oil cooler trade off,is this a good deal??

havasuwiley · 08-18-2009, 04:44 PM

when i purchased my 370 part of the deal was dealer installing nismo oil cooler,well after 2 weeks oil cooler is on backorder,i've been driving the car in 110' + temps here in lhc az.with no oil temp problems ,so i call my salesman and ask them to put on a stillen gen 3 intake.they will do it as cost/labor between the two is similar, no charge to me.talk about coustomer service,so far liking my dealership.

Umm - If you drive your car HARD - you will see temps spike - otherwise there is no real issue. LOL sometimes I think the biggest mistake nissan made w/ the car was putting an OIL temp guage in it hahaa

Lol... maybe they should have a 10 question test before installing it in the vehicle?

QUESTIONS

1) ARE U BUYING THIS CAR TO LOOK COOL OR ARE U AN ENTHUSIAST?

2) HAVE U EVER OWNED A JAPANESE SPORTS CAR THAT NEEDS EXTRA ATTENTION
EX; Z, RX-7, ,SUPRA, MR 2, 3000GT, EVO, WRX ETC.

3) HAVE YOU MODIFIED CARS BEYOND BOLT ONS?

4) IS WARRANTY REASON 1,2 OR 3 FOR BUYING A SPORTS CAR?

5) DO U THINK " THE RICER CULTURE IS WORTHLESS AND HAS NO INPUT IN NISSAN DESIGN AND R&D?

6) DO YOU OWN MORE THAN 2 SPORTS CARS WORTH OVER 40K UNDER 3 YEARS OLD WHILE STILL OWNING AT LEAST 2 MORE REGULAR CARS UNDER 2 YRS OLD?

7) DO U FEEL THE MORE YOU HAVE THE BETTER PERSON YOU ARE?

8) DO YOU CARE ABOUT HAVING A BETTER CAR THAN YOUR NEIGHBOR?

9) WILL U TRADE IN YOUR Z IN ONE YEAR IF BMW OR COMPETING COMPANY BUILDS CAR TO OUT PERFORM Z?

10) DID YOU THINK ASIAN CARS WERE GARBAGE UNTIL AMERICAN COMPANIES WENT BANKRUPT AND LOW QUALITY LOW TECH CARS FOR HIGH PRICES WERE EXPOSED.
AND NOW BELIEVE ITS OK TO OWN A JAPANESE CAR TILL AMERICAN CARS MAKE A COMEBACK?

IF U FIT INTO ANY OF THESE CATEGORIES AND ANSWERED THREE OR MORE QUESTIONS POSITIVELY... YOU ARE A WANNABE. OR A POSER OR JUST BUY CARS JUST TO SAY I OWNED AND/OR MODDED IT 1ST.
DEPENDING ON THE SCENARIO. WE WILL ELIMINATE EXTRA GAUGES OR PUT YOU IN A CAMARO AT ONE OF OUR CORRESPONDING DEALERS.... LMAO

Seriously, WTF is this?

I am tired of seeing posts like this all over the forum. IT DOESN'T make any sense !!! It has NOTHING to do with the original post!!! I have warned you, you didn't listen. I gave you a little time off, that didn't do anything for you. Well, from now on, every post you will make will go to moderation queue and one of the mods (or me) have to approve it before makes it to the forum.

HAAAA haaaaa (think, the Simpsons)

Ok something constructive here..... I'd go for the intake and have fun. You can always have an oil cooler installed later if you find out that you really need it. So if you find that your oil temp consistently runs a little hot and you don't have problems with limp mode then I'd simply change it more often to keep the protection level up. I have no plans to install a cooler unless I really have to. Just my 2c.

I have not had any oil temp problems and weve hit 100+ temps here in Texas. Im may have to take a long trip and monitor before the temps get cooler. May I ask how much were they letting you have it and cost of labor?

Actually, longer the trip - cooler the engine. I took a 3 hour trip in 95 degree weather and needle was stuck at 220 the whole way. As long as you have air coming in (i.e. highway), it'll cool the temp down. Also, if you have the A/C on, temp goes even lower.

Now, OP, do you remember how much they initially charged you for oil cooler install and labor? If I recall correctly, oil cooler is about $780 + 4 hours of labor where intake is +/- $450 + 2 hours of labor(?). I am just curious.

very good point here, the intakes are much cheaper, and really not hard to install.

Ouch!

I do have to say that for a forum moderator deally, that's out of the ordinary - most of the time, mods just ban people rather than deal with the headache.

OnCallZ · 08-19-2009, 10:51 AM

I would just wait for the oil cooler, from what I know the intakes are an easier install and you could probably DIY later.
