Aftermarket Oil Coolers

Anyone have an opinion as to the best aftermarket oil cooler out there for a Z32 TT?

Thanks

The general consensus is bigger is better. Some that'll just drop right in are the Nismo cooler and the Stillen unit. You could use an oil cooler from whatever manufacturer you please but it won't be guaranteed to just drop right in without fitment and/or connectivity issues.

Thx Rizz.

I looked at the Nismo and it appears to be what I was looking for; Performance and drop in\turn key fit. Still not sold on Stillen as a vendor for this or other items. Heard a lot of stories about poor quality.

Thx again.

I wouldn't blame Stillen too much for that. They basically just rebadge products as their own and resell them. I'd only spring for their exclusive products such as aero kits n stuff. Otherwise they tend to be just too expensive.

You are on the money (no pun intended) with that comment ! Stillen is high end bucks.

They do make nice aero kits, as you state. Speaking of Aero kits...I saw these side skirts on a 300ZXTT. Do you know the vendor name?

That looks like a wings west kit. I could be wrong but that'd be my guess.

Thanks.

I like the kit, except for the spoiler. Not a big fan of the "Starsky & Hutch" look.....lol

Thanks. The photo may very well have been posted before on ZDriver but that specific pic was an old one from Auto Trader.com

The car was for sale but is no longer on the site....so I can't ask the owner.

If you locate it, let me know.
