ARC? ur kidding right?

Dude, just buy a mishimoto for 195 bucks and be done w it. Its the same thing and you will NEVER EVER see it.. ever.

Get a power steering cooler while youre in the front end for 39 bucks ( search) and get an oil pan spacer as well.

Up your oil capacity, get a cooler w the proper size and prop sized lines for our car, done deal.

no hard feelings, but the spoon feeding stops at this time.. use the search and read the plethora of already available material on this. That would certainly be step one to road racing a 350z.
have a good weekend.

i couldnt imagine paying that much for a oil cooler, my $250 kit that uses stainless lines and 24 row oil cooler works great.............. and the most expensive part is the stainless line

for under 300 I put together a great cooler using a Setrab cooler, Mocal sandwich plate and stainless steel lines.

It works great and with my ARC knockoff oversized oil pan I run at 140 in 115 degree Phoenix weather all day long.
