can get some feedback from John and Dustin @Z1.

Maybe a moderator can move all post from # 82 onward over to the above Z1 thread?

Thread was created and all posts moved to the right section since their Z1 related.

^Thanks Trips

Heater hose, 3/4 inner diameter, sliced and then wrapped with electrical tape did the job....no whine noise. Wrapped the section comiing across the front crash bar, then where it passes between the frame of the car. Right after the 1' white spacer.
