Default ARC Oil Cooler Installed

Wanted to share pics of my Z33 ARC Oil Cooler install since I believe I am the only G35 Sedan with one.

My friend Randy (RRYDE) installed the cooler. We had all of the brackets chromed and the cooler and fittings polished (thanks to Alf for help with polishing the cooler). I deanodized all of the AN fittings myself, so much work!

Also thanks to Rickdogg, he has very detailed pics of his install floating around that helped me visualize the install and how the lines would be run.

Before (I stripped the fittings with Easy Off and lots of sanding, about 8 hours of work!) and after (Randy polished them)

Thanks guys. Here are my other ARC parts for the ARC nuts out there haha. I also had the V2 Catch Can but I sold it as it hid all of the work I did to the front of the motor.

LOL nope I'm sponsored by Tanabe so I have their exhaust and Y-pipe. Recently came across a Z33 ARC titanium exhaust with the Y-pipe for a sick price but its already sold.

The one I found was in Japan. It was a single exit exhaust.

Thanks man! The engine bay has been a lot of fun modding the last several years. I got my STB used from someone on g35driver. I had it polished and RRYDE burned the ends and the brackets.

My intake tube it called a "FuRookie". A few of my friends had a couple of limited runs of them made. It similar to a Fujita, but the MAF sensor and hose connection are hidden on the underside of the pipe for a cleaner look.
