After i've connected the cooler, i'm thinking of running it with the outlet into a bucket for a few seconds to flush it just in case. Is there any risk with doing that?

Will it flow in neutral or will it need to be in drive?

It will flow in neutral and FAST. 

Make sure you add some weight to the hose so it wont spit/fly everywhere, trust me, this is from experienced :). One crank/idle for 2-5 seconds and i could easily get around 0.5ltr or more out.

What colour is your ATF? If it is dark brown rather than bright red consider using the opportunity to change the fluid (which you cannot do by draining or dropping the sump). You may need 12L or so to do this.

I've just done the 4lts in the pan a couple of times, so it shouldn't be too bad but i havent checked in a while. I had assumed that pumping it all out would be risky for any running that occurred after the last of the fluid was out. Do you think pumping it all out would be safe?

What I do is pump out about 2L turn it off and add 2L down the dipstick and repeat until the fluid comes out clean.

Did that and it worked well. The fluid didnt look great so i pushed 8 litres through. Now crossing fingers to see if its enough to stop the overheating.

How easy is it to install a Trans cooler? I need to get one for mine.

Easy as. There is a tutorial in the DIY section above. Its for a C34 but much the same.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
