Jason,
I actually built my own which parts I pick. Here is a thread RBALDINELLII created eons ago. I followed it and it is cheaper yet still very functional. Probably the only things I would change is getting a black color cooler and different color hoses. Probably stainless steel lines. I hope that helps.

Setrab is another one but not sure if they have a kit. If this is for a 370z, I'd check out that board. There are a TON of posts, DIY, and feedback sonce this is a major issue w the Z34. I've heard some of the kits still aren't sufficient for tracking and people are DIY with larger and multiple cores.

i think people are crazy to shell out that kinda money for a oil cooler.
All GTM has done is package OTS products, mark them up again, and resell. Thats an excellent business plan and it has seemed to work superbly! You can get all those components from Jegs/Summit for cheap and make your own -AN lines from ebay.
Heck even this would work perfectly http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=370288418608
you may just want to swap to a thermostatic sandwich plate.
Better yet, send me 550$ and I'll make you a oil cooler kit

If that GTM Comp kit is the one your looking at it is probably the best kit. But if the Stillen kit comes with a thermostatic plate (which they didn't when I spec'd mine together, but now on the Stillen site it says they do) it would be plenty.

As for mounting there might be a place you can mount on the radiator support. I am sure your guy can figure it out.
Good Luck
