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).

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
