quality fittings and hoses.

you can use a cheap core if you want... as long as the fitting and hoses are A1

personally i'd just go for a non thermo one on a predominantly track car, makes oil changes easier and you wont be driving it round cold like a daily

ok so oil cooler kits, what should I be looking for?

what should I be avoiding?

bout time I started modding the car again..

Pretty much what Hamish said

I had a chat to Trent about it a few weeks ago and he said just becareful of shitty designed cooler cores. As he was using a core than ran 10c hotter than the one he has now.

It saying that Trent runs a el cheapo $80 one lol. This is the one that works

I have your cooler hoses, fittings and that Greddy thermostat adapter here Tony, when are you going to buy that super oil cooler core you are raving about? :P

Track days coming.... ;)

I thought you were sourcing my Cooler core lol

How long you need the car for?

I was thinking about entering Calder.....but a bit low on funds and time atm :(

Toby, take your car to calder drags I wanna see the beast in action!

Are you taking your car there?

Can't say I've ever been keen to go to a drag day

Maybe if SAU VIC organises one this year ill go

Wasn't planning on it, but if you go down I'll come watch / maybe enter cos its cheap as chips anyway.

Will be throwing a twin 3" cat back exhaust on my car soon :D dat v8 burble brah

SAU had one at heathcote 2 years ago haven't had once since I think :( it was forum battle or something, won fastest ford trophy :D

yeah drags are pretty fun, trying to squeeze that extra .1sec out always a challenge and the adrenaline pumps hard when you're racing or about to launch

really cheap compared to track days, and no need for racing licenses which is a bonus

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
