nismo factory oil cooler

Tedmeister

I'm sure this has been addressed in other threads, but I can't seem to find answer to this question. I have a 16 nismo and want to track it. Is there a factory oil cooler installed already and is it big enough to handle Florida summer temps?

CCastro

Better off getting a setrab oil cooler or something. As far as I know the oil cooler is built into the oil filter sandwich plate or something. Coolant lines run into the sandwich plate to transfer heat from the oil.

JARblue

Yes and no, respectively. Get a real oil cooler (not Mishitmoto).

All 370z's '12+ have the tiny coolant to oil cooler. This will NOT be enough for hard track driving. Check out either Z1 Motorsports or Fast Intentions for a quality air to oil cooler kit. Being that you're in Florida I'd go with the 34 row.

I think the FI is the way to go. There also seem to be good step by step instructions on this site. Might as well get the 34 row. I've had three track days already, but it was cold on all three days, forty's to start the day and 60's for the high. Oil temps approached 260, hope that wasn't too high. Would like to go in April and temps will hit high 80's I'm sure. Thinking about Hotchkiss front sway bar as well. That seems to be an economical upgrade.

Wow, you better get on that then!

LOL, Yeap I pegged mine at 260 last year every time I hit the Dragon at Zdayz. I use Fast Intentions. The #1 reason is because of the Teflon inserted lines with crimped ends. They also send everything you need to remove the factory oil stabilizer. That has to go. Don't leave it on.

Hmmmmm....OK maybe I need to take a look at the FI. Where in Florida are you? Who did your install?

I am in the Savannah, Ga. area. I did my own install in my totaled Nismo. I need to get a few pieces before I re-install it on my current Nismo. I have been dragging my feet due to neck surgery from said wreck. It is taking forever to heal.

Yikes...sorry to hear but glad your alive!

Oh yeah, it was a close one. I could have meet my end that day. Either oil cooler will be good. I just like the FI kit.

Tedmeister

Did you wreck on the track? It happens more often than I would have thought. There were 2-3 wrecks each of the days I was at Sebring.

Noop, I was driving home from work on a Friday afternoon and got hit in the rear by a taxi cab. By the way, taxi cabs have the crappiest insurance ever.
