Does anyone know if this is 100% factual for the 2010's?
I read the thread and saw the pics, yet, I've not seen any solid evidence to solidify the hype. I'm hoping there's an oil cooler standard though |

Don't hold your breath. The changes for 2010 on the 370 have already been announced and it does not include a cooler. The Nismo may be different....who knows. Regardless, it's a problem easily fixed for <$300 |

vs my 2009:
The '09 test car had one, but my car didn't come with one. I'm guessing it'll be the same for '10.

I called Nissan to inquire as to why they're equipping test cars with oil coolers, but not dealer cars. In addition I also noted the higher oil temps the VQ37 exhibits and how over time this can negatively impact the lifespan of the motor.
My point was simple, if I'm going to spend $40k+ for a car; I don't want to have to worry about the life of the motor being shortened due to oil consumption or excessively high oil temps, especially for an N/A car. I'm patiently waiting for a "call back," hope I get one- |

What's the number? I'll call as well to make sure they realize this is an actual concern.
Was it this one? Nissan Consumer Affairs P.O. Box 685003 Franklin TN 37068-5003 (800) NISSAN-1 (or 800-647-7261) 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Eastern / Central Time / Pacific Time Monday through Friday

Quote: Originally Posted by Nissan USA The 370Z has an engine protection system that reduces peak engine speeds when the oil temperature exceeds recommended levels in order to protect against possible engine damage. Aggressive driving of the 370Z on a race track at sustained high engine speeds can cause increases in oil temperature and may activate this engine protection system. To avoid activation of this engine protection system and these reduced peak engine speeds, Nissan recommends an oil cooler be fitted to the 370Z before driving it on a race track. A Nissan Motorsports accessory oil cooler kit is available for customer purchase through authorized Nissan dealerships for race track use. The part number is 21300-SS370. An oil cooler is not necessary for normal operation of the vehicle on public roads. The addition of an oil cooler would have raised the price of the car and potentially moved it out of the reach of some customers. Value has been a core principle of the Z car since the original 240Z and we choose to uphold this core principle by not adding additional costs that are unnecessary for normal use. For those individuals who choose to drive their vehicle on a race track, the oil cooler is available as an aftersales item. The oil cooler is a Nissan Motorsports item and as such is sold without warranty, express or implied, unless expressly prohibited by law in which case the warranty provided is the minimum required by law. The installation of the Nissan Motorsports oil cooler does not, by itself, “void” the vehicle warranty. However any damage caused by the installation or use of this part is expressly excluded under the terms of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited warranty. Last edited by Modshack; 10-13-2009 at 01:53 PM. |

There was one minor issue with mine as both oil lines were 48" long. Didn't realize till later one is suppose to be longer than the other. No big deal but it would have been a tad neater install. |

How much did it cost you again to make one? Nissan, must really pay through the nose for parts and have an expansive oil cooler R&D program as it sure sounds expensive and high tech. Boy is that creative or what? How about a little more spent on zing and a tiny bit less on bling? Just a little bit. How many NISMO badges does it have again? |
