yea the search function isn't the best here... i'd suggest googling the370z + search words... =P


but i'll give you credit in trying to do your DD before jumping in. lots of people do something and regret it because they forgot to read up on something or another... :(

Yea..im trying to just do a few mods, nothing to serious. First its gonna be the CAI, still debating on the crank pulley, transmission cooler and exhaust.
After that, the exterior haha

I wouldn't worry about the tranny cooler (unless you're doing crazy sht) as much as I would on an oil cooler if yours doesn't have one already. I love mine. I did a 24 row from z1. Best thing I've installed right along with my F.I. exhaust.

I just read that some people said it would extend the transmission life lol
and whats a 24 row?

Just how many rows are on the cooler. The more rows, the more cooling. 19 is the smallest, then 24, and followed by 36. At least through z1. I'm sure you could find other coolers with more or less. They aren't wrong, it will prolong the life of the tranny but I didn't think the tranny had heat problems until you go big power or consistently track the car. All Z's seem to have high engine oil temps. I wouldn't consider cooling the tranny unless I was a track guy. Just my opinion.

You don't need a trans cooler.

You may or may not need an oil cooler.

Search on here for ARC cool fins and try that first. Looks jerry-rigged, but does actually work. It's under the car, is inexpensive and JDM (bonus!)-- if it works and you need to drop oil temps closer to water temps, give it a try.

Anyway, If you aren't hitting 250+ F* in normal driving, and aren't tracking the car, leave it be.

Also, if you are new and learning about mods, dynos, etc, search for my Proven Power dyno thread. Lots, and lots, and lots of detail, dyno graphs, commentary on the effects of various modifications, interpretation of dynamomemter output, etc.

IMHO, a good read. I'm long winded, so bring a few beers to keep you focused :tup:

hahaha even when i push the car fast the highest on oil temp its gone was 200

Sheesh I sit in daily bumper to bumper traffic in 75 degree weather here in Florida and I reach temps of 210-230 unless I turn the a/c on to get the fans pulling air through. It's totally the traffics fault, and I probably didn't HAVE to install it but I'm much more comfortable when I want to get up and going quick in hot weather knowing I'll be cool all day long. You just wait till summer Joker. You'll see what I'm talkin about lol

Well, I'll most likely just go with the oiled filters for now. Might switch to fry filters later.

The intake kit on my last car came with a "Drycharge" wrapper to go around the filter to protect against water. Does the Stillen kit come with filter covers, or are they not needed?
