There is no "stock one" on the 2009-2011 models. The oil just circulates in the engine, and the coolant circulates in other passageways in the engine, and the heat transfers through the engine block. My money's still on a very minimalistic oil:water cooler interface, at the oil filter.

2 weeks on a boat for shipping
Customs is a week (was for mine)
Prep in the states, either LA or Tenn
Transit time
Delivery to dealership

The major wait period is the building as even though your order is placed it might be a few weeks before they even start your cars production, especially if the dealership just placed its order. Transit times vary because they wait for full loads before shipping, be on rail, 18 wheeler, etc.
Thanks for the insight on the regular order.

The thing is, if you check out one of my original threads, this car basically got put on production hold this year due to the tsunami. Since the Z and the GTR are Nissan's lowest priority, they got shoved to the back burner. No dealer I know of in all of Southwest Ohio has gotten an actual Nissan car allocation since way back in March / April. No direct special orders (which not all dealers know about) were taken from Nissan in June or July while they were playing catch up from the shut down and the cars they lost. After calling Nissan distribution every week all summer, my dealer was finally able to special order my car in late August, when Nissan knew when 2012 production would start in September.

So any other time I'd say you were absolutely correct. But the tsunami changed the normal way of things and it's only just now coming back around.

If 2012's are delivering now, and they only started production in September, that's less than 2-3 months, that's 1 to 1-1/2 months, tops.

I just like investigating. I'd also like to know if my car will be coming sooner due to some things going on in my life right now. This may sound crazy but sooner isn't going to make thing easier scheduling wise.

Thanks again --- Bonzo

If Jomer beats the other dealer to the punch, he shall receive multiple reps though..

Pics of OEM Nissan water-to-oil coolers from the Nissan Armada and the Nissan Murano. We are virtually guaranteed to get something like this, but I am still waiting on the official 2012 370Z oil cooler pics from the dealer.

I checked on that... Nissan is already saying no retrofit on the previous Z. They said they changed the plumbing on the Z so they won't retrofit the part. As for adding your own they didn't mention.

I'm getting the GTM oil cooler anyway but for those that were hoping for a nissan retrofit? Forget about. I think they are afraid that if they retrofit? They will have to warranty the product and don't want to. I see nissan going the toyota route with hybrids and the Z being electric and the END OF NISMO. The poser car of tomorrow. Lol. Anyway, get your Z's while they still have a name.
