Yes, I do have g35 vq35hr and recently I added Stillen transmission cooler.
My custom fiberglass underbody cover is thick and rather heavy, so I replaced it today with the stock thin plastic. But now I feel my front end is rather loose (strong undercover works like brace), so I will drill some vent holes in it and return it to the place!
And yes, I will remove upper engine cover (with infiniti logo) for summer.
P.s. English is not my native language, so i make mistakes sometimes

2) custom fiberglass or metallic underbody is a "must have" in my region, or you would damage the engine oil pan! i chose fiberglass because of its weight (2 times lighter than the metallic one).

First off, car is 330hp factory at the engine. Second, from my talkings with them yesterday, once the car gets really hot it starts pulling timing and starts hurting power. The oil cooler keeps the oil at 180-190* MAX so the engine never gets to hot and starts pulling power. They showed me their cooler. 25 row derale cooler. Pretty compact in size. They normally mount it in front of the radiator. Personally I'm not gonna deal with it anytime soon but take it for what it's worth.

vq35hr is rated 306hp
the problem is I don't know where to mount it, as I already have transmission cooler on the drivers side and power steering cooler on the other...

If the car could be driven without cover , why would they make one ?
When my car was tuned the engine cover was removed, however after pulls it was put back on.
To properly cool motor We/ you need an oil cooler.
Even running n/a settle up, not just for boosted motors.
