New England driver so still cool outside, normally oil in low 200's, but noticed immediately after short period aggressive driving oil temp very quickly jumps up 20-30 degree's in just a couple minutes- may be a problem come summer- other than that all good

I do agree that Nissan should have included it with the car. I would have paid an extra $500 for the cooler if they had it as an option without blinking. BTW, Stillen's kit is really looking like a pretty good deal!

Here's the latest data from our oil temp survey thread (here Oil Temp Survey)... thanks to everyone that has taken it so far!

And while a bigger cooler can be built, obviously, this is in our opinion more than enough to handle virtually all driving needs for the 370Z, up to and including track use. It was built to spec to give maximum cooling at the lowest cost possible, utilizing a blend of super quality components like the SETRAB cooler and Goodrich stainless lines, down to the custom brackets, PS cooler relocation hardware, etc. It's nice to see the guys with the STILLEN cooler seeing the benefits after testing and hard use.. and I would anticipate additional feedback from guys soon, as I know a number are embarking on trips to the track soon.. |

Got my Stillen kit installed today ! track day Sunday !
In addition to the kit, I think we will all benefit from some additional time on motor and maybe switching to a more efficient motor oil |

If Nissan manufacturered their own oil coolers, the prices on them would have been astoundingly lower.

230 isn't bad itself, but it is when you consider that temp was while cruising. Once you step the RPM's up the oil temp is going to go up with it. |

Crash,
It would be nice if it were that simple. But to be honest I don't see how you could price a Setrab cooler at 75% off the already discounted $225. That would indicated a cost of around $56. You couldn't buy the raw materials and stamp the plates for that amount of money. For grins, call a BMW parts department and price a cooler for a 335i. It will be a rude awakening. Or just go online and add up the parts. Don't forget to add in a tube of Neosporin. If you have never put together AN fittings and SS hose your fingers are going to hate you.

Have had the car for two days now, not pushing it (have shifted at 5k twice only from 2-3), and my temps have not passed 220 yet, thankfully. I am still under 200 miles so it will be a few weeks before I get her opened up, but in Houston it has been getting humid and warmer lately so if I start seeing this creep up during the break in period with me shifting <4k, I will be putting in my call.

In a somewhat related incident from my past, I once had a transmission cooler on a TH400 auto tranny on an 81 Firebird that was run up to the front with rubber hoses like that. A few thousand miles after install, when I was pretty confident it was holding up well, I was on a long highway cruise in the middle of summer. Running down a highway between towns with no exit or service station in sight, one of the hoses blew out. I heard it and immediately shut the car down onto the shoulder and turned it off, but it wasn't fast enough to save anything. 2 Hours on the roadside waiting for a tow truck, a *long* tow back to the nearest large town, and refilled the fluid, but the tranny was dead. Had to do a complete rebuild on it. Moral of the story: don't skimp out on hoses and connections for critical fluids. |
