Just wondering if there is a recommend reliable oil cooler setup that is tried and tested for a 26, even it costs a little more? Given our dollar, a Japanese or even American unit would be reasonable I imagine?

The trust setup comes with a BNR32 arrangement: http://www.nengun.com/trust-greddy/oil-coo...andard-location

Or perhaps the PWR core with some custom lines: http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category82_1.htm

yep the GTR Trust kit that mounts in the passenger side guard is tried and proven. they are a great kit and come with a little alloy duct and you need to cut holes in the plastic guard liner that's behind it to allow air to flow through the core, not just up to it and then around it. with the alloy duct and an air exit path they work very, very well. mounting one behind the intercooler etc is much less effective. getting them good clean airflow is half the battle. and the trust kit comes with the right brackets, duct, right length lines, good core, and nice filter mounts. it's expensive but worth every cent. I've used them now on a number of my GTRs. and the good thing is if you later need a bigger core you can squeeze a bigger core into that same spot and retain the rest of the kit. just a new earls or mocal core with more 'row's and dash 10 fittings and you'll be in business.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
