Whatever you do dont buy a cheap e-bay one like I did with anodized hose fittings that last a couple of weeks before breaking dumping oil everywhere. Then cost a fortune to replace as they are some crazy sise. I am getting too old and CHEAP. Buy a brand name one like GREDDY and save all the hassels.

you wont need an oil cooer if you have no plans on hitting a track..

it will just be another thing that can go wrong.

although if u are, i have a justjap 34 row and i got some custom braided lines made up at pirtek and used a Earls billet sandwich plate.

last time i was at EC my oil temps didnt go above 120

i chose the cooler + thermo stat as i do a hell of a lot of track drifting + circut. thermostat was a nec as i also drive on the street and its freezing here in the adelaide hills so i dont want to over cool the oil.

How does a thermostat help to keep your oil warm?

I agree, a thermostat is a prerequisite for an oil cooler. If you don't have one the motor will take ages to get up to operating temperature.

If i have an unknown brand aftermarket radiator on my R34GTT, will the Nismo thermostat fit?

As i have an GREDDY Oil cooler as well.

You're way off track mate, We're talking about OIL thermostats not water thermostats, And the nismo waster thermostat should fit no worries.

LOL, thought something was wrong.

I may need to source one of these then.

Wouldn't happen to have the part no. on you by any chance?

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
