Default Pipe and Heat Sink Near Radiator Intake
If you get down on the ground and look into the front intake there is a pipe with metal heat sinks on it in front of the radiator on the passenger side.

Was curious to what it is. Is it part of the radiator, an oil cooler maybe?

I also noticed you can see the front damper with a Nismo sticker on it which I thought was cool.

Yes I am aware there is Nismo stuff all over the car. I just noticed you could see the front damper today and thought it looked cool.

So far I've learned that this car comes with power steering and oil coolers, neither of which is listed on any of Nissan's information on the car. You'd think they would advertise this stuff.

Just about every car/truck comes with a power steering cooler. The oil cooler you are referring to is nothing to advertise about. Yes it helps, but no where near as efficient as an aftermarket air/cooled oil cooler.

Wow. I just saw that! But then again, I never look out the back window. Now if someone could just explain to me what these things ate on the outside of both doors. They're both in my way when I look out either side. Right in my field of vision and some some kind of reflective material on them.
