Recommended Oil Cooler For R32 Gtr?

[Rob_32_VSPEC]

Ok ....yes I have searched first, which has helped a little, but not so much with the PRE-PURCHASE SELECTION of preferred brands / models / sizes etc. As such I'm really keen to hear from R32 owners with fitted oil coolers.

I'd appreciate advice with;

* recommended brands / models

* row size (No doubt bigger the better but how many rows or width is too big limiting install locations?)

* thermostat versions (hype or value)

best fitting location of both

* the cooler

* remoted filter

* filter point up or down? (would image down, but seen others here point up)

I guess my preference for the cooler location would be in the front bar at the driver's side vents (space permitting??) Any brands standard allow for this?

Do any or all brands have a tank plug on the cooler for draining?

I apologise in advance if these are stupid questions...or if asked a 1,000 times b4. I'll accept links for answers as well.

I'm just lost for choice atm and looking for unbiased recommendations. Thanks guys.

I just fitted a HKS oil cooler on my r32 GTR with no remote filter , u won`t be able to mount it on the drivers side as there is no room , this kit u run the lines under the engine and mount the cooler at the passenger side vent..........have a look in the group buy some fellow had a thing going they looked good

Behind the driver's side vent are your recirc valves.

Didn't the N1 GTRs have the oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator, just next to the horns?

with a sutable amount of cutting around the drivers side vent i was able to fit my oil cooler in, i will take some photos. Tight fit but seems to work well, witht he earls thermostat oil stays dead on 80 deg celsious according to the factory gauge.
