hey has anyone mounted their oil cooler to their front mount? my braided lines were cut too short by previous owners to move anywhere else and I cant afford new lines. I went for a drive after fitting it and it obviuosly heats up my front mount but only the half its on. Do you think will be an issue in the long run? My car currently will sit on 80C standard drivng on the streets or drifitng.should i be worried for it to increase alot? I also have a 16" spal fan for extra cooling

Surely you have enough lines to accommodate some standoffs so that there is at least a small gap between the oil cooler and the fmic. If your lines are that long will the oil cooler not fit in the rf guard?

sounds more like you thought that was the easiest place for you to mount it cause your using cable ties through your FMIC...

Am I right?

I just LOL'd :laugh:

On a more serious note, what does water temp have to do with intake temp if the oil cooler is against a FMIC? Should be worrying about that and not water temp

Yeah oil cooler, usually hot, trying to transfer heat out of the oil into the air.

intercooler trying to stay cool to ''cool' the intake air...

wait your solution is to put a heater on your cooler...

just think about that one for a sec...

But as long as your water temp is fine, nothing to worry about???

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
