I have given up on trying to re-locate the factory tranny cooler and instead am going to get the 6 cyl PWR one.

My only reservation is its a LOT thinner than the factory cooler, granted you do get a larger surface area!

I have had some good feedback about where to mount the new tranny cooler etc but was just more wondering about the thickness of the PWR cooler. Should it suffice? the car does not have a tow bar ( hence no towing ) and very rarely is fully laden.

Is it any bigger than the stock S2 one? I had one on my S1 ( the biggest one) and it was fine but I thought the S2 one was about the same. Just buy some more hose and you can put it anywhere you like!

I have the PWR 6cyl trans cooler on my M35.

The gear changes are a bit snappier compared to without it, particularly in the Summer.

I have mine mounted just behind my grill.... constant airflow and seems to work well.

I am ok with the Price of the PWR one , thats no so much of an issue. I am more worried about the thickness compared to the factory one.

And the factory one has F#$ked mountings so I am just giving up on trying to relocate that. I have looked and looked and I did really give it a try , but yeah. giving up on that idea sorry!

get one from an ef foulcan they are pretty much identical to the pwr ones at a fraction of the price i have used them on many cars

From what I understand the S1 cooler is much smaller than the s2. The s2 one is smaller area wise than the PWR 6cyl one but much more thick. the PWR one is maybe 40-50 % bigger again area wise, but as I said only 19mm thick. Perhaps this is all that is needed?

Do you think the 6 will suffice?

Ok guys and gals. Please note that these coolers are supposed to be supplimental to the existing oil cooler, not a replacement cooler. So take note that you cant replace the factory cooler with one of these units.
Sure you can replace the factory cooler with the PWR. If you add it to the original one it will supplement the cooling effect but that's not what you are looking for - you just want to relocate it and it makes no difference whether you place the original cooler in a new position or put an equivalent unit there. Use the PWR - IT WILL BE OK!!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
