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?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
