Are you sick of paying $2 per clip from Nissan?

Our cars are covered in these Push in clips & I like to have a few spares just in case I break one.

yeh radiator.

no thats for a G35 auto. you can run an external trans into the loop with the in built trans. hence no need for a thermostat, as the radiator will warm up the oil and keep it at running temp a lot quicker than an isolated trans cooler.

im getting Race Radiators to make mine custome. 3 way pass, in built trans cooler. and holds about 2 litres more.

will be ditching the trans cooler if this one seems good enough.

Is anyone running a trans cooler before the radiator to drop oil temps so the radiator doesnt need to work as hard. I figure if the cooler lowers the oil temp too much the radiator will lift the temp a little to where it's needed. It might help the radiator to keep the engine a little cooler Its not trying to cool the trans oil as much. This is for a stock daily driven set up. Any thoughts?

its a debated situation, running it before, just means the radiator will re heat it, and running it after means that it will be cool going back into the trans.

ive done it both ways and dont notice any difference. that said, im not measuring the exact temp.

I believe that is the preferred setup & the way I will install mine.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
