I've done my reading and decided to go with B&M oil cooler, here's the difference between GTM and B&M:

GTM offers a cooler size 13" X 5.75" X 2 " 19 R 22MM.

While B&M offers cooler size 13.5" x 9" x 3.5" 17 R WITH a 9.5" Fan, 175 Degree Thermostat, and it's $145.25 cheaper than the GTM.

And since GCC cars already equiped with transmission oil cooler, swapping it with a BIGGER one with a cooling fan would give a lot temp. drop.

As for the engine oil cooler, it's another story, i'll see what i'll do about it l8tr.

You mean the info you posted above? Yeah it's beneficial because I didn't know there was soo much difference between the GCC and US spec cars. Although we have to double check some of the info.

On a side note, my exhaust has arrived at CVR with Chris and hopefully they'll be getting the new exhaust sent out tomorrow ....can't wait

Lol, no i didn't mean the info up there, i meant the info i sent him in PM about some tuner shops in Kuwait, and a link for B&M cooler:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BM...7/?image=large

I've found someone who can install the B&M TrasnGo kit, i saw a 350z owner and he told me where and who installs it, he said many people think his Z is MT while he's shifting, he's very happy with it, which makes me think about getting it.

I know, that PM was sent to Q8y_drifter, and here's the link in the post, but if you want to come all the way to Kuwait to get your tranny upgrade done, you gonna need to come with some friends in a weekend, because the car would take sometime until it's done, maybe stay a day or two in Kuwait while doing it, better have another car with you though.

So yes, you had me go all the way to the junk yard to double check my info which was correct, Japan is a hot country btw, and freaking cold in winter, rest of the year it's fine, i'll be going to a performance shop now to buy some oil temp. sensors and try to fabricate something to get some reading on the cooler which i'll be getting next week, the problem is i have to find a way to read the inlet and outlet oil temp. somehow .

Defratos, you like what i sent you , gonna check Supershop if they got it in their stock.
Lol the hottest weather Japan gets throughout the year isn't more than 35*C and the coldest weather they get is between -1 and -2*C...
So it's surprising that you say they have the same cooling systems as we do. I'll have to look into that myself since I've always seen JDM imports getting their cooling systems changed.
Maybe its just the new Infiniti cars or something...
Good luck with the setup.

Tbh last time i was on q8speed.com was around 3 years, too many kids on the forums, so it's useless to even look at it, everything sux in there anyways, but the classified section was a good one.

In Kuwait it gets to 53c and you still can walk outside, when i was in Australia the temp. was around 23c in Gold Coast and i dare you to stand in the sun, it would burn like hell since the Ozon hole is above them and the weather is so damn clear.
Anyways i don't know about the JDM cars in UAE with their cooling getting replaced, but they must be highly tuned to replace them, a friend of mine from Al-3ain bought a Land Cruiser and never changed his coolers, he said the stock JDM one is better than anything he can get from the dealer, he never had problems with his car the whole 4 years he stayed in Kuwait, on the other hand, he couldn't drive his Supra which was very tuned and got massive racing coolers, he did put around 743rwhp with it, but he could only drive it at night and on open highways, otherwise his temp. would go skyhigh.

Btw Borna, did you notice that 2007 G35 came with 260km/h spedometer while the 2008 G35 came with 280km/h spedometer? and did you notice the sunglass compartment on your model came with 2 white LEDs lights, while our model got only 1 LED light?

Understandable...
I've seen non tuned cars getting the cooling systems changed but maybe they change them as a precaution or something. Like I said, I'm not sure about the JDM systems so I can't comment on it in detail.
My friend with a Supra has the same problem. Summer time the car sits in the garage. He's tuned to around 650rwhp. lol poor guys tune them and can't drive them.

I did notice that...
I don't see the point of a 280 km/h speedo since the car won't go faster than 260 km/h stock but I must admit, it is cool to have. You 08 guys are lucky with that one.
But the 2 LEDs on the overhead looks better than the 1 LED on the 08's. Infiniti should've at least centered the single LED. The fact that it's offset to the right makes it look like something is missing on the other side.

Btw Borna here's another fact the JDM coolers are the same as GCC if not better, you know that cooler engine burn fuel as it's supposed to be, which leads into reduce the fuel smell in the exhaust bla bla bla, which is environmental friendly, and it also help to prolong your engine internals life and the oil it self would be less burnt or something, and Japan got a really strict rules about this matter, so they use better cooler anyways for environmental reasons, also on top of that, just in case you don't know, they got a law that force them to change the cats every 3 or 5 years i guess, or maybe the whole exhaust systems, i can't remember which one.
But haven't you noticed that no matter how old a JDM car in the junk yard, it still looks like new?? it's their rules.

I wonder if you or anyone can confirm what i've said, i'll ask a friend of mine who usually visits Japan twice a year, and he's an authorized HKS dealer in Kuwait.

I honestly don't know much about that. I do know that they are more strict in Japan, one reason why the R34 Skyline was rated at 240hp when it really made more, but I don't know any details of their rules.

I do agree that whenever I see a freshly imported used car from Japan it looks brand new, I didn't know it was a rule though, I just though the Japanese took really good care of their cars.

Maybe someone else can chime in and confirm what you said

Just get the GReddy kit or something made in Japan for JDM spec cars if you upgrade the cooling system cause I'm 99% sure that aftermarket systems from the US won't do much.

Actually a cooler is a cooler, i don't think 46mm Stillen radiator would do less cooling that a 46mm Trust (aka Greddy in USA) radiator, thus if the oil coolers from Greddy size were 10"x7"x2" and B&M cooler was the same size, then the cooler would be the same, but the difference is you'll pay $206 for the B&M cooler, and pay a lot of $$$ for the Greddy, so as i said before if they are the same size, they'll both do the same cooling, but you'll pay less, but of course the only thing left is the quality, nothing compares to the quality of things made in Japan.
Wherever it's made in US or Japan it'll give the same cooling as long as it's the same size, maybe 3c less/more.

Yeah I know what you mean. The thing is, most coolers I've seen for the US spec cars are about the same size as the GCC spec ones. I don't know about B&M though, so if you found one by them for our cars which is significantly bigger than the GCC spec coolers then it should be a good buy. B&M makes good products for the muscle car market so they should be decent quality.
