With my involvement in the assembly of the Z1 Oil Cooler Kit, if I recall correctly, the HD Cooler you are speaking about is too large to fit on the 370Z. There are many design considerations you have to consider. The frame of the oil cooler has to fit against the engine without contacting anything and be able to have the line attached. Additionally, even though the Sandwich plate has a M20x1.25 thread pitch, the diameter of the O-ring and O-ring seat are critical. I recall investigating a few models on the market that would "technically" bolt on, but the O-ring of the oil filter was too narrow and risked causing a leak. Keep this in mind with searching for alternatives.

There is a valve that moves in response to Oil Temp. It should be OPEN when cold. Then close off (EXTEND) when Oil Temps rise.
