I m glad to hear that there are more local Atlanta guys popping up on these forums with their 370z's. As far as the warranty on the cooler, it is to my understanding that it is guarenteed against product defects. To what point that the warranty is carried beyond that I am unsure, I will check with my Nissan Motorsports today for a clearification. As far as the OE Nissan Warranty, since it is a product offered by Nissan it should not affect your car's warranty in any way. As far as the installation, we have done quite a few of these Motorsports Coolers already. I m not sure how familiar you are with our shop, but I invite you to come out and check us out. Here is the link to our shop: Z1Motorsports.com - Nissan 300zx, 350Z, 370Z, Infiniti G35, and G37 Parts and Performance Experts. For an exact rate on the install, give John a call in the service department. You can reach him at 770 838 7777 ext 311. For that matter, we are having our annual Z/G and now GT-R car show at our shop coming up in September. It will be a 3 day event consisting of a road course event, 1/4 mile drag race day and a full day consisting of a car show/dyno competition. You should try to come out and check out our shop and all the other cars that attending..it should give you alot of inspiration and ideas for your own car! The website for the event is: Z Nationals Event Website Give me a call at the shop if you ve got any questions! |

Since there has been a comparison, this should also be included:

Wait I'm getting confused here...
Why would you pay 800 bucks for an oil cooler when you can build one for yourself for under 350. Crazy people!

I think the answer falls into the category of convience. Unless you have a decent amount of technical knowledge and mechanical ability. Building a kit my prove to be difficult for some. It is obviously doable, but it depends on you level of skill.

why can't you buy the cooler and parts yourself and put it together at a cheaper price...the oil cooler itself from Setrab is only $328 bracket is 40...so the fittings and hoses and oil filter adapter are over 330?

Problem Im having with the Nissan oil cooler is the sandwich adapter isn't thermostatically controlled and Z1 nor I have been able to find an adapter to make it so. Im able to put an lines together. Thats easy so adapting lines to transition isn't a problem if anyone has an input ???? I doubt stillen would sell me just thier adapter.

BAT is a great company. I used to use them for mods when I raced a Ford Fiesta back in the day....don't laugh, I used to smoke the GTI's There are also thermostats that don't reside in the sandwich plate. You can mount one inline, see here: http://www.batinc.net/thermos.htmp Pricing here: http://97.74.103.94/files/thermos$.p...t1=Get+Pricing

Actually an outboard thermostat is fine, but considering their cost, including more AN fittings and lines, it's probably cheaper to just replace your non-thermostatic plate with a thermo one. Less complexity and potential failure points as well. My Mocal plate was $88

Good evening, I am ready to buy the NISMO, but I am rather unsured about the over heating issue being discussed in many forums. Since I am not a mechanic, thus unable to perform the proper oil cooler installation myself. Do you know of someone who is credible to be able to perform the installation correctly in Northern VA area (prefer not to drive down to GA, although it would be a fun ride for sure).
