New Nismo owner

[smknvtec]

Hi everyone I am Matt. I just bought a 2010 Nismo edition Z Magnetic Black with Navigation. Love the car so far. I have 300,000 plus miles on Hondas including two Integras [one 97 GSR I had for 16 years that I just sold and had 211,000 miles] a turbocharged 2000 NSX-T that I still have and have miles on two Legends my folks owned years ago. Oh I also drove some miles on my sisters Accord and Prelude. Needless to say I love Hondas however, I am looking forward to my first Nissan. Its not exactly my first because I did buy my mom an I35 in 2004 and that awesome car has 185,000 on it now and still going strong. I am hoping my 2010 NISMO edition will give me many reliable years of trouble free driving just like all the Hondas I experienced.

Anyway, I am contemplating an oil cooler for the Z. I am reading some stuff on here about the Z1 Motorsports cooler and the Stillen cooler. I will be auto crossing the car and some small track use i.e. 1 mile long tracks or so. I live in Oklahoma and it gets hot here. Well into the hundreds in summer and cold in winter. It commonly gets to the 30's and 20's here. So, I think I need the thermostatic plate as not to over cool it if there is such a thing. Any opinions on which is the best cooler and how many rows it should be etc would be appreciated.

I also have plans to replace the rotors with Stoptech Crossdrilleds, Stainless lines, Hawk HPS Pads and Motul 600 fluid. Any advice or thoughts would be great.

Thanks again, take care and see you around the board.
