hi guys/girls

i know the oil cooler has been covered,

its colder down here in canberra so the cooler is not realy useful day to day, but i am hopeing to have some fun on the track and drifting days,

question is, is it worth while istalling for those days then taking it off till the next one? (maybe more so in summer)

dose anyone else do this, is it worth the effort?

just after opinions/ experiences...

na not really, more just to keep temps down/ cooler when flogging it..

specially summer..

but i been told they can cause more issues on a day to day drive..

so i thinking just fiiting it for the day/weekend keep oil cooler and engine safe while flogging it..

then removing it for driving round town,,

is there a way to install it so its fitted all the time but can switch it on for track day? (dont think that it made sense lol) i dont know the set up well enough to know if possible

I just purchased the Greddy Thermostatic sandwich plate that you are talking about from Greddy Australia website for $140 but it was the last one in stock in Australia and they said it may be a month or more till they restock it.

That's cheap for such a good product, I run a Grex one and have had no issues with it in 4 years. (I bought it S/H)

I have a brand new one here if anyone wants it, I was keeping it just in case, but this one has been very reliable.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
