Quality components are crucial on something like a oil cooler kit. Failure = possible engine failure..
Which is why we use top quality components in our kits, SETRAB cores, Goodridge lines built to our specs, etc. And never had an issue. The Nissan Motorsports Oil Cooler is not a warranty-covered item, it's clearly stated in all of its literature. We have a great relationship with Nissan and Infiniti dealers, and quite a few of them have installed our oil coolers on cars as well. |

Thanks for the info, saves me time on research, good to hear Sam at GTM has fixed the issue. Modshack route appears to be the route to save $$, but I am not the DYI guy. Now if Modshack was to to preassemble the kit and sell me one (two the be exact). I would even be willing to pay extra for the time to piece it together and assemble. That is when I have the $$ to spring for the cooler. |

They said yes. I will use a credit card to pay with, and if I do not get it in writing after it is installed I will simply contest the payment and use their voice mail recording as proof. In writing or it's free.

Last month I had the $1300 setrab oil cooler set up installed by Cherry Hill Nissan of NJ. I took my Z to the track for the first time this past October (before the oil cooler). Air temperature was in the low 70s then, and the oil temp went about 260 for my last two 20 minute runs at NJ Motorsports Park - Lightning course. No limp mode, thank goodness, and was able to drive home fine. It was nerve racking thinking the car was going to shut down at any moment. There was no way the car would make it back to the track without an oil cooler.
I took it to the track recently for 2 days with air temperature in the mid 80s. This time on the Thunderbolt at NJ Motorsports Park. Oil temp highs were around 200, maybe 210. Normal and spirited driving keeps it at 180. Long story short, this was the best first mod for me to do. I am pleased with it so far. The only thing remotely negative is that the outside air temp reads incorrectly high. Perhaps that thermometer is obstructed by the cooler. It isn't a big deal to me though. |

Have a few quick questions for you, as I will be ordering, tomorrow or the following day, your oil cooler kit. I'll be having my Nissan dealer do the install. Race Version - 25 Row Core. 1. What is the book time on the install? 2. What is your warranty on this kit? 3. With the parts included in this kit, would it be possible to install it on the driver’s side instead of the passenger’s side? 4. Would it be possible to get updated instruction for the Race Version - 25 Row Core , oil cooler , install on your web site? Thanks Josh , Alex

Hi Alex, thanks for the questions!
1. I'd have to check with my service manager on our quoted install time. I want to say 2 hours, but I'd have to verify. 2. We base the warranty off of the individual parts, I'd have to double check the SETRAB warranty on the core, as well as the Goodridge lines, but I can get that tomorrow (Sunday night) 3. It is absolutely possible to install it on the drivers side, we do it on the passenger in the instructions to accommodate all of the possible coolers, oil, trans and our power steering cooler. 4. Updated instructions? Not sure I understand.. unless it's missing, I'll look into that. Josh |

I’m kinder hoping it's 2hrs, from my dealership. I recently ordered your wonderful G3 intakes from Max @ Stillen, I was lucky enough to get an early install date for the 18th at the dealership. It occurred to me that if I could get the oil cooler install at the same time, I could possibly save a little on the install since the front fascia would be off for the G3 intake installation . I will be calling Max this morning , see if he can get me the Race Version - 25 Row Core kit, to me in Eastern PA before the 18th ? Thanks for your quick response. Alex

What is the install time on the oil cooler.
I just spoke with the dealership which is now installing my new short block with a Nissan oil cooler Part Number: 21300-SS370. What is the install time on the oil cooler? The dealership just said that it is 8 hours and the fenders need to come off. Remember they already have the whole engine torn apart anyway. This seems so excessive. I was quoted 4 hours before the short block had to be replaced.
