2013 370z Red
 

Been lurking around the forums for a while reading about the car. Finally got one for myself.

Congrats and welcome! :tiphat:

Congrats and welcome!

So sweet bro!! Enjoy!!

Thanks, guys, for the welcome. One thing that has me worried though reading through some threads about the engine oil temp. I'm in SoCal and getting at least 220 on the gauge. Is it smart to get an aftermarket cooler?

Welcome to the 370Z forum

:worship:

-Clifford :welcome: :tup:

Yes - Z1, Fast Intentions, or Stillen. Say "no" to Mishimoto.

Congrats and welcome!!!

Thanks, guys/gals. I won't be tracking the car really just using as a DD. I was looking at the FI 34 row but do I really need all that or would the 25 row Stillen meet my needs?

I just installed a 25 row Stillen and the temps on my gauge are down between 20-25 degrees. Granted, it's only been in the low 90s lately, but I'm sure it will do a good job come August, when it really gets hot. This was the first thing I bought after hitting nearly 260-degrees while driving the Tail of the Dragon. I flogged my car pretty good yesterday, and the gauge never got above 190-degrees.

Yeah, its been hitting high 90s here in SoCal and I got worried about it since it went pass 220 on the gauge doing somewhat spirited driving. Thanks, Memphis, I might just get the Stillen.

With the Stillen 25 row, the instructions state that you need to move the power steering cooler to the driver's side, but we got around that by removing a mounting bolt, rotating the PS cooler, and mounting the oil cooler in front of it. I mention all of that to state that you might want to check where the Z1 and Fast Intention coolers are supposed to be located. They might make for an easier, more straight-forward installation. Just a heads-up! :tup:

Allright, thanks for the heads up. In the meantime though I'll be driving a little bit more slower. :rofl2:

Welcome and I guess it depends on where you're at?

I'm from the Coachella Valley and my oil temp is usually 220 to 240, which isn't that bad for super hot temps here (this week is minimum of 110 degrees). Up side is, I don't drive it to work lol....and when I do use it, it's to and from car meets or local spots.

Yeah, I drive in the valley so it was maybe high 90's today? I didn't really push the car today and only got to 210 on the gauge. Although, I did see an FRS in the freeway trying to mess with me sooooo....got to 230 that time.
