Hi guys I recently purchased a oil cooler kit from xxxxx, wanting a 19 row cooler for my R33.

It finally arrives and it's a 10 row cooler. How much worse is this going to be for my car? Can I still use it? It'd take ages to send back to Japan and recieve a new one that is 19 row. The car is a series 1 GTS-T running a garret 3071R and all supporting mods. Any insights on this problem would be great thanks guys.

Cheers Steve

It depends on your car, your engine setup, how often you punish/trackday your car etc.

I use a Trust 10 row kit on my GTR producing 500awhp and its fine.

Steve,

Any price difference or is it the same?

How much all together delivered?

I need one!

But I'll be using standard turbo - I just dont want to punish the car too much at the track

Blitz, thanks mate for the info, that's what I needed to know, I've actually gone and decided to get just the oil cooler core from justjap in 19 row for $100 and just cut my losses on the other one, so if you want a spare... :)

Chris, pm me and I'll tell you who NOT to buy it from incase it happens to you as well, ordering the right one and receiving something smaller LOL. To answer your question a oil cooler and filter relocation kit cost me $380 delivered.

Unless you are doing the work yourself the pricy part of an oil cooler is getting it installed. I'm running a 19 row from Just Jap and it cost a fair bit to get it put in. Awesome job and I'll post up pics in the DIY thread.

I'm running a stock (GTR) oil pump and had it out on the track for the first time Wed. It oil temp was barely over street driving levels.

if the cooler you have now is the trust one, i personally would not be swapping it for a just jap one. either just use your 10row one, or ask for the 19row to be sent and send the 10row back.

The cooler I have now is not a Trust one as far as I know, it's a universal one from a well known trader on here(not slide)

We are doing the installation ourselves and so I'm not worried about costs in that regard, so yeah I might just buy a universal 19 row core. Thanks for all the info and suggestions guys.

Hi Steve,

Id like to apologise for the mix-up with your order and any inconvenience caused.

We accidently sent you the 11 row cooler by mistake and I have aranged for a 19 row cooler to be sent to you.

You should have it within the next few days.

I have sent you a PM with further details.

Regards,

Paul.

Hey guys.. sorry for veering the discussion a bit off topic but i was after a bit of help. the picture above shows what i have sitting in the garage ready to go into a r32 gts-t running a 2871r w/ upgraded fuel pump and necessary mods..

I was under the impression that when relocating your oil filter you needed a sandwich place as well as a relocation plate (which your oil filter will eventually plug into). I have been provided with the sandwich plate.. now is this just a spacer which allows for sender units and braided hoses (pictured above) to be installed? essentially keeping the oil filter in the same location (give or take 15mm)..? or am i missing a chunk of metal?

sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am a noobie..

cheers, tushar

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
