Now if only the price isn't stratospheric, I'd like to buy both. But judging by the AN fittings and the quality of the mounts/hardware and Specially by the absurdity of pricing on coolers these days....$500+

Slidefox 12-30-2008 07:59 PM

Good products!!!

Mr. BigHam 12-31-2008 01:22 AM

Hey if Mines had heating problems with their Z I am sure these parts will sell very nicely..

RCZ 12-31-2008 01:15 PM

not at ridiculous prices considering you can get non brand quality units with AN fittings and stainless lines for half the price... What I dont understand is why shops/tuners/mfgs dont sacrifice a little margin to get the volume in sales.... I mean if you price these in the $300's EVERYONE will buy them...probably even in the $400'a everyone will buy these instead of the competition... maybe I should come out with a kit ;)

I aint paying $800 for the set...they look really nice though, nice product :)

Crash 12-31-2008 03:03 PM

OMG! $800??? Not happening. I'll get the no-name brand. They're still going to have a warranty, so it's not worth it to me. If I spend $400 on one, I have another $400 to buy more parts.

Namir 12-31-2008 04:49 PM

That looks like a very reasonable price for a quality kit.

I will be looking into these.... after I get my Z.

George@GTM 01-03-2009 07:04 PM

I am sorry you do not feel these prices are fair, we feel these are competitive and fair prices considering the price of other kits on the market.

Where is this kit mounting the oil cooler at in the 370 ? Or do you have to fab. up mounting points ?

Slidefox 01-06-2009 04:46 PM

^ I think it is universal mount

George@GTM 01-08-2009 07:43 PM

Correct, it is universal mount, thanks Slidefox!

did anyone buy this yet? I am very close to pulling the trigger...

frost 02-26-2009 09:37 PM

Woof, I like the product, but damn. I wasnt expecting that (price).

$380??? This price is absolute steal! would you put a $200 crap on you $35,000 vehicle or a $400 oil cooler that these guys know and guarantee that'll do it's job. I am always nervous about putting cheap stuff in my car. Spend a little more but spend ONCE - that's my motto. Oil cooler is a must have for the new 370Z if you frequent to track.

I should rephrase that, because it came off wrong as I read it again:
As someone who has never had to purchase an oil cooler, the price seemed high when I saw it for what seems like a simple product. However, it comparison to what seems to be the "going price," it seems reasonable.

RCZ 02-26-2009 10:04 PM

No no, thats actually a decent price. Nice job GTM.

alan93rsa 03-12-2009 08:11 PM

Which pump do you suggest for the transmission cooler? You do need one don't you?

Nice job on the oil cooler kit. Should sell.

George@GTM 04-08-2009 03:35 PM

That Transmission cooler is actually designed for an automatic transmission car, therefore no need for a pump.

We have a rear diff cooler we will be releasing soon, that kit comes with a pump.

alan93rsa 04-08-2009 04:34 PM

George,

Thanks for the clarification.

For those looking at a cooler this is a good price. You can easily drop $400 in parts dropped at your door in a box.

George@GTM 04-09-2009 05:16 PM

Not a problem, sorry for the mis-understanding.

Just so you guys know we have these in stock!

Nice to see the thermostat in the filter adapter. I know the mocal piece i used in my last project set me back a couple hundred $'s alone, and this is more compact!

George@GTM 04-10-2009 03:33 PM

^^^ Yea a lot of companies don't offer this in their oil cooler kits, when in fact it is important to have.

alan93rsa 04-11-2009 04:03 PM

Nothing like 6 or 7 quarts of cold oil hitting the cooler at 7000 rpm's. If you are lucky only a fitting joint will pop. If you don't have a thermostat you definitely need to exercise a little patience while warming up the engine. You should really do that anyway.

JB1 04-21-2009 07:47 PM

George, do you have any pictures of an installed oil cooler?

wstar 04-21-2009 08:08 PM

How does having a cooler installed affect doing oil changes? When you remove the filter do you blow compressed air into some spot on the sandwich plate to force the oil back out of the cooler? And then how does the refill process go? Refill the stock amount, fire up the engine for a minute, then top off again with the cooler filled? I assume the added complication of the thermo plate means the change has to be done hot?

I asked about this in one of the Stillen cooler threads too, haven't seen any answer.

You would change the oil just like a regular oil change. When you change your oil you aren't getting all of the oil out of the engine, just the majority of it - same thing with a cooler.

Has anyone here used this kit (the GTM oil cooler) on the 370Z yet? I understand it's universal, just curious if anyone has experience installing it and what it entailed (which side you had to mount on, did you need to fab a bracket, or just a matter of drilling some holes and using the bracket in the kit, etc?).

nogoodname 06-24-2009 01:33 PM

I agree the price on this kit is nice, just wondering what I might be getting myself into install-wise since it's a universal application.

LiquidZ 06-24-2009 01:58 PM

380 for this kit is dang good.

nogoodname 06-24-2009 02:01 PM

RCZ is about to pull the trigger....see how it fits for him

The trigger he was about to drop on February 26th? :) I think he went with another kit since.

nogoodname 06-24-2009 02:14 PM

opps...my bad....lol

wstar 06-24-2009 02:15 PM

I'm kinda guessing the answer no. I may be becoming the first guinea pig soon, we'll see later in the day.

nogoodname 06-24-2009 02:23 PM

probably will...lol

RCZ got the stillen one

JB1 06-30-2009 04:44 PM

So Wstar, did you end up ordering the GTM Kit? I'm interested in your experience if you do end up buying it. Still waiting for my car, so it will be a while before I will acctually get one, but an oil cooler is on my wish list as I want to do some track days.

shabarivas 06-30-2009 04:56 PM

I am about to get one as well - so all i need is the 380$ unit? Thinking about stopping @ ZCG to get it taken care of one of these days...

No, I didn't end up using this.

blackbird 06-30-2009 07:46 PM

GTM:
1. Can the swivel ends be replaced with 90 degree ends?
2. Will this affect the oil flow?
3. To confirm, the themostatic connection comes with the unit at 380, correct?

ErnieT 08-12-2009 08:41 AM

George,
Did you guys finish the dual oil cooler kit yet and will it be in the way if I install your turbo kit?
TIA,
Ernie
