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

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
