Can anyone tell me if the Nismo oil cooler has a thermostat? [mention=137648]baicai[/mention] do you have one fitted to yours? I'm wondering if there is any issue with over cooling the oil in normal driving situations.

Nismo oil cooler does not have a thermostat, no issue with over cooling, only issue is you have to warm up the car for at least 5 mins before driving.

What happens if you just start it and drive it? Takes to long to come up to temperate you think?

I am not a big fan of letting cars warm up by having them sit there and idle. I also can not be stuffed with it either. If i cant just start it up and drive it then id rather buy a hks unit with the thermostat and an extra 2 rows on the oil cooler itself.

Any cooler regardless of brand that doesn't have a heat exchanger like the stock one has the potential to overcool the oil if it doesn't have a thermostat. Some people just cover the cooler in Winter. On the other hand any car can be driven away from cold (I never idle cars for any length of time if I can help it) so long as you don't cane them before they get up to optimum operating temperature. Driving them is the quickest way to achieve this.

Would it be a waste to use oil cooler for a street car? I can imagine it being really useful in the track as you're doing wot most times... doh...

Yep, not required for Street use. I even have mine covered at the track unless it's a hot day.

Thought i had posted here but it appears not.... the Headrest on the interior has since been fixed as has the horn button been straightened haha, was a quick snap when instaling. Still restoring the foot rest.

Is that also the NISMO pedal kit? Looks like you have installed them over the top of the standard rubber pedals?  I have a set that I am yet to install and am wondering if this is the correct way.

Yep that's them, you drill into the metal for the clutch and brake pedal leave the rubber for the accelerator. Since they were not specifically designed for the 32. Alternatively you could buy a set of 34 pedals to suit.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
