This weekend I had the official 370 nismo oil cooler installed. Quality of the kit has no equal, and the setrab 34 row cooler is HUGE. Took it for a ride and normal temps used to be 220 cruising "I'm in Guam" and 200 just siting there. Now It cruises at 175-180 and I can't get it over 200 even when on it hard...... Sounds great right? Here's the problem. Everyone here knows what a super charged car sounds like right? That whining whirring noise? Well that's what it sounds like with this cooler installed. I've seen a million "my cooler makes noise" threads but so far no one seems to know what the **** they are talking about. I'm about 99% sure the noise is not a malfunction or defect and it's something I will just have to live with. This isn't the first cooler I've put on a 370, and yes the other one whirred too. And it wasn't even a setrab. What I would like to know is an actually intelligent explanation from ANY company that designs a cooler for a 370 what the **** the noise actually is!! I would be perfectly content with a simple "it's normal" from em. Anyone have any real, non opinion related info on the subject ?
