Oil Temp

If you check out Stillen, also check out Z1 and read the reviews--both have a lot of favorable reviews. Both offer the Setrab cooler in several sizes offered along with all the mounting hardware.

If you aren't tracking and want to get one to keep temps down just to keep the engine temp under control, you could just get a basic 19 row cooler and be fine. I'd probably get the thermostatic sensor and call it a day. A 34 row kit would probably be overkill for you. When mine is uncovered, even with the thermostatic sensor, at 40F out my oil temp sits at ~160F when driving on the freeway. (Note that I'm at altitude.)

Isn't the nismo kit a 34 row Setrab cooler with brackets and lines?

But I wouldn't worry about an oil cooler if I weren't tracking the car though unless you plan to keep it 100k+ miles. If you sell it in 5 years like many of us, you won't see any return on your investment.
