Q8Y_Drifter,
Thanks for posting up those pics!

My 370z does not have this!

Dustin@Z1

Yeah, its only on certain NONE-USDM models.

Nissan is playing games with everyone. Canadian NISMO's get Navi and Middle Eastern 370z get an oil cooler.

The world is a big place. Lots of other markets get different equipment (and have different customer preferences) than ours. It's not just Nissan..

I guess Nissan thought we preferred our cars to over heat and go into limp mode.

Modshack

That's an over-reaction in the US market. It just doesn't happen on the street (unless you drive like a total A$$hole). Wanna track your car? get a cooler.

To revive an old thread I have a 2012 Base Z that I bought used at a dealer here in MN and I have that oil cooler thing and couldnt figure out what it was now I bought the DIY oil cooler from race parts wholesale and got a thermo sandwhich plate can I install it piggyback to the existing cooler?

If you dont do spirited driving all the time and no plans of doing track days you should be fine with the factory cooler. But if you still want to have your aftermarket oil cooler. Take off the factory oil cooler.

Actually in Canada we cannot even order the nismo... Our 40th can have a nav though

So, the question now is will the dealers order and install one and keep warranty in tact. I still want something, but really do not want to void warranty just yet....

Dustin@Z1

Hard to tell. I will tell you this. Any item that comes from out of the country...either from Japan, Europe or Canada for a Nissan Dealership is channeled thru Nissan Motorsports.

Based on my experience it will take a LONG time to get. Some of these obscure parts are nearly impossible due to the various red tape and bureaucracy of NNA and Nissan Motorsports. If you want to get it faster than 6~8 weeks (or MORE) would personally recommend getting in contact with a dealership overseas and order it directly.

This will cost a bit more but will get you the parts alot quicker.

I currently have a customer looking for the JDM Headlight Sprayers for the 370z. I have been beating these guys up for weeks about a response on prices and availability with no luck.

OP,
Take a look at your rear diff cover. Is it finned and not smooth?

Dustin

super_fla

yes, its finned, my previous 350z also had finned rear differential conver

Q8y_drifter

dude you're in Kuwait, we have finned diffs for the Z's and G's from factory (and maybe even other cars). Not the diff cover but the diff housing itself is finned. Here's a pic on my G35 sedan. US Z's and G's have a smooth diff with no fins.

That is what Nismo calls their NISMO DIFF COVER for the 370z/350z. It is ONLY available in the middle eastern markets and comes factory over there.

I heard rumors in the past that it was a factory part for you guys, but I could never get a clean cut answer. This confirms it in my mind.

Thanks guys!

Q8y_drifter

That's actually not the cover, but the diff casing that's finned. I haven't seen it used anywhere except in the ME spec Nissans.
