Hey guys, installing a oil cooler and relocation kit

Looking at mounting the cooler in front of the radiatorbut there are 2 lines(backed on itself )in the way.

Ive traced one end back to the power steering fluid resovoir but unsure of where the other side ends, i assume its some sort ot cooler ( pictures attached )

So my question is can i get a relocation kit for this and any other preferable mounting positiongs for the cooler, i cant see where the mount is possible behind the front bar left or right side.

Cheers, kind regards

Have you um checked anyone else's setups?

Majority of setups are where these lines are or under the front bar infront of the air ducts on the left or right side

Does anyone know if you can get a relocation kit for the power steering lines as i am unable to find

Cheers

Yes it's for R33 but pretty much all the possible oil cooler location options are documented in this thread: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79130-r33-oil-cooler-installation/

I read it top to bottom before installing mine, great info.

Ideally you'd want your oil cooler under left or right headlight behind the front bar so it's not in line with intercooler, A/C core and radiator.

However depending on the size of your oil cooler core this may not be possible, especially presuming you have IC piping running on both sides since it's a GT-R.

hey mate, yeah isnt a whole lot of room with the IC piping, cheers for that link i had a read, and ill have another look for potential spots tommorow.

thinking of relocating the power steering lines to fit the it infront of the ac core. not ideal spot but im not sure it will fit under the head lights.

regards

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
