Mike0983....I apologize for the delay in response. I do not think I even came close to a computer on Sunday (working the preparing my Z for the ZDayz event coming up in a few weeks time) and I am not in the office on Mondays.

Shipping to you in Switzerland is completely doable! We ship all over the globe daily. I will be sure to put a tack on our map because I think you would be our first customer in Switzerland if I remember correctly. I will PM you a price quote in just a few minutes.

The temperatures that you are experiencing are along the lines of the cars here in the northern United States. As I mentioned to Coyote above, a 25 row would definitely be a good start and is slightly cheaper if you are on a budget. If you are tracking the car, I would not go smaller than a 25 row.

Do you plan on driving the car much during the colder winter months?

If so, then I would recommend getting the optional thermostatic sandwich plate and the line wrapping. We have found that the line wrapping can actually help keep the heat radiating off the oil cooler lines IN as opposed to allowing it to radiate out. In my opinion, this is good no matter where you live as it will help keep the lines from radiating extra heat around and on to sensitive items. In your case, it will also act as an insulator for the lines to potentially aid in keeping the oil warm. You will also most likely need to block off the oil cooler core during the extreme cooler months. Refer to some of the above posts I have made about this. I know that Spohn here in Georgia has an ideal setup on his car that allows the block off plate to be removed quickly. The only thing I would not recommend is the use of Velcro since, in time, it will loose its ability to stick to the oil cooler core and will fall off (unless you are able to get a Velcro with an adhesive that is capable of handling 100 F+ temperatures).

I hope that this has answered your questions! Be sure to post up some pics of your Z. I believe that you are the first Z owner hailing from Switzerland here on The370Z.com
