Hi, was looking for some advice/opinions. Ive researched and had a read up on oil coolers and LSD for my car.

Car is R33 GTS-t S2 soon to be around 300rwkw. Driven maybe twice a month and a few track days per year.

Oil cooler - I see a few guys had done their own and cost $3-400. (quite like the article http://www.trak-life.com/diy-r33-skyline-oil-cooler-with-thermostat/)

I was looking at the Trust / Greddy 13 row oil cooler kit at $586 from RHD.

http://www.rhdjapan.com/trust-greddy-standard-oil-cooler-kit-ecr33-rb25det.html

or possibly the 19 row Mishimoto universal oil cooler

http://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/Mishimoto-19-Row-Universal-Oil-Cooler-kit-Black.html.

Any problems in hooking up a oil temp and oil pressure gauge up to the sandwich plate ? Both have a thermostat ?

Onto LSD now, I was thinking of going a Nismo GT LSD 1.5 way (over a 2 way)

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nismo-gt-lsd-nissan-s13-silvia-180sx-r32-r33-z32-a31-c33.html

RHD also stock Kaaz, Tomei, Cusco, OS Giken and ATS carbon

Any advice on this purchase and anything else I should consider ? Buy at RHD or somewhere else ? Any future probs I might have or important things to know with the install and oil temp and oil pressure gauge install ?

thanks

I've actually been looking at both these items for purchase soon.,,

I'm leaning towards getting the Greddy Type E Sandwich plate (Thermostat and 2 Sensor Ports, RHDJapan seems to be good for this), a cheap 19 row core such as mishimoto/coolingpro and aeroflow/speedflow lines and fittings.. It seems that price of all 'kits' are heavily inflated and it's cheaper buying separately.

As for the LSD it seems the Nismo GT LSD 1.5 way is popular and probably for a reason, still need to look into it and will be following this thread :)

Nismo claims that the 2 way "carbon" LSD is actually better than the 1.5 for circuit and street use.

"This LSD's operation was perfected to deliver the maximum grip needed for circuit racing. It will give you superior traction whatever the tire or road conditions."

and

"The great stability of the GT L.S.D. Pro Carbon <2-WAY> also makes it ideal for normal street use, where road conditions can be poor and where too powerful an LSD can actually reduce efficiency. Compared to the GT L.S.D. and the GT L.S.D. Pro, this is the best choice for street use."

I got my oil cooler yesterday. Bought from a SAU trader. Will change the sandwhich plate to a thermo item.

As for LSD, am still researching, but most likely a Nismo 1.5 from Jesse is what Im heading towards...

Nismo GT is great, allows you to adjust the torque by popping out the RHS Axel stub.

I used the non GT version before and it was great and npw on a KAAZ 2 way which I find pretty aggressive compared to the Nismo.

Then again the nismo was worn (used diff)

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
