2012s on lots....where are the oil coolers?

I think a number of us have them on order, but nobody has theirs in hand yet.

Several people have posted that they have them, and lots of dealers have them in stock...just none near me.

I have mine on order. I know Bonzo says his will arrive November 18th. Bonzo is the first person i know of to receive a delivery date for the 2012's. I ordered mine a week after him, plus my salesman said it would be late November early December for my girl Vanity to be delivered. My VIN should be given to me soon.

I bet it's a dealer add on option, and I also bet the dealers will screw up and not install it on the cars for a while until it gets pointed out to them, a lot. lol

From what i read, it's a factory add on.

I kinda hope it's oil:water like that one post in the locked thread says, although it may be a relatively crappy oil:water unit though (as mentioned in the other thread, perhaps just water running through a filter adapter plate). We already have good aftermarket kits for add-on oil:air. The stock water cooling system seems to have more than enough excess capacity to help out, and it would reduce warm-up times as well.

Yep. I think a cheap o:w would fix the car up where it could handle a couple hot laps, but still be driven in cool climates.

You gotta figure the unit would add less than $30 to nissans cost on the car, too

I looked at the nissan home page and did a build of a 370Z and a Nismo. Under the Standard Features there is NOT an oil cooler listed nor is there an option for one.

So far it appears deliveries to the U.S then take as much as 2 months. Now if this delivery thing is going faster, and production started early September, then it's possible a number of cars are going to start rolling in soon, and I might get mine sooner than scheduled on November 18. But considering my car was built on September 25th, and it's only like #500, we can't know until some more people post their VIN#s and production dates to get a better feel for it. Again, per the other threads I've posted in, I'm trying to figure out how fast they are building these. That would give us a better idea on how many are around. There are certainly not cars falling out of the sky as your original post sort of implies.

I made this thread the other day and so far no one has posted to it. Zero.

Please Post Here When You Get Your 2012
