All the packaged setups are waaaay overpriced. Your best bet is to piece together your own parts from www.summitracing.com or similar site. All you really need is the sandwich plate, lines, and cooler. I put together a nice one for about $100. No pics yet though

yeah i saw that. lol
there are some 19 row kits on ebay with braided lines and the relocator kits for like $160 shipped. i wonder how the ebay stuff holds up? not a whole lot of science behind a small fluid cooler. saw some threads on my350 but i wonder what the best overall size is on a g35?

The "universal" kits on ebay dont have any kind of warranty you can lean of if it was to leak. If you purchase from Summit, you can rely on them to back up the product. Their service is awesome. I bought some headers for my Nova a few years ago and when they came in, they had some scratches on them from shifting around during shipping. I called to complain and the guy said I had a choice of exchanging them with no out of pocket expense or I could have a $50 gift card. THAT is what I am talking about!

I bought one of those kit on ebay and it was a headache, the only think legit was the actually cooler, the sandwich and fitting were cheap with threads that easily strips, I had leakage at the fitting. After i got that fixed, the lines leaked. So get good quality lines and fittings! GlowShift actually makes a good sandwich adapter that comes with pre-drill fitting for sensors (pressure/temp). Goodluck

What does the oil capacity change to with an oil cooler? I assume that might vary with different sized coolers.

yeah, depends on the size of the cooler and how long your lines are. some of the z guys run their coolers to the driver side. then you figure if you have an oil pan spacer or not.
