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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
