Milenko2121 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 has anyone retrofitted the stock 280zx oil cooler to fit a 280z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was, then found a nice setup for the Mustang that was a perfect fit. It uses a sandwich type unit that is located behind the oil filter, comes with all the fittings, hoses and cooler. All I had to do was fab the mounting brackets, to hang the cooler infront of the radiator. The total cost for the kit and the aluminum flat bar I used was 115$. The kit included a thermo switch for seperate fan control, and has a built in thermo control that keeps the oil temp regulated The only thing I had to change was the oil filter, it has to be shorter than the stock unit.

LanceVance Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Many people use the zxt oil filter adapter in conjunction with coolers other than the ZX unit. Considering you've already got to make new lines most of the time, don't limit yourself to that cooler. I personally plan on running an early RX7 cooler I picked up a while back. That said, I'm sure plenty of people stick with the matching cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
