Inark,

If it's just the fins that are dented then it shouldn't be a problem. Just grab yourself some long nose pliers and straighten them out as much as you can, to allow the air to flow through.

If you don't put mesh infront of the cooler when you fit it you will get that happening all the time from rocks and other crap on the road.

Cheers

Compared to that, mine is an absolute mess but still holds pressure no problems...

Had coloured smoke pumped through it and none came out so it;s all good. The fins are made of super soft metal that oftens snaps off when straightening so b careful. I broke heaps of mine but it still works so don't stress too much.

Adrian.

nice carpet.:P

lmao... thats one of the couches in the kitchen :D

oh well thats ok then... i'll get it tested this week then... time to get some piping made up :)

Morgs -

the cooler itself cost me $70AUD but the postage cost 32000yen which is a bit of a killer... Mark had it in his garage for 6 months for me til i could pay for the shipping but had to clear some room so sent it anyway. Hes a good bloke to deal with. He sent it on the 25th and it got here today, the 30th

Yes all R32/33 GTR coolers are painted black stock. The 34's are polished however so are silver. Yes the front has been cleaned on that one. The black doesn't affect the cooling.

Light damage on the cooler doesn't matter as long as most of it is in tact. The fins aren't as improtant as the tubes so make sure the tubes have no punctures. Mine is similar but has a few squashed fins.... will be u for sale soon if anyone is itnereted.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
