Besides DIY (which I'm willing to do) are there well-fitting off the shelf options for adding an oil cooler to a G37 sedan? I'm fine with making minor mods to make a kit fit, but I don't want to buy something to find out that I have to make an irreversible mod to get a kit to work (might as well go DIY if that's the case).

Intent is to track the car, so I'll probably be going with a 19 or 25 row setrab FWIW.

Thanks

 

GTM, Z1, Stillen, etc. If you plan to track the car regularly, you'll want to consider a 25 or 34 row cooler. With a 7AT, you'll want to consider a transmission cooler as well.

 

For Track, which fluids do you all run Motul in as well?

I had problems w/ my clutch getting soft and sticking to the floor and my rev limiter kicking in at 5500 RPMs when I was at Powercruise about a month ago.

Read up that an Oil cooler will help w/ the rev limiter, and the Motul fluid in the clutch fluid will solve the soft clutch??

 

I run Motul 5.1 in my brakes but will upgrade to RBF600 before taking it to the track. RBF660 is better but not when wet so for a combo DD/track car I'd go with RBF600 and bleed it twice a year or after a couple track events, whichever comes first.

Also, make sure you change your oil since you hit high temps (if you haven't already). That oil shouldn't be in your engine anymore.

 

I've installed the GTM 25 row cooler on my friends coupe and the only thing I had to do was drill a hole on the radiator support beam. That was it! I doubt it'll be too different

 

Think I'm going to go with the z1 kit. 10an fittings, and uses the stock filter.

 

What is the best AT Automatic Transmission Cooler options for G37? Folks that has it plz chime in!

 

I have 1 series 19 row trany oil cooler and 6 series 25 row for engine , both are z1 kit .

 

^ are they better than the stock ones ?

i don't track my car but the weather here hits 100F at afternoon & maybe 83F at night

oil cooler or trany cooler or thermostat ?

or all of them ?!!

 

There is no stock cooler for oil or tranny. There is only a crappy PS "cooler" (it really is crappy) and a radiator.

I just found a deal on a used nismo 34-row kit using -10AN fittings and lines. Will get the Z1 mocal thermostat kit and it will still be less than the cost of a new 25-row job. Hopefully it all works out when installing- will report back once the product is in hand.

Also, got to give props to Chuck at Z1. He's a stand up guy and supported me with information even after I told him I found a used kit I was leaning towards. He's got my ongoing business in the future (I picked up and reviewed some SS brake lines from them recently).

 

z1 cooler 34-row is nearly a 550$ without anything else i think ,


great deal IMO take it if it's in great condition

 

Yeah I'm excited- hoping it will all fit but Chuck says he thinks it will. And yeah, it was a fortunate deal. Hopefully all parts are in good condition. I'll post pics up once I get em

 

i am waiting already for your post .. good luck

 

Got the oil cooler! It's the real deal for a steal! 35 row jobbie.

 

did you Install it ?

temp's before & after if there is any
