Hi guys I recently purchased a oil cooler kit from xxxxx, wanting a 19 row cooler for my R33.

It finally arrives and it's a 10 row cooler. How much worse is this going to be for my car? Can I still use it? It'd take ages to send back to Japan and recieve a new one that is 19 row. The car is a series 1 GTS-T running a garret 3071R and all supporting mods. Any insights on this problem would be great thanks guys.

Cheers Steve

It depends on your car, your engine setup, how often you punish/trackday your car etc.

I use a Trust 10 row kit on my GTR producing 500awhp and its fine.

Steve,

Any price difference or is it the same?

How much all together delivered?

I need one!

But I'll be using standard turbo - I just dont want to punish the car too much at the track

Blitz, thanks mate for the info, that's what I needed to know, I've actually gone and decided to get just the oil cooler core from justjap in 19 row for $100 and just cut my losses on the other one, so if you want a spare... :)

Chris, pm me and I'll tell you who NOT to buy it from incase it happens to you as well, ordering the right one and receiving something smaller LOL. To answer your question a oil cooler and filter relocation kit cost me $380 delivered.

Unless you are doing the work yourself the pricy part of an oil cooler is getting it installed. I'm running a 19 row from Just Jap and it cost a fair bit to get it put in. Awesome job and I'll post up pics in the DIY thread.

I'm running a stock (GTR) oil pump and had it out on the track for the first time Wed. It oil temp was barely over street driving levels.

if the cooler you have now is the trust one, i personally would not be swapping it for a just jap one. either just use your 10row one, or ask for the 19row to be sent and send the 10row back.

The cooler I have now is not a Trust one as far as I know, it's a universal one from a well known trader on here(not slide)

We are doing the installation ourselves and so I'm not worried about costs in that regard, so yeah I might just buy a universal 19 row core. Thanks for all the info and suggestions guys.

Hi Steve,

Id like to apologise for the mix-up with your order and any inconvenience caused.

We accidently sent you the 11 row cooler by mistake and I have aranged for a 19 row cooler to be sent to you.

You should have it within the next few days.

I have sent you a PM with further details.

Regards,

Paul.

Hey guys.. sorry for veering the discussion a bit off topic but i was after a bit of help. the picture above shows what i have sitting in the garage ready to go into a r32 gts-t running a 2871r w/ upgraded fuel pump and necessary mods..

I was under the impression that when relocating your oil filter you needed a sandwich place as well as a relocation plate (which your oil filter will eventually plug into). I have been provided with the sandwich plate.. now is this just a spacer which allows for sender units and braided hoses (pictured above) to be installed? essentially keeping the oil filter in the same location (give or take 15mm)..? or am i missing a chunk of metal?

sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am a noobie..

cheers, tushar

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
