Great info, this is exactly the answer I was looking for!

You'll need to add SIX quarts. I have an oil cooler from Z1 and when my Nissan dealer changed the oil with 5 quarts I was running a bit warm. Checked the oil, added one quart, all is well. Recently drove when the outside temperature gauge in the car said 109 degrees. Oil never went above 220 whether stop and go or traveling at 70+.

Obviously you don't track your car very much. The price for the Nismo kit is totally justified. I bought mine 3 years ago - first ever design as I understand it, for the NISMO cooler, totally - best $$$$$$ I ever spent. ;-)

Cheers

Just added a Greddy turbo oil pan (no I don't have a turbo/supercharger setup) to my Nismo and it is wonderful - more oil holding on major G turns and now starvation issues should go away. Especially since I will be at COTA next month again. Yahoo!!!!!! Now the system takes Up 7 1/2 quarts (Nismo stock 36 row cooler) for an oil change. Ching-ching!!!!!!!! $$$$$$$$$$

The '09 NISMO does not have a "stock" oil cooler....and it is definitly not a 36 row. Your information is off or you are confused somewhat. There is an aftermarket NISSAN MOTORSPORTS Oil Cooler. But even that is not a 36 row...it is a 34 row.

I just bought the Stillen 19 row for my supercharged Z. Its -21c here in Indiana and I was going to wait untill spring/summer. But I noticed a noticable increase in oil temp when going less than 10 mph around my neighborhood for a period of time. It should be here in time for valentines day! But do you think i should of opted for the 25 row? I take it to the 1/8 drag strip every now and then, but am kinda worried now that the 19 row will be useless for that hard racing.

Apparently you haven't read the entire thread.

While he misquoted the row size, the comment referred to the Nissan oil cooler he had installed.

Dude, I bought a Nismo 34 row cooler 2 weeks after buying my car in 09. I got it directly from Nismo in Japan - through my dealer. They made it special - the first order they ever had for one. I was trying to keep my warranty in tact for the car.
