I'll take it!!!!!! Is it the big or small one?

Guys one of the guys has asked for a refund (which is completely understandable) however due to the cost of these, I simply can't afford to refund out of my own pocket. So if some one doesn't mind waiting to see this through they can take his spot. Otherwise I'll have to hit up Hel for a refund.

No reply back from Speedflow so I think i'm going to have to call them on Monday.

Three oil coolers got sent out to guys that didn't mind having the blue and red fittings and I have messaged them their tracking numbers.

Hel are still trying to speed things up on their end but so far no good news there.

None of the fittings are on the lines. This allows every one to cut the line to length that they require so you don't have excessively long lines.

I always thought that the fittings would be seperate (like in the photos). It wasn't until the f*ck up with the red and blue fittings that I thought that they may have attached them, however they hadn't. They just ment they were in the box (And thank god, because I really didn't want to be removing fittings and refitting new ones).

The guys that have theirs arriving (there are three of them) all have red and blue fittings. They didn't want to wait any longer so I got theirs sent out.

For the time being there has been no progress with getting any fittings so looks like we are just going to have to wait until Hel get them. I'm emailing with them every few days to check the progress but for the mean time all we can do is wait.

Hope that clears things up a little bit.

That's ok, my bad for assuming they would be connected... Actually a better idea being able to cut to length :)

Are we not meant to have 2 metal brackets for the oil cooler, I just looked at the photos and saw 2, mine only came with one haha

Yeah I like the idea of being able to cut the hose to length (even though I hate putting fittings onto braided lines lol. Always end up getting cut up!)

It's only one bracket I got told, not sure why there is a picture of two in that first pic.

How hard would the fittings be to fit Phil?

It's not that bad. Some people have no problems with it. I usually struggle with small braided lines, but the bigger ones usually are fine.

In the DIY I write up, i'll put up a couple of Youtube links that helped me learn a couple of tricks to putting fittings on.

yep i received mine today also... very good quality, happy with it...

Just a quick question, simon did yours come with 2 lines or one? are we suppose to cut the 1 line in half to make 2 lines or something, because i've only got 1 line?

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
