| Everyone, I m going to attempt to address everyone's concerns and questions. Oil cooler setups like this are used everyday on all types of vehicles ranging from your everyday street cars to dedicated road race prototypes. This setup is nothing new or radical in design and theory. Keep in mind, the stock oil cooler system on the Z32 was designed for a STOCK engine. This is something that almost no one has anymore. As turbos, fuel injectors and engine internals are upgraded, the demand placed on the engine's cooling and lubrication system increases. This is even more evident when the vehicle is tracked or exposed to continuous high performance driving. When installing this kit, we strongly suggest the thermostatic sandwich plate adapter option for street applications unless you are using the vehicle for a full-on track car. The thermostatic sandwich adapter functions just like the name implies. It regulates the oil temperature to help maintain the ideal temperature. The key with any oil cooler setup is to keep the oil temps within that ideal margin. On street applications, without the thermostatic sandwich adapter, it is possible to over cool the oil during extreme winter months and as it would take much longer to bring the temperature of the oil up to the proper operating range. The need to keep engine temperatures in check is nothing new. This is one reason why people upgrade their radiators, thermostats and radiator caps. Why neglect the lubrication system when it is just as vital? KongZTT GT28RS MD - Since the stock oil cooler setup is a parrallel system, the restictors along with the pressure control valve in the filter tree are redundant measures to ensure that the engine maintains full oil pressure at all times. With the stock oil cooler systems design, if the system was wide open, with neither of these measures present, then pressure would not build in the engine. Oil would simply circulate through that parrellel open loop following the path of least resistance.
