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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Absolutely could be. I collected data logs from when the O2 sensor was still out and also after I had replaced it so will try to compare them. Pretty confident that the affect is lowered with the new sensor, will check logs at the same RPMs/conditions.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
