Sorry for not having any pix but I will take some next time I pull the nose off...
I just finished my cooler install. I went with a 34 row Setrab, 210 degree Mocal sandwich plate and Aeroquip reusable fittings. I spec'ed the large cooler to combat the lack of cooling here in Colorado due to thin air, low humidiity and high temps. I spec'ed the 210 degree plate so the oil temps woud get high enough to boil off any moisture in the system.
I used Modshack's hose routing scheme except I accessed the cooler from the top.
A few interesting notes:
- The 34 row cooler is big and requires an alternate mounting scheme because the standard bracket doesn't allow the cooler to be optimally positioned. The Z1 Motorsports pictures showing the Nissan Motorsports cooler install has a smaller core (even though they state a 34 row) and does not represent the 34 row Setrab that I installed.
- I ended up installing some rivet nuts into the lower aluminium cross bar to mount the cooler.
- I used clear tubing to prevent the SS hose form abrading other parts of the car and keep the good looks of the SS hose.
- The hoses are easy to make. I recommend using the Aeroquip soft vice jaws and an aluminum wrench so you don't mar the fittings.
So far oil temps have not exceeded 210 on the street. I will be at the track next weekend and should be able to provide an update.
