I have a Mishimoto oil cooler kit for the engine, and a Stillen transmission cooler. I like them both no issues with either. I do a check on all the lines everytime I change the oil.

We actually install a oil cooler on a 2010 G37 a couple years back and till day he has not run into any problems and has nothing but success when he tracks the car.. I would highly recommend it..

25 row oil cooler either go with stillen tranny or a z1 cooler. Power steering is up to you since its pretty cheap. You could also upgrade your stock radiator to a csf one. And also replace your lines to silicone ones. These mods right alone should drastically change your cars temp for sure.

Why the silicone lines? I would expect them to hamper thermal transfer from their skin and you don't really want that. Unless they're running through the passenger compartment...

Stillen... Both Tranny and Oil are great.

Have the oil cooler. Works fine for me. Planning on changing to silicone lines and maybe changing the thermostat to the mishimoto one. Allows coolant to run thru the car sooner. Don't plan on changing my radiator though.

So no more limp node on the track with oil cooler I assume. Would a transmission cooler be necessary though?

I would say yes for both. Especially if you track the G. For a daily it's not really needed unless you're in a hot climate zone.
