does my car have engine oil cooler !! PIC & VID inside

BGTV8 · 09-15-2010, 05:48 AM

Guys, the "cooler" is also fitted to OZ-spec Z34, and I can tell you it does not provide any coooling. I track my Z34 regualrly and after 2-3 laps on the first track day, it would drop into oil-temp limp-home. I fitted a Stillen oil cooler, now I don't have these problems.

If you are concerned at oil-temps, fit a proper cooler as the PoS pretend cooler discovered at the top of this thread will provide marginal benefit at best .................

On the subject of finned diff covers, I have the NISMO finned cover and my viscous coupling LSD has now gone out to lunch and is not coming back (Quaife ATB differential now on order). My vehcile has covered just over 30,000 klics and 7 track days now ..... at the end of the day, Mr Nissan has engineered a damn fine daily driver, but it ain't a track day weapon by any stretch. Mind you, nit many cars actually are until they;ve had a few grand tipped into them.

Q8y_drifter · 10-28-2010, 07:12 AM

do you have a picture? you sure it's not the power steering fluid cooler?

docaam · 10-28-2010, 07:44 AM

yeah its in the pic below the one in lower left corner?

Q8y_drifter · 10-28-2010, 07:54 AM

That's the power steering fluid cooler. All cars have that.

docaam · 10-28-2010, 08:03 AM

maa bad then, a guy told me when i was ordering GTM oil cooler that this is the transmission cooler so you dont need it, and the worst I trusted him lol

Q8y_drifter · 10-28-2010, 08:34 AM

Take a look at page 4. The cooler on the right is the factory trans oil cooler. I replaced it with a larger Setrab 19 row cooler

Hahah...nice. I like how one of our pics have found its way onto another site for usage.

I actually spoke to a Nissan Engineer the other day regarding these difference between the various markets. He explained to me that there are really three markets that Nissan designs and builds vehicles for.

1. US Market
2. European/Japanese Markets
3. Middle Eastern Market

He claimed that the European markets were notorious on brakes while the Middle Eastern Markets were notorious on High Diff and Oil Temps. This obviously confirms what has been discussed here.

Just out of curiousity...do you guys also have the Rear Fog Light as well on your 370z's in Kuwait? I am just curious to see what other options and features we installed from Nissan.

yes , the rear fog light comes as standard

the 19" rays wheels also as standard (we don't have the 18")

+ the sport package (big breaks, front under chin and rear spoiler all are standard)

yet, we'll never get the HDD feature you have with you nav system

Q8y_drifter · 10-29-2010, 09:21 AM

I don't think so. I've only seen a handful of Z34's here (the Z33 was around $42,000 and now the Z34 freakin cost $58,000+ at the dealer!)

docaam do they come with the fog light?

BTW, I saw this Z33 HR from a French forum. It has the same finned diff housing we have as well as the sandwich plate oil cooler from factory. Idk but I think the euro market got them too.

BTW, we also have a different radiator reservoir. Here's a pic of mine.

I don't know whats different about it other than the cap :/

Q8y_drifter · 10-30-2010, 03:19 AM

Yeah the HDD really bugs me. I wanna convert mine to HDD but dunno where to start :/

docaam · 10-30-2010, 12:13 PM

the ones in UAE with GCC specs are with rear fog light and front headlamp washers and non HDD system, that only in Patrol
