Congratulations! You now own a nice $450. oil cooler for the 350Z. Hope it works as good as it looks.

 

Actually it does cool better than other products on the market. ARC uses patented MicroFin technology which they use a manually operated machine by hand. Their effieciency is #1 and their cores are sourced to top racing teams such as Formula 1, Nismo, Mugen, TRD, etc.

Compare a Koyo radiator which is over 2.5 inches thick that can't even remove as much heat as a 1.5" ARC radiator. If you don't believe me....ask AEM.

 

Great post! Which is why when I save up some more cash, I am going to swap out my koyo for an ARC unit

 

Obviously you don't realize the extent of ARC's "gansterness"....the braided lines alone probably cost that much

 

Where does the filter relocation mount go? I was thinking of doing this on my setup but didn't see any good spots.

 

I am floored, if that is true. Why would anyone pay that?

 

Did you read the first post of this thread?

Rickdogg owns

 

I'm not sure at the point since the instructions are all in Japanese. I will post pics once done though.

 

I have to say Rick, you bought a piece of ****ing ****! Absolutely worthless................does not even compare to the one i have made by APC!!!!

 

hahahahaha

 

Is this the APC one?

 

looks familiar but i cant quite put my finger on it for sure...........Fine piece of equipment dont ya say??

 

Damn rick, is that a filter relocation thing-a-ma-bob?

Looks sick as hell, wayyyyyyyyyyyyy overkill

 

Yup! I can't wait to see where it mounts, but my car is going in to the body shop for some fresh paint next week so it's going to have to wait

 

Well I finally got the unit completely installed this evening and man does it look sick!!! I will post pics asap as I forgot my camera in my friend's purse this past weekend! DOH.

Also as a warning even if you know how to read Japanese the ARC instructions are so horrible that it doesn't really matter. It basically had a diagram which helped a bit, but the instructions basically said..."look at the diagram we provided and figure it out"

 

Where does the cooler mount? For FI people, would it get in the way of the intercooler?

 

The brackets mount in the front lower section of the front radiator support and pushes the oil cooler out to where you see in the first pic I provided of the Endless 350z. I will post more detailed pics in the coming days as I should have my camera back by Friday.

However, just from a quick observation I would say most intercoolers would be too large (especially a Greddy) and one would probably have to custom fabricate brackets and what not to make it work, which would kind of defeat the purpose of paying top dollar for a vehicle specific Oil cooler to only have to turn around and fabricate new stuff for it.

 

so where did the filter relocation end up?

 

It ends up behind the front lower passenger side of the radiator and has plenty of room for the oil filter
