If I was you I'd be putting a piece of mesh in front of that oil cooler. One decent rock.....

Anyone had any joy with an R32 GTR fitting yet (Cooler only). with the HICAS pump (?) near the filter fitting I think it's going to be almost impossible to get on an early R32 GTR. Took me twenty minutes to get the filter on (and another 15 minutes of cursing for not fitting a remote kit at the time)

Had mine fitted, it was apparently a cow of a job.

Mine's an early with the pump.

There was feck all room for the cooler in the front bar too... will get some pics tonight.

The sandwhich plate was the worst part... the remote is on the front crossmember on the driver's side

PS: those mounts are solid :P. I could grab the cooler with both hands and the car moves b4 the cooler does.

As stated earlier, 1/3 of core is exposed to direct air, 2/3 gets "2nd hand" air flow behind the ic.

Quick question to those that have digital temperature readouts (ie: Apexi Pfc, Wolf, etc.)

When you installed the oil cooler, did the WATER temp go down?

Cant say mine really did, water temp was around 80 degrees all day on the track for me.

The oil cooler should in theory using laws of physics keep water temp down since you are cooling the oil which is circulating around the same area.

Can you please find out if u can definitely get the kit to suit an S15/SR20? If so I want to order one please. I guess we need 4 more people to join in order to get the 20% discount? Cmon people!!! These kits are cheap as chips, and they massively increase the life span of both your oil AND your engine!!!

20% Discount will still apply for SAU. Toby says SR20 has the same oil filter thread as the skyline, so the same sandwich plate will fit the SR20.

Also might be worth one of you measuring the hose length from your current oil filter to your mounting point, just to make sure we dont fall short on the hose length. Garden hose is good for this.

From sight it looks like the distance is identical. I had alook at a mate's R33 as he has his oil cooler in the guard. Looks very similar to mine. I will try to get my S15 on a hoist and double check. I take it the hose comes as one long length and you cut to suit and attach the end nuts? Can you get a 3m length of braided line just in case?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • 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>
