Someone has used one on EBAY from a G37 sport edition which he claims will fit the 370Z. I guess it's a factory part they put on the G37's. Less than $100 shipped
Don't buy that one. The only way a G37 got a factory oil cooler would have been the same POS oil to water unit they put on 2012+ Zs. Buy a real oil cooler. I'd make sure to get a thermostatic sandwich plate instead of a regular one as well. Do it right the first time. And if you're mechanically capable of changing oil, you can handle the oil cooler install no problem.
