its not a front grill copy one from old mate down the road....umm ARE. But then again arc probably dont even know he exists. Except that looks dead straight, Richards are curved to suit that front section.

I don't think even the US distributor knows where it goes. I've seen similar set-ups on cars in REV magazine. They all seem to mount under the intercooler, very close to the ground.

My hope is that it mounts between the headlamps behind the grille.

Anyone else?

This is the ARC oil cooler kit for the R34 GTR. Does this mount above the intercooler? Does it relocate the filter?

that picture does not show a relocation plate, or the 3 hoses required for a relocation kit.

and more than likely it will just fit behind the intercooler, out of sight.

Just a thought.

If your gtr is stock its not a good idea to be running an oil cooler. As this obviously reduces the oils temperature, which inturn increases its viscosity making it thicker and slower moving. Resulting, in alot of stress on your oil pump that can cause it to break down & will eventually run your bottom-end dry! :laugh:

... assuming he doesnt intend to use a oilstat :rofl:

Definitely using a t-stat. Tomei oil pump, mostly stock bottom. I am gonna call my ARC distributor tomorrow and see what detail he has (although probably none). I figure I'll go with the blitz (t-stat option) or get this one and tie in a t-stat. I'd like to get one that uses the space above the intercooler behind the grille (assuming that's where the ARC goes).

Any suggestion of other makes that places it there on an R34?

thanks!

Iv always thought a simple kit like the ones on JustJap would do (though you’d have to add a oilstat)

- Mocal - a brit company making a LOT of stuff

- Theres the cast take off’s from Revo RaceGear then just add a qual cooler, sereck or what ever.

Theres a few options around, most cheaper then buying a jap name brand. That said adding a cooler / remote filter can be one of those simple things, you f*ck up and pop a motor doing. So please take cost, build quality etc all into consideration. If your not comfortable with making up lines, Earls, Speedflow Aeroquip etc, then call the enzed guy.

As for locations on a R34,

- between IC and radiator is often used spot

- in one of the front brake ducts ( drivers side) though not sure if that area vents to the wheel cavity or not [cross flow]

- low, under the radiator… but then that’s old rotary style, and seems a little risky for track use etc. Tis like having your testicals mounted below your knees “they bound to take a knock” – a bash plate or something could help.

- further underneath he car, near the gear box?

that kit pictured mounts in the bottom of the main front bar opening on an R34 GTR. it mounts right at the bottom, on a little bit of an angle.

I have a pic somewhere of one I saw a few years ago in Japan. will dig it out.

Above the front diffuser?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
