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

still waiting to hear back from Z1. hopefully they can give us actual heat dissipation numbers for the rad...nissan won't release them. it will be pretty easy to see where the tipping point is once we know what it can push, with just a ballpark on the o:w: cooler transfer.

Of course, if it becomes an issue, radiator replacements are easy, and air coolers are still available as a proven solution.

Rather than some "book number", I think if someone were to take the car to Spring Mountain in NV and flog the piss out of it on a 100* day and tell us how it went, that would be worth a lot more.

too many variables there. though that data would be useful for understanding how fast it heated up.
