Default Oil Cooler Question

Hey folks,

I'm just kind of curious as to what are the more popular brands for oil coolers out there. I have been doing some looking around and I know ARC, stillen, nismo and some others make some specific kits for the Z. And I have seen a universal kit made by GReddy. So just kind of interested about looking into this, and wondering what your guys' thoughts are. Thanks!

I have the stillen kit and am happy with it. As the others said, you can get the same parts individually.

Any pix to show or install instructions?? I'm really thinking of going GReddy. There is actually a kit made for the 350z by GReddy on their Japan website (trust-power.com).

The Nismo oil cooler has long been discontinued. I personally went with the HKS Oil cooler because it also came with an oil filter relocation kit.

Yeah I'll take a picture tomorrow. I ordered the Greddy oil block w/ thermostat from that kit as well.

I can take pics of it in the box but I don't think that will help you. I'll probably install it in a few weeks when i get a chance.

Yes, we can get them but no we don't have them in stock. They are all made to order from HKS Japan.
