The Greddy one DOES have a thermostat?...

SPECIFICATIONS:

Application: Engine Side

Type: E (Standard Oil Cooler, Non-Relocation Type, Internal Thermostat)

Union: AN8, AN10, AN12

Center Bolt: 3/4x16UNF, M20xP1.5

A DIY cooler set up will cost less than or around $400.

$140 for Greddy Sandwich plate

$150-180 for 19 row Mocal cooler (I bought Mocal because its said that every cooler has been tested to hold 180psi before leaving factory)

$10 x 4 -10AN fittings from Torques UK

3m of black nylon braided hoses

The Greddy thermostat opens up fully at 80 degrees and I think slightly open before that. It is also been tried and tested by many and proven to be very good lol

Wow, do you realise how much easier you just made my life!?

Not sure about RB26, but for a RB25, i bought the 3/4x16UNF and seems to be able to run my exisiting oil filter.

:thumbsup: thanks for clarifying

and what's the general consensus on push lock fittings and hoses. some say they pop off and spill oil, kill motors blah blah blah.

i'm less for the blingy braided line and don't mind me some good ol rubber hose.

i would also use worm clamps to secure the ends if that makes any difference.

I suppose that's an alternative..I actually find using the speedflow fittings a little more daunting though cos I can't see how tight the hose actually is on the barb

Guess I'll be more careful during assembly

Cheers

Next project is to protect the back of the core from rocks from the front tyre.... And THEN try work out some ducting to get it some airflow as we ran it nice and high to keep it out of harms way.... I wanted to locate some of the vents that Andrew has in the front of his standard GTT bar but no luck so far! Looks like an aftermarket foglight surround or something but would be good as a small duct for airflow!

Yeah, how you going with that.....? :P

Mine works well.

Sitting on the freeway it's 70 water, 70 oil. Even after a flogging oil only gets up to 80 something.

Highest I have seen is about 105 after a 15 min track session.

Needs better ducting. But it's all tractor related, so I won't go into details.

Another tip. Run the black conduit over the top of braided lines to stop any rubbing on other parts.

If you want to run gauges make sure you order the adapters for them (Where the blanking plugs are in the image on my thread)

This is the problem I am having at the moment. Standard size gauge sensors are wayyyy to small for the GREX plate. I took the sensors (oil temp and oil pressure) to the dude at my local pirtek and he pretty much said that there is no adapters for them. I was like dafuq? Surely someone else out there is using a GREX plate with adapters in it to run to gauges?!

Any info on what thread sizes and adapter types would be awesome!

Why not mount it behind intercooler and in front of radiator? that way the grill between bonnet and front bar can give you airflow, yet protected?

Nah, there isnt much room there once the A/C fan setup goes back in.... I am going to run a Pwr Str cooler too so gotta find a location for it too!

Yeah, how you going with that.....? :P

Im workin on it :P

LOL YES!!! The adapters are further along in my build thread.... Page 30 somthing haha

The ones i used were 1/8npt or something like that! They look like the gold plugs with a sensor thread in them!

Greddy have them on the shelf and they are cheap!

It has always been recommended to me by the hose suppliers that with the 400 series barb fittings a secondary clamp (such as the cobra clamps that are designed specifically for these types of fittings) is used, on any hose that will see over 40psi or temps over 60 degrees. They are supposed to cope without one, but if there is any movement in the lines, it can lead to them becoming loose.

I can't see any AN10 to 1/8NPT adapters on there or am I just blind? They all seem to be not the right size.

Hope I'm just being retarded.

Keeping receipts for your car, great for warranty, not so great when you have to look at the dollar figures at the bottom of them :P

Also i found what you were talking about.

Only problem is that's the US site but i'll just email Greddy and they will be able to get me some. Cheers for the tip, i was stunned when the Pirtek dude told me he couldn't get an adapter. Won't be going back there.

Shit, i forgot too look :P

Check SpeedFlow as well, they have a new series of adapters like this as well, they don't seem to come up on the website, but their product code is 912-M18-02-BLK for a M18x1.5 and 1/8"NPT adapter.

Lot's of useful info in this thread! Thanks guys :D

Many aftermarket gauge sensors are 1/8PT so it's a little annoying that it doesn't come with the block.

I take it you'll need one for an oil pressure gauge too, which are also commonly 1/8PT for defi gauges and alike?

Yeah actually i got one of these in black for my radiator...

Yep i run one for pressure and temp! Work well so far :)

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
