Nissan Motorsports Oil Coolers
Hey guys,
I wanted to give you a heads up about another oil cooler option that has recently become available. It's an oil cooler kit created by Nissan Motorsports and can be ordered through any Nissan dealer; the parts advisor might not be aware of the part, but he/she should be able to find it with the part number. Part Number: 21300-SS370 MSRP: $780 Here is a link to a quick blurb that Edmunds wrote on it with a picture of the components. I don't have any other pics, but I've seen the kit in person and the components are top notch. 2009 Nissan 370Z Touring: Oil Cooler Install and First Service | Long-Term Road Tests Blog on Edmunds' Inside Line Thanks! |
So it's basically the Nissan version of the Stillen kit, with a slightly larger core, for $360 more? No thanks, Nissan :)

I don't know if they will be making an exception in this case or if they will force us to wait for Nismo version (which will probably be identical). |
they should be calling US to have us bring in our cars to have these put on!

My understanding is that the oil cooler kit is a Nissan Motorsports Competition Part, which is different than a Genuine Nissan Accessory (comes with a warranty).
The Stillen kit is definitely a nice and less expensive solution, but the core is a lot smaller. In terms of capacity the Nissan Motorsports kit is a lot closer to the Central 20 kit from Japan, which is significantly more expensive. I don't know what Stillen's targets were, but based on the core size shown in their pictures, it seems unlikely that it would provide enough cooling for a 20 min track session at a HPDE in hot climates (80+ deg F). Not trying to knock the Stillen kit in any way because it looks like a nice kit at a great price. I'm just glad that there are more more (arguably) affordable solutions than the ones from Japan, which can cost a couple grand! |
I guess we'll know soon enough. If the STILLEN unit doesn't keep me cool for 20 minute sessions on the track, then I guess its off to Setrab for a bigger core. It should be very easy to modify the existing kit to accommodate a larger core.

I hit 250 today just driving, no stop-n-go traffic, no hills, just driving. Not that I can afford to spend that kind of money on a part that should have come with the car, but I suppose the options are thin.

According to this link (Setrab Oil Coolers) yes, this is a 19-row core. |
Thanks semtex!
