Hi,

Need some advice please on oil cooler install for r33gts-t. I went and bought a Trust kit, but in the instructions it says to mount it in front of the radiator. Most guys on here mount their oil coolers in the drivers side wheel arch so I tried to do that.

Compared to a few pics on here i saw, i think my oil cooler might be a bit wider and longer than most ? Anyway, I thought i had a good spot mounted but then had problems with the clearance at the top for the hoses to connect to. My kit came with 45's, I could go and get them changed for 90's but I am still not sure if i would have enough clearance ?

I quite like the current location, if i drop the oil cooler lower or back close to the tyre, it is going to hit/rub against the bottom of front spoiler and that metal hook underneath the car ? At the moment I have about a finger width between the cooler and hook.... Also with the bottom bracket, I couldn't drill through the bracket so I had to chuck in a couple of nuts

Suggestions / advice please ?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
