Oil Cooler Installation R33 Gtr 400r Front Bar, Lhs Or Rhs Of Bar?

[some_cs_student]

Hey,

Apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum, there's plenty of discussion of cooling/oil here...

Still purchasing an oil cooler / relocation kit due to all the other complications I've had with doing an oil change, lol.

Anyway, on the R33 GTR's, I have a 400R front bar, is it possible to locate a large oil cooler in the RHS / drivers side of the bar?

The cooler is close to 11*11cm.

Or should I buy extra long hoses and put it in the LHS of the bar?

Getting one that goes in the RHS of the bar is obviously easier, but I can get one to go into the LHS / passenger side of the bar if its the recommended way on a GTR.

Regards,

Gareth

Left hand side will be better for corner weight balance

Definitely, but not much will offset the weight of the driver on the RHS

I'm just trying to find out if its harder to install in the RHS and seeing if I can pay some extra $$$ to get longer lines to get to the LHS of the bar.

not 100% sure on a 33 but on the 32 i had to cut out a lil of the bar from the inside and some of the rio to fit my oil cooler on the rhs and thats in front of twin blitz BOV, id think youd have a lil more room in that bar, but dont take my word for it, i think either way you go your probably gonna need to make some minor modifications, (or cutting )

try install it between the intercooler and radiator having it stick up behind the grill you might need to re-locate the horns

I have just completed this with a greddy oil cooler kit on my r33 gtr. Kit was designed for drivers side guard and came with a air deflecter. It does fit but i had to slightly move/ rotate and discard some of the brackets for my blow off valves because they are blitz items and are too large fouling the core.

But very easily done. Hope that gives you some help
