Rb26 Factory Oil Cooler

[UnCo]

Hi everyone, I'm in need of a replacement factory oil cooler for RB26.

Does anyone know where to source it from and how much they are?

You can get them from nissan, but i would piss it off and fit an external one with a thermostat. The stockers are a common point of failure

stagea one is better. no cooler or should i say warmer... ideal for a relocator conversion. but the new ones are all aluminuim. early ones (one of a motor) has a steel thread.

or if you want a rb20 one is better again. but straight out of the block, not angled. new ones have a steel thread. but you have to use a toyota filter (z418) or any with a relief valve in it)

I have several laying around my shed you can have one for free if you are going to use one. They are pretty useless and you would be better off with a relocation kit and aftermarket oil cooler but as i said if you do want to use a factory one you can have one for free just pay the freight or if you are on the gold coast or brissy area just pm me and you can pick one up.

jJust to clarify when you guys say to get rid of it and fit a relocator and external cooler dont they replace just the filter and is there a housing off a different rb that still has both the pressure and temp fittings? I there any kind of aftermarket cooler that replaces just the heat exchanger part and leaves all the other bits exactly the same? Obviously you would have to jump the coolant line back into itself.

Not factory, the factory oil cooler (oil/water heat exchanger is a more accurate description of it's function) is as what the the picture suggests, attached to the block.

It could be a "factory" nismo oil cooler? Dont they put them in the passenger guard?

Oil cooler kits found on the passenger side behind the front bumper are aftermarket ones.

The oil cooler shown above is as much an oil warmer as anything. It does very little to keep the oil cool. It is not uncommon for the part to fail also.

So the question is - is there an aftermarket part that replaces the oil cooler bracket in the diagram at the top and removes the oil cooler/warmer as fitted by Nissan?

[gotRICE?]

Yeah i hear ya,

but what i mean is, alot of the Nismo equipment is offered on a new purchase.. so essentially its a"factory"option. Note the quotations.

And i dont believe there is a bolt on replacement for the factory oil warmer/cooler.

The RB20 doesn't have the factory oil warmer, so the taking the mount from it (housing, bracket? im not sure what the name of it is) is popular when you have an A/M oil cooler.

Hmmm, can't find the bracket on their web pages. Plenty of other stuff, just no bracketry.

how do they fail?

$120 fron nissan for a rb20 one.

unbolt your oil cooler/filter housing and bolt the 20 one in its place. use a z418 filter, not the genuine nissan 145 as you no longer have a relief valve.

(rb20 has it on the block, where as rb25/26 has that part blocked off and instead has them in the oil cooler/filter housing)

if you are using a remote filter, put the oil pressure sensor in it there, and lengthen the wiring to it. if not then use the 1/8 npt port to the rear of where the filter/cooler housing bolts on to the engine. (at about cylinder 5 along the block)

nismo has a replacement housing, but its like $1000. it has 2 -12an fittings where the cooler sits.

also nismo has a oil cooler kit, said housing, with a custom aircon condensor with a 25 row oil cooler integrated into it. i have one in my garage. i had the brocher for it but i lost it. was an option for the aussie deliverd ones.
