I have a remote filter and want to run oil cooler from this-I have a Magna transmission cooler that I propose to use. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? I have heard people using it with good results but others have questioned it. Any comments would be appreciated.

I have a G-ready oil cooler, f*kING SWEET!, has a thermostat inbuilt so that it wont cool the oil when the oil is cold. Which is important if you live in a cooled area. oil is not fully affective untill at operating temp. Not only does it look good it works really well to :cheers:

Its not driving on the road that you need it for its on the track.

You dont need to get one with the thermostat, You can get the 100mile an hour tape and tap up the front of the cooler for when it cooled and your just driving around (winter)>that what we do with the race car.

Ive got a greddy oil cooler myself, so far no issues. Would like to see real world difference though between a car with and a car without.

Dunno bout GTST's, but my BNR32 and many others reaches up to 1100c with some spirited street driving. With a cooler it takes some serious hot day'ed track / street work to hit 100.

I use a Earls, cut from billet block adapter and oil filter mount. I use a Earls billet oilstat with -10 race fittings through out. Less then 1/2 cost compared to Jap kits, and you can choose the best core that fits your setup.

I have been trying to fit a Trust core into the drivers brake duct, though will have to sell it, and grab a Sereck, as even moving the stock BOV's doesn't give enough room.

F_uck brand name, your looking for an effect. If you can hook up the trans cooler you have now easily, and it works? then use it. If not, change it :)

Like ppl have mentioned, it'l get hot if you run it hard, if you track your car, or use a lot of WOT on the street; then you'll need one.

I have a justjap oil cooler on the datto, its ok, but the threads are way too easy to stuff and theres a constant threat of oil leaks if you move or disconnect it then reconnect it. Having said that, the cooler works well and it was apropriately priced for the quality :(

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
