I found this photo whilst searching on a Japanese site.

The japlish to go with it...

"Designed to be symmetrical with the main engine. Toward the bottom left is the air-cooled oil cooler. Rainer scrap iron, aluminum is employed by the boa.

That's looks crazy.

Anyone know why they used two intercoolers, rather than one large one (thus giving it a larger surface area)?

Because it makes the plumbing simpler & the cooling from the intercoolers is the same for each bank of the motor.

Notice the interccolers are mounted sideways....

^^^ yep what he said ----- remember, simple piping is also a key factor in efficient cooling.

looks like it would be a bitch to change the alternator in the car!

hopefully it's not to bad from under neath,

Just like any gtr a bitch to work on that said everything looks tight to work on and around at least its not as bad as 300zx engine out to change the filter lol

yeah oil cooler on the left.

only thing i find interesting, is that you'd think that having the intercoolers like that would slow the intake air speed down a bit compared to a fmic type cooler, as the air travels into the cooler then has to do 2 90 degree turns before it exits.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
