hey all,

i got a oil cooler installed on my r32 gtr it was put in before i brought it, it looks like a 7bar one or so, Prob is its put it the stupidest spot as far as i can see it wont really work that well,

They put it in the passanger side of the front bar where the cooler pipe gose down to the cooler, and its on a dirty angle than they cut a small hole in the plastic in the wheel well to get the air to flow,

i really dont like it, so i wanner move it to a better spot, and im asking where you guys have your coolers mounted, yes i have A/C so it dose take alil bit of room up in behide the front grill. Its hard to find a decent spot for it,

Any Ideas??? Or Pics of where u have it??

Cheers Deano

actually....not a bad spot really!

everything in front of the radiator is bad.....cooling is marginal in these cars, then we put air con and huge intercoolers in front of it making it worse.

the driver and passenger inner guard have good airflow in and out, and as long as it is ducted to the front bar there is nowhere for the air to go except through the cooler

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
