Nah I'm big on canyon runs and am planning to track hence the 34 row but I was thrown off earlier in the thread when people mentioned that the water cooler would be better than air cooled. Looking back I somewhat misunderstood. Still happy with my decision on the GTM 34 row

i can almost see someone putting co2/nawz sprayers onto their oil coolers.

Just thinking about this...what is the average coolant temp? Isn't using hot coolant to cool hot oil somewhat less efficient than using much cooler air, despite coolants much larger heat capacity? Based on that I am thinking that these can't outperform an aftermarket radiator style cooler, but still a nice additional feature for sure.

This has been discussed ad nauseam. Jordo and myself both have posts detailing the pros and cons of different cooling methods.

I suspect this cooler will be more than sufficient for most use, even for light track duty....but we will see.

Why of course Mr. Panda sir.

That seems like a lot of tubing for an oil cooler.

does anybody know how many hours in labor a Nissan dealership would charge to put on of these on?

Nissan took 5hrs to get my 34row Nissan Motorsports Cooler on.

^right? It isn't that hard to install it. I didn't have the time. I later added the Sandiwch Plate adapter and hoses from z1. Also added a plate over the cooler with holes drilled in it to help regulate the oil temp being that it is winter and the oil was runnin in the 150's. Im happy with the kit. IF people are looking at trying to route the oil cooler through the radiator they will end up burning coolant. My 2 cents
