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 :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
