Let us know with pics how the install goes.

I'm up for an oil cooler but don't want to spend a fortune. ;)

With the catch can. Have you opened it up and shoved stainless steel wool in it? An open empty catch can doesn't do much.

i reckon going cheap on an oil cooler is a huuugee risk, and china branded stuff isnt always top quality as u might know, and imagine poping an end tank off the oil cooler or blowing a line off, and your engine = f*kt

id rather no oil cooler than one that could be made by some dodgy chinaman who earns 2c a week, somehow i dont think they give 2 shits about quality control :D

each to their own, and no i havent seen them fail personally but ive been warned by plenty of people to stay well away from china oil cooler setups.

cheers

there is alot of hear say, mainly from people who sell main stream expensive aussie made stuff!! but hell i tell you what, australian workers dont care much for quality control either!

but yeh back to my point plazmaman racing dood who cruises around in wetherill park was trying to sell a friend a 700hp kit for his car for 1700!! while warning him off cheap front mounts frm just jap because they melt! FTW my fmic is gonna melt!, btw looking at the oil cooler it's very well made check on out yourself they usually sell for $350 but give cheaper to sau members

This just goes to show why you shouldnt repeat things you know nothing about. Do you know that the hybrid style coolers ie those from Just Jap and other companies have been running for years on cars with more than 400kw at the wheels? and guess what, they didnt melt!

If, and I say if there is any truth to your claims about what Plazmaman has been saying, their comments are completely unfounded and are nothing by trash talk to up their own sales :laugh:

It happened to me just the other day, i stopped at lights, saw steaming from the front of the car, and my intercooler was dripping its molten alloy onto the highway and seconds later I had a cop dressed in black at my window asking me where he could find John Connor.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
