For those running an external oil cooler, mind posting some pictures of where you have it mounted?

Also, while we are a perforamance parts vendor, I have never seen an HKS, ARC or GReddy/Trust oil cooler in person - are these really any difference between those and a B&M or Fluidyne cooler? I have teh ability and parts to do all the braided lines myself, so that part is easy, jsut wondering if the coolers themselves really differ much in terms of quality.

Thanks

To be honest with you, i have seen a fluidyne and a HKS item in the flesh. And the fluidyne looks of a much higher build quality than the HKS item.

cant comment about the B&M..

cheers,

I know B&M offers the oil coolers as well, as we have had some orders on them

The thing that got me was the price difference is staggering - I can get the Fluidyne's for around $200, Mocal for about the same, B&M is only around $100!

Meanwhile HKS and GReddy are, well, far far more $$.

ARC is another league altogether - I know they make top notch items, but not sure its worth all the extra price for what I need to accomplish.

I meant to reply to this and forgot about it until now, anyway here's my Trust cooler. I'm happy with it, the series II bumper provided a great place to mount it.

      You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.

      Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha

      Can someone tell me what this part is for? Someone duct taped it.

      Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
