It's probably still going to over heat since I have the OEM thermostat. The thermostat is the key. I have seen what increasing the core surface area does, as I retrofitted the AR oil cooler first, and then added the OEM. all the ER one will do is by some more time. As long as you are driving as hard as I am, you will over heat this thing, its just a matter of time. I'm ok, now, but by the end of a 30 minute session, I am already at 280F, especially if I'm paddle shifting, then it happens much sooner.

I would love to get a GTR, so my skill can continue to improve, but used car prices are rediculous right now. 70K for an '09? With that weak tranny? Corvettes are similarly over priced too.
