Help with purchase decision!!

Osiris · 02-02-2010, 12:12 PM

I'm about 30-60 days from ordering my Z, i wanted some feedback on whether or not i should purchase the factory oil cooler vs oil cooler from 3rd party and other optional parts.

I live in Orlando and i don't think i have a local shop (that i know of) that could reliably work on a z, so i may have to be dependent on the dealer. Anyways, i do want an oil cooler so for for a sport touring my questions are:

- order the factory oil cooler?
- order the available nismo suspension enhancements like the stabilizers, nismo suspension, v-braces etc..?
- any other ride or performance enhancing parts i should get?

thanks for any help!!!!

There is no "factory Cooler". There is a Nissan Motorsports Cooler that the dealer may or may not be familiar with. Expect to pay 3 times the cost of an aftermarket cooler for purchase and install (if they even will). On the Nismo suspension parts you can only get them on the Nismo from the factory. Again, the dealer may or may not be interested in ordering and installing those parts on a Base or sport package car, but honestly you can get better results for way less money buying aftermarket parts. You'd be best to take delivery of the car and then determine the upgrades you want to add. A good independent tuner shop will always be cheaper than the dealer for basic installs..There's undoubtedly one in your area. Ask around.
