Z1 oil cooler install issues AWD

My installer is having a difficult time installing my oil cooler. I have an X sedan and got the kit with the thermostatic plate. In being told he can get one like connected but not the second. I think he may be routing the lines wrong. Can anyone with an X give me some tips to pass along to him?

I don't think that oil cooler fits on the AWD models as the install instructions don't mention G37X: https://www.z1motorsports.com/upload...llManualJD.pdf

The AWD G37's oil filter has a factory 90* adapter for the oil filter. This means the filter points to the FRONT of the car. The 370z & G37S oil filter is mounted directly on the side of the engine block and point to the front passenger tire.

All Wheel drive:


2 Wheel Drive:


Contact Z1 to verify.
Good luck!

I had the same issue with mine , the lines route is completly different. My installed called Z and they told him it was only tested on a RWD car. mine run behind the passanger side wheel splash shield and you have to clock the plate to like 7 oclock. I think it instructions have it at like 3 :/

Did you run both lines through the splash shield?

Where'd you get the stuff and who's installing it? I really liked it when I had it but I the thing I see being and issue is ( I KNOW) but on the street to have fun how would we change maps, the car has to be stopped, and I wouldn't thing you could drive 100% on that map and it would only be for NOS?
