Hey there, just thought I'd put in a vid for you to all enjoy.....See below

Also, I want to get my skyline happy at track days and was looking at puting an oil cooler in. I know there are HKS etc but they are rather expensive, due to the name perhaps???

Anyway, I know you can get Serck coolers which a lot of racecars use or the aluminium Permacool 'Rocket' coolers and they both have a good rep and they are half the price of the japanese coolers. My question is do any of you have experience with these coolers and know what sort of size I need.

The Serck I looked at was a 19 or 25 row with 12 guage fittings.

My car has mild mods but will be drivern HARD so I don't want it to get hot and go bang. Power is 200kw at rears and over 800nm torque. Runs low 12's in street trim but set up for circuit, hence big torque, mild power.

Any help, thoughts would be greatly appreciated

James

I think location is more important then size. Sure fit as big a cooler as you can squeeze in there, but a 19 row oil cooler is as big as i could fit in the front guard of my car whilst still having reasonable air flow.

You can have a cooler for $250, $120-150 for fittings and then $100 for lines and you are in business. If you want a remote filter then that adds another 4 fittings plus more line so count on it costing another $250-300.

Try Star Performance in Five Dock NSW. I have found them to offer the best pricing on good quality gear like Serck coolers and Speedflow fittings.

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
