^lol I like how they follow it up with "Regardless. . . " It's almost like they're saying 'Yeah we discovered this really serious issue. So anyway, we really liked the paint job.'

Maybe they're just relying on the fact that 90% of people are just going to cruise around town with them and never run into this issue. They at least should have made it a factory option or part of the sport package. Seems counter-intuitive that they install performance brakes and a LSD yet don't expect you to actually drive it hard.

Post Conclusion

It's been over a week, Nissan has no answers, they are clueless to even if they have the parts anywhere, even with me willing to pay they still can't come up with it. As if the Nismo 370Z thats already out in Japan doesn't have one!? Right....

I can't let some stupid $400 dollar part eat me up and the more I talk to Nissan the more I dislike them. So, I called up Stillen, ordered their Oil Cooler, Exhaust, Gen 3 Intake. It will be better quality then factory anyway....
I'm looking forward to getting my parts on and enjoying the hell out of my Z...


I appreciate the support from everyone.

I checked with my dealership abut the oil cooler issue and they were not aware of one (from Nissan) being available yet. I was told that if I bought a quality after market oil cooler and had them install it they would consider it like "original equipment".

I bet Nissan will offer one soon (< 6 months) to the dealerships (IMO)

I mentioned this to the service manager at the dealership I bought mine from yesterday. He suggested trying a different coolant ratio. Although, he couldn't offer any advice about what ratio would be more effective.

Distilled water is the best possible heat conductor (liquid). Just enough anti-corrosive anti-freeze needs to be added (Ethylene Glycol). In a relatively warm climate like So Cal or TX I would go for 80% pure distilled water, 20% Glycol. The standard up here in the cold parts is 50/50.

Check out what is available for an Ohio license plate. I just keyed it in and checked the Ohio BMV web site for availability

Adding in a bottle of Water Wetter might help too. It's one of the first things I do to every car I buy.

The radiator is a good topic. Since we are out of the sub zero range here in Ohio, not the freezing range, I plan to dump 1/2 the coolant and fill with water and a bottle of water wetter. Every little bit helps.
