Total waste of money unless you're seriously modded, get exhaust and FI first....

It's pretty expensive. And the thought that comes to my mind is, "Why?"

Do you track your car a lot for long sessions?

How do you figure you are going to overheat your oil in 14 seconds???

This engine has excellent cooling. You have no need for that whatsoever if all you are doing is N/A weekend drag racing.

Unbelievable Stillen asking $425 for that kit. Not even $150 worth of materials there. Build one yourself.

If your G37 "overheats" it's oil when you're dragging it then something seriously wrong with it..

You sure those arent' Civics that are overheaing??

Speak For Yourself.

In just 5 minutes or so of hard driving uphill (4,000 - 6,000ft) through some twisties, (repeated hard acceleration after many fast decelerations) I triggered the "limp mode".
Car returned to normal after a parking and cool down period.
I'm 100% stock and an oil cooler would be a nice addition if it would have prevented it!

I'm no Mario, but I can push my G close to it's limits easily...

There's nothing wrong with my car either, it's just that some peoples definition of hard driving is not so hard after all (wussies).

I think the oil cooler is a great mod if you drive your car hard especially in hot climates. That is a high price though.
