Figured I'd just bump this thread vs. creating a new one just to piggyback on what everyone already knows which is these oil cooler kits rock.
had our Z1 34R oil cooler w/thermostatic plate and protective sheathing installed on Sat by our mechanic. When the kit arrived a couple weeks ago, everything was there and the instructions were very clear. Our installer even commented that the instuctions were very good (not that he needed them). I haven't heard any strange sounds or any other hint that we added anything to the car other than the dramatically reduced oil temps. It does take a bit longer to get up to operating temp (160 deg +) but that was to be expected.
For fellow nismo owners, all we had to to was flip that front yamaha brace 180 deg so the "fat" side of the shock was on the passenger side and there is just a smidgen of space betwn the shock and the front of the oil cooler. I'm going to keep an eye on that area but with no moving parts around, I don't think there'll be a problem.
thanks Z1 for producing such a well thought out and functional kit at a reasonable $ to boot.
