No lead time, we try to keep several in stock. Heat up time is fine for DD. I DD with it and b/c of the design we keep pressure drop minimal so it allows the car to get up to proper temp properly.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I'm still in the research phase of deciding which one to get and I really want to make the right choice here. Your's is pricey but if it can keep it cool on a 95 degree day at the track, then I'll spend the extra $$.

I am in New England and I will be driving my car in some cooler and wider ranging temps (40's - 90's) and want the most cooling as possible without worrying about reaching a decent temp. I haven't found anyone reviewing it yet online who has actually installed it. And your website still doesn't have it listed in the products section nor does it have any installation instructions/info just so I can see what's what. Thanks in advance!

"Paul Dentice in the AE Performance 370z takes 1st at Spring Mountain

Recap by Paul D.
Spring Mountain was a first for the AE crew and with 18 turns it was anything but easy to figure out the fast way through the course, but fortuneately NV locals including Mike and the Double Down crew were super cool in lending a helping hand.

On track the car felt rock solid. The AE preped JIC dampers allowed for late apexing and a planted rear end through the high speed sections even with the old tires we were on. (3 track days).

We switched to Ferodo RS3000 pads for our AP brakes that ended up being a bit too aggressive in the rear but a quick swap to a milder Mintex pad in the rear settled the car much more and was easier to keep stright under hard braking.

Heat was a major issue for everyone. With the Oil Cooler upgrade we were still only able to complete 1 hot lap before the oil temps hit 280deg and the car wouldn’t rev past 5k rpm’s.

After all was said and done, We were all really impressed with the Z. With viturally no power mods out-side of a Stillen intake and Mine’s Flash we were solely relying on the Z’s chassie to pull through for us and it did! Rich placed 5th in Modified RWD Class in the GT2, GTR (DNF),and I grabbed top honors in SS RWD class with the Z, and was able to make the 4.5hr drive back to the OC without a hick-up."

Good eye!

This was all before we developed our own kit and were running other manufactures kits. Spring Mountain was the 2nd cooler kit we tired from another company that only allowed 1 hot-lap. We tired one more kit on the market after that and then deiced to just build our own kit.

We have had nothing but 100% satisfaction from all of our customers that run out kit.

You'd probably get more takers if you were to show potential buyers the kit installed with the nose off (showing how it is arranged) and with the nose on to demonstrate what it looks like through the grill opening.

I do like the fact that it is along similar lines as ARC's and Central 20's.

Where are the lines assembled and what size are they?

djohnson1967 · 04-09-2010, 02:48 PM

Hello: Do you have installation instructions that you can post or e-mail to me? What about the pricing? Can I still get the member deal of $995? I you sent at least 4 kits already. Let me know what you can do on the price. Thanks

wavehogger · 04-09-2010, 04:39 PM

I am on the verge of purchasing one myself and would like to see the installation instructions and some pics. And will this fit ok with the Stillen Gen 3 intakes? Thanks

Paul@AEperformance · 04-13-2010, 09:10 PM

Hi guys,

You won't be dissapointed! I will post some install pic's for you and as I mentioned the kits all come with instructions.
This kit will work w/ Stillen Gen 3 intakes No Problem. Same intake we run on our car

Paul@AEperformance · 04-13-2010, 09:11 PM

Thanks, Double Down Mike for your order.

Your kit is on it's way!

ChrisSlicks · 04-13-2010, 10:32 PM

Thanks for the info Paul.

I have to say I'm a little surprised by the -8 line size given the high flow rate though the oil system in this car, but I'm sure you've done your homework.

Is there bypass protection in the adapter plate?

1)What is (if any) oil pressure drop? Do you have any oil pressure readings when the oil temps is lower than 185 degrees and at approx. 190-220 degrees,and more than 220 degrees?

2)Do you have to relocate the power steering cooler?

3) Can you add remote oil fileter (i.e. like Amsoil by-pass oil filter or)?

4) Can you add a oil pressure sender and oil pressure gauge? If so, were would this sender by located?

5) Do the oil cooler impede the radiator's flow/cooling? Any water temps before/after the oil cooler's install would be helpful in making up my mind on its purchase.

simons · 05-18-2010, 07:48 PM

How do you go about ordering one? Tried logging onto your online store and it's under construction or something. Also, is it still the same price as when you first released it?

MUST · 05-22-2010, 02:45 AM

Got mine installed at AE today.

Great job on installation, very thorough and precise.

before install, my oil temps ranged from 230-250 (mild driving/traffic) and after install i averaged about 200!

To Paul, Casey and the guys at AE Performance...thanks for the awesome install job, really made me feel like this oil cooler kit was custom made for my Z, in many ways i guess it was!
