Flipped the damper. Pics of my install here. GREAT quality kit and excellent customer service from Z1. No issues here.

Nismo + Z1 Motorsports Oil Cooler = Success!

Did you have that air guide custom made? Looks pretty pimp.

DJ_Tantoy · 08-19-2011, 09:03 AM

I have the nismo cooler on my.... Nismo lol. Seemed appropriate and omg does it work, 34 row with steel braided tube as big around as a damn quarter.... Car used to run 200+ in guam normal stop and go city driving. Now its back in ohio and it actually runs a little cold. Highway temls at 70mph on a 90 degree day are about 150, ive beat the ever living hell out of it at the track and it barely touches 200 now. So i need, and recomend a plate. Oh, and it whines if that bothers u. Everyone bitches about the price but i can say from experience now that its that expensive for a reason.

chii370 · 08-21-2011, 11:03 PM

Speaking of which, hate to double post but im not starting a thread for a related question. Where can i buy a thermal plate for the nismo motorsports kit? Anyone know? Will another companies fit it?

if you get the line sheaths from z1, and then place like rubber between where the lines are in contact with parts of the frame it shoudl whine less. Sinc emy lines were re routed i havnt noticed the whine at all

The TRUE NISMO 370Z Oil cooler is super expensive. I am assuming that he is referring to the Nissan Motorsports Kit. The TRUE Nismo oil cooler locates the oil cooler core in the driver side fender well and comes complete with ducts, a vented fender liner and all brackets, etc.

If I recall correctly, that kit was something like $1,200.00 USD.

The Nissan Motorsports Kit can be purchased from a few different vendors here on the370.com site. We offer it as an alternative to our Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37 Oil Cooler:

ok, but where can i buy or at least see the TRUE 370Z NISMO OIL COOLER??? ive seen the ducting on the true 350 nismo cooler.

do you have pictures?

chii370 · 08-23-2011, 12:43 AM

Jusy to clarify, thats the ONLY difference between the two kits. They both use the same 34 row setrab core, both located in the same spot, both use the same 1/2 inch braided steel tubing. And the motorsports version cost me 750. Its a part order number that was 21300-SS370. Just ask nissan.

If u ask them about the part they will play dumb because there system wont find it, but give em the number and it pops right up. Warning, this cooler is HUGE .... Easily half the size of the radiator, so u will need a thermal sandwich plate. Mine actually runs too cool at 150 max normal driving and its mid summer.

Dustin@Z1 · 08-23-2011, 11:37 AM

Let me dig around this evening on my desktop...I visited the Omori Factory @ NISMO HQ in Japan last year and saw one of the Z Challenge 370Z's prepared by NISMO sitting in the garage. They had equipped the car with the prototype NISMO 370Z Diff Cooler and NISMO 370Z Oil Cooler. The Front fascia was on, but I think I got a few decent pictures of the fender liner and ducting.

Here is a link to the Omori Factory website covering the cooling system upgrades for the 350Z/370Z:
NISMO/Omori Factory Website

Based on the YEN conversion to USD, that oil cooler kit is actually MUCH MORE expensive than I thought previously. 210,000 YEN ~ $2,200 USD (rough calculation)

chii370 · 08-23-2011, 12:24 PM

Wow, thats the first i had seen one. I was talking to someone at nissan motorsports when i bought mine and he was quite adament on tge fact that they were identical besides the plastic fender liner thing...... I can plainly see from this picture that hes an idiot and has no idea wtf he was talking about. The entire kit is different, thats a different core "fittings are different" and it seems to come WITH a thermastatic sandwich plate included..... But 2k is too much, even with the piece of plastic and the plate. Go for the motorsports version and get a z1 plate and its pretty much more then what you need.
