Dude, that's sick! doubles as a strut brace by the looks of it! I wonder if it lacks strength because it has hollow cavities for oil cooling?

Imagine taking a tight corner, putting stress on the strut towers and then it cracks, pissing oil all over the top of your engine hahah

yeah it's just an oil/water heat exchanger. to make the most of it you'd need a larger than standard radiator or a second smaller radiator to cool the coolant flowing through it. they just chose to make it look fancy and mount it on the strut brace. no way would you buy it for $1000.

for similar money PWR will make you a GTR radiator which is twin pass and has an oil cooler/heat exchanger built into it. used on may serious track cars. very effective in that they also help bring oil up to temp and then keep it stabilised at operating temp. so then you're getting a better radiator AND the oil cooler for the same money.

Spot on!! :P

forgot to mention that it looks to me to be a laminova type core. they make special cores for turbo engine pipework and also make sealed oil/water heat exchangers/stabilisers. very interesting type of core and apparently quite efficient.

What diameter pipes do they use? I had thought of getting a filter relocating kit and running it through the heat exchanger in my auto radiator (have converted to manual). Then if I need a bigger radiator at that point I could add a proper oil cooler and thermostat.

Anyone have the yahoo link?

http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j94861066

i found it again, looks like it didn't sell at the price of 89,000yen so the started the auction again at a starting price of 1yen with no reserve.

pretty cheap atm, about the same cost as a strut brace might bid of it for some giggles

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
