Ok ....yes I have searched first, which has helped a little, but not so much with the PRE-PURCHASE SELECTION of preferred brands / models / sizes etc. As such I'm really keen to hear from R32 owners with fitted oil coolers.

I'd appreciate advice with;

* recommended brands / models

* row size (No doubt bigger the better but how many rows or width is too big limiting install locations?)

* thermostat versions (hype or value)

best fitting location of both

* the cooler

* remoted filter

* filter point up or down? (would image down, but seen others here point up)

I guess my preference for the cooler location would be in the front bar at the driver's side vents (space permitting??) Any brands standard allow for this?

Do any or all brands have a tank plug on the cooler for draining?

I apologise in advance if these are stupid questions...or if asked a 1,000 times b4. I'll accept links for answers as well.

I'm just lost for choice atm and looking for unbiased recommendations. Thanks guys.

I just fitted a HKS oil cooler on my r32 GTR with no remote filter , u won`t be able to mount it on the drivers side as there is no room , this kit u run the lines under the engine and mount the cooler at the passenger side vent..........have a look in the group buy some fellow had a thing going they looked good

with a sutable amount of cutting around the drivers side vent i was able to fit my oil cooler in, i will take some photos. Tight fit but seems to work well, witht he earls thermostat oil stays dead on 80 deg celsious according to the factory gauge.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
