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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
