I currently have a Nismo oil cooler setup on my engine which completely does away with the factory water/oil heater/cooler setup, and although it does a fantastic job of keeping the temperature cool under any conditions......it doesn't have a thermostat which means it takes ages for the temperature to come up to a nice useable 70deg+

I want to put an inline AN-12 Thermostat, but I'm not sure without pulling it apart which is the feed to the cooler, and which is the return to the engine?

Anyone know? :)post-73821-0-92526700-1430107063_thumb.jpg

If it's installed and running in the car, simply run it then use an IR pyrometer to measure the temperatures of the two hoses. The hotter one is out.

Mmm.....cunning plan! Nice thinking, cheers :)

From this picture showing the mounting flange of a NISMO cooler bracket this is the way i believe they flow.

Oil Pump Gallery>Bottom Line>Oil Cooler>Top Line>Filter>Main Gallery

EDIT!!

This picture shows the top (filter) flange, it clearly shown the top line returns to the input side of the filter (with the centre being the return to the main gallery).

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
