Ladies and gentleman, below I give you... the 2012 Nissan 370Z OEM water-to-oil cooler. Sorry for the dark picture, but this is from a dealer who was nice enough to put a 2012 Z on the lift and snap the pic.

2012 Nissan Z Oil Cooler part #21300-SS370

also of interest...

2012 Nissan Z Chassis Brake Cooling Kit part #E4420-1EA00

Get any pics of the ducting?

kenchan · 10-18-2011, 03:53 PM

cool. that's wat i was kinda expecting.

yah, pict of the ducts would be cool. there was a member here that routed from the fang faux vent and ended up with higher temps than without.

Thanks for the pic. This is what I was expecting too.

The dealer didnt get ducting pictures unfortunately, wish he had.

You sure about the ducting part #? It comes back as a Nismo 370z strut brace kit.

'10Anamoly · 10-18-2011, 04:04 PM

Oh, maybe he misunderstood me.. apologies on that

memorylasts · 10-18-2011, 04:12 PM

Very interesting.... who is going to be the first to try it out?

How efficient is a water to oil cooler vs using air?

Now all we need is somebody with a 2012 to go flog theirs and report on oil temp.

Overall, superior. Faster warm up to ideal operating temp, easier to maintain ideal temps. Water does a much better job than air of absorbing heat.

Someone from Nissan actually called me regarding my query on this for those of us with 2009-2011 models... will report back after I return the call.

If water cooled is better then why hasn't any aftermarket companies design one that is water cooled for our cars? That was one of the things that had me thinking.

The same reason that some cars were once air cooled -- fewer parts required, and therefore less cost.

But most of us (outside of fans old Porsches) prefer water cooled motors...

It's more of a debate with intercoolers for FI applications because cooler really is always better, and in some situations, air-to-air coolers will work as well or better as water-to-air.

For oil, cooler is not always better. Geting up to operating temp quickly and being able to stay there with little fluctuation is ideal.

Because it probably requires modding the radiator

It's inferior in terms of cooling, superior in consitency.

The two smaller temperature deltas make cooling through the rad less efficient.
