Oil coolers

[Primey]

Hi all,

 

Im sure there’s already a thread for this, but as there’s new products coming out all the time I thought I’d ask which oil coolers people would recommend? 

 

Ive seen a kit that uses a mocal 13 row that’s pretty reasonable on price. What’s everyone running?

Unless you are tracking or boosted an oil cooler might be a bit overkill

Hi;
I'm also searching for an oil cooler, and I see Mishimoto Oil cooler with termostat, but only with 19 row.

Also I searched in Z1 Motorspost o ConceptZPerformance and they had more options (19-25-34Row's, Stillen Core, Braided hoses with silicon protection....) But are more expensive and you have to add the shipping and toll taxes.

In my case I will go to a 25row because of climate in my land, but a Mishimoto 19row probably it's enough in UK.

 

An option that i've been a couple days ago it's the Hel oil cooler in Tarmac Sport Z

It's a 19row oil cooler for 330pounds I would like if someone have one them for know his/her opinion, but a think that you have to cut and plug the hoses...

What do you think?

Thanks for the advice! Did you replace the factory oil cooler or do you run that in addition to yours?

Actually I don't run any oil cooler yet, only the OEM water/oil exchanger. When I'm gonna to put the oil cooler, I keep the oil/water exchanger probably.

I recently got a Mocal 19-row kit (including 1/2" BSP dual port thermostatic sandwich plate from a retailed on eBay plus the 350Z specific bracket separately. MUCH cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

 

Hopefully fitting myself during an oil change next week along with a aam pan spacer - probably an extra 2-3L of oil...
