Oil cooler kit - Suit GTR and GTST/GTT

[Daz]

lmao

[xfixiate]

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

Yep, already got the mesh sorted..

Here are the pics (finally):

PS: those mounts are solid . 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.

[Downforce]

That's a nice clean install Al, considering the space constraints you had to work with! Those mounts definitely look chunky

[Guest RedLineGTR]

very nice install

[Al]

Thanks

Installed mine is same position as GTTR34 and after 4-5 flat chat lap sessions at sandown yesterday oil temp stayed around 90 degrees.

Does the oil cooler kit come with a thermostat?

nope, dont really need one

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 get the sandwich plate/kit to suit an S15 SR20?

[Scotsman]

Shouldn't be a problem mate.. This kit is pretty universal anyway.

[Nightcrawler]

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!!!

[Nozila]

I'd be in for an oil cooler for the sr20 if the 20% discount applies.

[Scotsman]

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.

[Nightcrawler]

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?
