which brand of oil cooler?

Dustin@Z1 · 08-23-2011, 10:37 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:

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)

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.

Who would of thunk it? I'll be checking mine from time to time now. And it's not a Z1 though to clarify. Glad it was smooth sailing for you regardless of the oil all over your motor.

The core they use is a Setrab 9 series 13 row. Setrab is the same company that us (Z1), Nissan Motorsports and GTM use in our kits and is widely known and used in both OEM and Racing applications.

There are a few disadvantages to that design if you plan on going Forced Induction in the future.

Flipping the dampner will not affect the performance on the Z in any way. The ONLY downside to doing this, aside from the cost of your time, is the fact that the NISMO/AUTECH label will be upside down. If you are worried about flipping the NISMO dampner, I hope you are aware that the AAM Oil Cooler kit requires you to drill into your factory front aluminum crash bar.

Oh, I was just looking for alternatives. I have had an oil cooler that I installed myself and also needed to flip the damper. I took it off because I am still thinking about selling my car but still not fully committed in doing so. I did not know if there were per-existing holes in the crash bar though so I assumed that it was going to be drilled on.

Wow...this thread is exactly why I will be adding an oil pressure gauge when I add my Z1 oil cooler...
