For a DECENT transcooler you'd be looking at $800 upwards.

I have one of the autobarn/bursons ones, and it does SFA.

There was a thread around last week or the week before either in GA or GM with some nice kits, i'll see if i can find it.

cool thanks k.

yeah well i want a decent one...

the only mods im doing to the ceffy are to maintain the parts and cause less ware...

it has an oil cooler and an aftermarket radiator from what i can see in the pics...

i want a trans cooler and oil filter moval kit...

basically things to keep it healthy

lets think about this, right...

its just a trans cooler. an HKS logo isn't going change the way the cooler dissipates heat. it still functions to cool the heat even though its cheap... its not like we are talkign about pressure or flow issues like in an intercooler...

and all trans coolers increase the oil capacity of the trannie anyway which is a good thing in itself

the only reason i would get a more expensive one is to include a thermostat (which mine doesn't have) to let it reach operating temp that little bit quicker

up to you anyway

let us know how you go

Waz.

construction, design and build quality all play a part... it doesnt have to eb name brand it just has to do its job effectively and properly.

its like thinking those $80 oil catch cans (or even those more expensive HKS and GREDDY ones) work as well as those ones that whistlas mate made...

plus with the punishment this thing is going to be under it needs to be able to cool it well.

Ni, have you looked at the group buy of Oil Coolers that Adam and Chris are doing, maybe contact Meridian Motorsport and see if they sell the kit. I assume a trans kit may be cheaper due to the physical size, etc.

I went to their workshop yesterday and was very impressed with their service and products. They realy know their stuff, and have shown interest in supporting motorsport clubs. Andrew also bought his oil cooler from there. Mention that you are from SAU.

*delete* *DELETE*

lol

my bad... i thought seeing as u can get them for autos u should be able to get them for manuals to prolong its life.... obviously not :)

gees my typing was good last night... bloody beer goggles

You can get them for manuals too but I would assume it would be overkill. You only ever see a manual box oil cooler on a BIG HP engine. As well as diff oil coolers.

On a side note, R31 Rocket and SKY031 said they had cheap ones but commented that they were crap.

I would like to know how you came to the conclusion they were not suitable? If the cooler has a good stream of airflow and the trans fluid temp drops then you would think it is doing its job. What signs alerted you that it was an inferior product?

Besides that it probably didnt include a thermostat. Or is that the problem? That on short trips the trans fluid was too COLD?

couldnt really tell you what HP or torque it would be needed if in fact it is ever needed.

The only time I have seen a manual box cooler and diff cooler has been on a no expense spared dedicated circuit or strip car.

In other words, never on a street car.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
