i have an r33 gtr what oil cooler should i be looking at, how many rows and whats the difference? i dont know much about it just got told i should get one and it would help my engine life alot more. so any suggestions guys?

hey dude,

You will only need one if your considering thrashing the GTr at mallala, or you drive it hard in the hills on 30+degree days.

There are many oil coolers out there, ebay ones to jap ones.

Personally id buy nothing but the Jap ones, either HKS, Greddy etc.

Other wise you dont really need one the oil stays pretty cool in the GTR's until you start pushing hard all day or doing constant high speeds.

Greddy do a direct bolt on kit for your car the full on mega super kit is $1399 p/n 12024421, it relocates your oil filter and is a 16 layer core comes with all fittings, braided hoses, brackets and billet alloy sandwitch plate if you come see me i can do it for you at $1250.00 not inc freight

is there much difference between the no brand ones and say the top dollar ones?? if you can get a decent one for $400 why the hell would you pay $1400 for a brand name one?

I bought a cheap kit off JustJap for something like $350 and it works awesomely - oil temps stay nice and low. But if you really, really care about your engine I would go a brand name kit. (If my engine blew up I would have to replace it with an RB26 lol).

There was a group buy on these a while ago (this time last year) they were reasonably priced, B&M core, thermostat controlled and included the filter relocaton kit. I think they were through UAS or something. You'd probably still be able to get a bit of discount since you're from SAU. Do a search in the group buy section.

u get what u pay for

LOL - this sounds like a line the girls use when paying exorbitant prices for shoes or handbags.

An oil cooler is VERY VERY low tech, and shouldn’t be very expensive. Sure a solid gold unit will be good for heat transfer, but I doubt any of us would see the benefit for the price.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
