Recently purchased a Trust/greddy Oil Cooler Kit (with builtin thermostat) no oil filter relocation for r33 gts25t

< Does anyone have a greddy oil cooler kit installed on their r33 gts25t? >

Now in my attempt to install the kit i can't figure out which side of the sandwich plate (left or right) in the first pic (front) flows OIL to the oil cooler and from the oil cooler back to the sandwich plate.

The instructions that came with it wasn't very useful being in japanese and the pics/diagrams don't help.

(Is it the left or right that goes to the top of the oil cooler core?)

Opposite side of the sandwich plate that goes against the engine block

Managed to get the Greddy Oil Cooler kit on my r33gtst over the weekend and the car survived a wakefield trackday without leaking.

I was wondering what route and how does everyone run the braided hoses on greddy oil cooler kits(located in front of radiator behind fmic) from the sandwich plate to the core? (RB20/25DET's) because right now its a VERY VERY tight fit..

I'm worried next time if i spin off the track the hoses gets pulled a little (since its hanging low and tight) it my rip off my oil cooler connection to the core and oil everywhere) - its slightly bent now

Right now i'm running the hoses down to the area where the front tow hook is back up behind my fmic and in front of the radiator to the oil cooler. (are others drilling an additional hole for the hoses to run through to front like they did for the fmic piping?)

will post up pics tonight

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
