so i am looking at getting one of these: http://www.240sxmotoring.com/groilcoadw.html

and an ebay oil cooler kit

the thing i want to double check and this is probably a retarded question but i am asking it because i remember vaguely reading this somewhere on here: when the thermostat is closed on that, the oil doesn't skip the oil filter does it? it doesn't seem possible as the oil should initially come straight through the center large hole and into the filter and then from there gets sent back into the engine or through the cooler depending on the temperature.

it seems straight forward but i am just being paranoid

thx

Parinoid.

Its one of the best setups on the market, don't skimp on the cooler though, go as big as you can.

I got my dash 12 lines and fittings from Torques (UK) on egay. Great quality and prices.

I have the remote mount version of the Greddy thermostat and one of Vulture motorsports cooler kits. Flawless thus far. The thermostat can't bypass the oil filter, it only changes the flow of oil through the cooler as it heats/cools.

I'm not %100 about the one you're looking at, but on mine there is a spring loaded pressure relief valve that will bypass the oil filter, but only on the condition that NOT bypassing it would stop oil flow to the engine (ie. badly blocked filter). Hope that clears things up.

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
