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 are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
