Whats the performance like on these $100~ chinese oil coolers compaired to Jap/Aus spec coolers?

Currently run an averaged size PWR oil cooler on my GTR but im not happy with the temps it gets up to on the track so wouldnt mind adding another if its only going to cost me $200~ all up its a good investment.

20cm x 20cm by not very thick >_< , i havent seen any other coolers up close but the fins seem really close together compared to the cheapies?

I also need to make some ducting for it but i doubt that will decrease temps dramatically.

Where do you find these 100 dollar coolers, I have a HKS cooler (radiator only) and need the rest of the deal to get ot going.

If it comes with the sandwich plate and the filter relocator it would serve me perfectly.

Im talking about oil cooler only, they can be had new for 50-150+ new depending on size from ebay, JustJap etc. I was just going to purchase lines seperatly, allready have thermostat etc & it looks to have room to hook another cooler in no probs.

Sell me your HKS cooler & buy a kit >_<

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
