Sacrifice front body damper for a track worthy oil cooler?

ZillaZ · 03-08-2014, 02:21 AM

Hi guys. I have an '09 NISMO and want to install a track worthy oil cooler. I have done a lot of reading on the forum and from what I can tell I would have to sacrifice the front damper to accommodate an oil cooler that would withstand the stress of track days. Any suggestions? Thanks, Zilla.

Don't need to sacrifice the damper, just flip it around. I have a 34 row and still have the front damper on.

I got the Z1 34 row oil cooler. All I did was to flip the damper around so that the damper end is on the right side, and added a washer under the bracket for it.
