I am trying to maintain an oem look to the car while solving the temp issues. Id prefer not to start adding on aftermarket body panels..

If it gets to that, ill end up upgrading the rad and possibly add a vented hood.

I have a twin turbo setup and have done a 72 oil cooler, hood and bumper vents. You will find that fmic will had additional issues to cooling. I run a combo of water wetter, antifreeze and water with oem radiator and it seems to be doing the job. Oil temps on the other hand is a mixed bag as I can run some sessions and the oil temp will be 240ish and then it will be 260 and the next back to 240ish. I would be concerned with rocks being thrown it the oil coolers mounted on the side especially if do a little off roading as I am prone to here lately. I look forward to seeing your results.

There isn’t much chance of rocks hitting the oil cooler on the side ..I have the 2017 nismo..with the different front bumper ....there is a small vent angled to direct air flow toward that area ..but it would be very slim chance of debris to getting there.....I just changed the oil and after I verify oil filter clearance I’ll plan to route it back in next oil change

I did get in mach ups of the 19 row coolers i want to have in there

After test fitting the FMIC w mach ups and looking close at finished builds, im going to have to wait until my TT is installed in late March before I can pull the trigger. I dont want to give the TT installers a headache.

Looks like I have a choice - reroute the intakes to above the factory crash bar and run out extensions from the crash bar to mount the Oil coolers at the fender wells, or see if the oil coolers can live fittings down between the charge pipes.

If i ran the stillen nose, i wouldn't be fighting myself on this.

Are you running a fan on that 72?

I am not running a fan at this time, but will be considering it with my rebuild. Got to find a way to drop 10* to 20* lol.
