Small problem on the install. The oil cooler lines need to be routed on the outside of the Intake tube as it goes to the filter. So note that for your own installs. Don't tighten up the lines till you install the lower intake tube. Take the Cooler lines off the plate, install the lower intake tube, route the lines, then tighten them up. The lines are long enough, but just. I should be all zipped up soon.

good info!

Worked out the lines were long enough. Luck I guess. Z1 will have to add this to their instructions for the oil cooler. The intake is made by Nissan so I don't expect them to change their instructions.

You do know what an expert is don't you? It's a has been drip, under pressure...............

Really, your not the only one who own's and installed one.

I suppose it's easier to completely disassemble something to understand it for individuals like yourself. Some of use did both the oil cooler and the intake without removing the front end, it's not a big deal. Folks like me, have been at it allot longer then folks like you for a reason! We don't make things more complicated then necessary.

Sounds better and the engine breaths better too. Too much traffic on i66 rush hour back to DC to open it up much. Stop and go all the way in. I'll run it hard tomorrow.Got a wiper fluid link someplace but I'll take care of that myself or take it back to P tuning for a quick look and tighten something down. No big deal.
