Can anyone tell me about OAT technology coolant? Not sure if it is a BRAND or a TYPE of coolant as I found some reference to Organic Acid Technology TYPE coolants on the net... anyone here have some experience with them? Apparently its a non-glycol... all the coolants we have at work are a glycol - either ethylene or propylene glycol - which I understood was a good thing, right?

The reason I asked is the workshop I got my service done at put that coolant in and I was wondering where, besides sourcing it from them, I could get it from..

Yeh I haven't heard anything about it either, apart from the small amount I found on the net which I'm not sure if it was meaning the same stuff. I think I'll just get it all flushed with my 100k service, Its doing its job tho, can't be farked flushing it myself atm..

Well just so you guys are warned - I asked a radiator mob about the coolant, they said that it is an Organic Acid and that was the brand name, It had also done some damage to my radiator, namely eating the rubber seals for the end tanks and causing it to leak :P ... I also had another problem with the radiator - that being the core was corroded from the inside out :) , I don;t know if they coolant and this problem are related but I can safely say I won't be using that coolant again.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
