I have seen oil surge in my R33GTS25t, I have 225/60x16s, DBA slotted rotors with EBC greenstuff. On hard stop from 60-70 kph with a full stop (ABS active) the oil light will flash for less than a second as the car stops!!!!

Better baffles or accusump are the only things that will really fix it, I drive round the problem at present but would like a cheap effective fix.

Most good speed shops should stock them. There are numerous places in Sydney.

From an independent US motorsport supplier...

The best and original coolers for motorsport, fitted as original equipment by most leading manufacturers, McLaren, Penske, Lotus etc.

Just bought one:) told me dimensions are 300 x 250 so not as huge as they look in the photos, besides a bit of extra oil never hurt anyone.

they use 3/4" banjo fittings (supplied) and the coolers are made by Serck;)

the guy told me that they are the same one Nismo use for their N1 models

Steve, Let me know how it goes, I plan on getting an oil cooler soon.

If you fit a fast acting oil pressure gauge you'll see that the RB25's suffer from oil surge just like the RB26's.

I think Sydneykid can modify the exisiting sump for extra capacity etc.

Paul, shall do, big cooler means extra oil volume too, cant hurt.

Brendan, definately will be fitting thermostat and remote filter, just need to fine some:) I am looking for a remote filter with thermostat, rather than inline sererate thermostat, but it is proving rather illusive. got quoted $20 per foot for braided 1/2" line from OG speed shop - going to have a look tomorrow.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
