Awesome, thanks a ton for the response Dustin. As far as budgeting goes, to me, there's really no price to put on the safety of my motor. I'd much rather shell out a few extra hundo now and know that I'm taking all the necessary precautions rather than realize later that I should have gone with something larger.

When you say that our oil temps may be a little lower than we like, at what temp does it become "Too low?" I've think I read somewhere that 160-180F is about the lowest one would want their temps to go but I'm not sure. Since my Nismo doubles as my daily driver, under normal driving conditions on a moderate temperature day, it will sit at around 200F. Would the 34-row drive the temperatures significantly lower than that 160-180 range? (if that is indeed the correct operating temp)

Thanks again for all your help
