N1 Oil Cooler

[NISMO]

Hey Guys,

I have a 92 N1 GTR and was thinking on popping in a GREX oil cooler kit. However I have been reading that the N1's came with an upgraded oil cooler.

Can anyone confirm this? Where is it located?

I want to do a bit of track work, and was wondering if it's necessary to to upgrade to the GREX kit?

Cheers

Have a look around the radiator, my guess is that it would be around there

Give it a bit of stick down old pac one day soon and keep an eye on the temps - that should give you an indication As a reference, my old setup with no cooler would hit 130degrees with ease on old pac doing the uphill section

I am BUSTING to have a look at your new car mate - Coming to any club events soon?

Thanks Steve,

I'm busting to get to an event :-)

Hopefully the upcoming cruise, if all goes well.

I'll have a look around the radiator tonight when i get home.

I haven't given it too much so far (have hardly driven it!) but I'm yet to see oil temps over 90 (on the stock guage).

I was going to do the cooler this weekend and take it from there.

To be honest, I'm getting the GREX kit from a mate for $300 so may just do it anyway. Will give me even more track days in 40degree Wakie summer heat.

The N1 coolers are huge, our R33 N1 cooler makes the Trust kit on my car look small. You shouldn't need to worry about upgrading it.

Bobby they usally sit up the top on the drivers side of the radiator.

If you dont use your mates cooler set up may i purchase it

Thanks guys.

I may have missed out, or they could have only came on the second series of R32 N1's (V-spec's) cause I can't find anything.

Unless I'm completely blind (which is possible).

I've checked infront of the rad. and in the front bar on both sides in front of the wheel wells and nothing that i can see.

Ryan, if I find a cooler already on mine, no drama's.

I'm not sure where the standard n1 32 cooler sits, the only way to confirm is to look for 2 oil lines coming from a sandwich plate under the oil filter. I'll try and dig the pics out of fast - either post or pm me your vin and i will look it up

[NISMO]

Thanks Duncan,

You have PM.

[Duncan]

here you go. not clear exactly where it sits if the car has air con, I suspect it is either air con or oil cooler but not both

[N1GTR]

Is it this exact oil cooler that nissan want a crazy amount of dollars for or is it the later model N1 coolers?

[NISMO]

Thanks Duncan,

I'm going to take the front bar off this weekend and see what I can find. You'd imagine that something that size should be visible but I couldn't see anything.

I'll see how i go.

I think they want crazy amounts for both mate.

Hopefully I've just missed it and there is one on the car.

[N1GTR]

*fingers crossed*

thanks buddy,

Not to fussed if it isn't cause $300 for the GREX kit including filter relocator in virtually brand new cond. aint that bad. It's just the hassle of fitting it :-)

A mate who's gone a big single on a 32 GTR bought the GREX kit which had a couple of thousand k's on it, but then decided to go brand new as it was pretty much the only second hand part on the engine build.

On a side note, he fired it up last week for the first time and put out a nice 430kw at the rears only.

Nice power! PM Sent btw

$300 for that? ill give you $400 for it, today! Unless someone has already got in for it

[Duncan]

I've never been brave enough to ask for the cost of a genuine n1 cooler kit. Pretty sure sav man bought one for his 33 n1 though.

we've always just used an "aftermarket equivalent"

Don't take the bloody front bar off you goon! Have a look at the oil filter area and look for two hoses of 2-3cm diameter coming out from a sandwich plate (about 2-3cm thick) sitting between the oil filter and the block. If you find the hoses, follow them down the yellow brick road to nirvana.

[NISMO]

I was gonna take it off anyway :-)

I'm pretty sure there isn't one though, cause I'd definitely be a goon if i missed the thing sitting somewhere in the front!
