Hi all

Can anyone give me some advise on installing this oil cooler on a R32 GTR

Core position will be "under the sub crossmember" - not sure what this means

any pictures of a 32 GTR with this cooler already installed will be helpful too

Thanks guys

I've had a quick look to try and understand what they refer to as the 'sub crossmember' with not much luck. When you ordered the kit it should have told you where the core is supposed to be located. I have a similar greddy kit which i will soon be fitting, but with a bit more of a custom installation. Do a search as there have been a few threads on oil cooler fitting. One of which was mine. Had a few pics.

people have warned me about its positioning, but i have never had a problem. and i had many off's at eastern creek ;)

the only place you should be mounting it is inside the passenger side brake duct. did the kit come with the alloy duct too? is it new or used?

I'm getting the kit today

I thought drivers side will be better. What does everone think?

not sure about the alloy duct though

Its new by the way

it wont fit on the drivers side as the BOVs are there. the whole kit is desinged to mount in a specific spot and for the greddy kits it's either under the radiator support, or in the passenger side duct. the duct is much better as it really doesn't do very much being mounted behind the intercooler.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
