It anything, it has Nismo pads, and you gotta have a really random dealer/tech at corporate who goes, "hmmmmm, oil cooler, VOID THE WARRANTY!" After all the Nismo oil cooler was authorized by corporate not to void the warranty

Well this was back in 09 but yeah the dealer tried to hand me my azz over having an oil cooler on there, and while one of the nissan coolers was under warranty one technically isn't can't remember which one, whether it was the kit in the fender or the kit in front of the radiator. Unless they changed that. Also they did start changing the brake pads and fluid on the press car after a certain accident with a nismo. all dealers are different some are ok with intakes and exhaust some will tell you you voided your warranty by installing a radio. I have sound basis for what i said, but if things have changed well hell i haven't kept up on it. My point is it's funnier than hell nissan has to do what we all complain about for press cars but they tell us there isn't a problem, and it's our fault for driving it in a way it wasn't intended (yet they're marketing, like these press cars, is totally different)

It's like when they said the mechanically problematic overpriced terrible performing puke was going to be the replacement for the 240sx

also what josh meant is that the press cars were blowing up rear ends so they start putting another cooler on the back for the differential if you get under the back of the car and there is a little pump and oil cooler attached to your rear pumpkin you need to buy a lotto ticket because THAT is an expensive cooler only some press cars got.

34 row, thermo plate, bottom 1/4th blocked off during winter, wanna share my personal experience:

During coldest days of last winter, like around 30 to 40 degrees, I would start the car about 30 min before I leave office (just a large window between me and the car, so it's ok). This yielded a 180 degree oil temp by the time I started driving.

About 3-4 min onto the freeway at about 65 mph, i would watch oil temp fall back to and stay at 160 (which commonly believe to be about 180 while circulating within the engine). Still a bit on the cool side.

On cold start, even with the block off plate, it took noticeably longer for oil to climb pass 140 during winter (if getting on the freeway right away) and I would keep rpm not much more than 2k to avoid oil pressure spikes.

I may just slap some tapes over it next winter, quick and easy to remove, instead of doing another block off plate.

I second the motion your honor! I therefore request the court to dismiss this case!

Your oil temps are WAYYYYYYYYY too low!!!

What are you at when you drive around? And does the needle leave 140/how long does it take to just pick up off it

140? No no, even highway speeds, it sits right between 175 and 190. The HIGHEST I've ever gotten it was right around 200, and that was really pushing it with it being 90 degrees out, and crazy humidity up here.

Well then, your friend with the 40th needs an oil cooler. You should only break 200-220 when driving hard, if he's at 245-260 constantly, his car is pulling timing

I don't think it was constantly, it was just when we had stopped after pushing our cars WIDE OPEN consistently for about 10 mins of twisties and straight aways....but yes, he does need an oil cooler

Evvvvveryone should have one for these cars

Pretty sweet to get surprised with an oil cooler on your car.
