Recently purchased a Trust/greddy Oil Cooler Kit (with builtin thermostat) no oil filter relocation for r33 gts25t

< Does anyone have a greddy oil cooler kit installed on their r33 gts25t? >

Now in my attempt to install the kit i can't figure out which side of the sandwich plate (left or right) in the first pic (front) flows OIL to the oil cooler and from the oil cooler back to the sandwich plate.

The instructions that came with it wasn't very useful being in japanese and the pics/diagrams don't help.

(Is it the left or right that goes to the top of the oil cooler core?)

Opposite side of the sandwich plate that goes against the engine block

Managed to get the Greddy Oil Cooler kit on my r33gtst over the weekend and the car survived a wakefield trackday without leaking.

I was wondering what route and how does everyone run the braided hoses on greddy oil cooler kits(located in front of radiator behind fmic) from the sandwich plate to the core? (RB20/25DET's) because right now its a VERY VERY tight fit..

I'm worried next time if i spin off the track the hoses gets pulled a little (since its hanging low and tight) it my rip off my oil cooler connection to the core and oil everywhere) - its slightly bent now

Right now i'm running the hoses down to the area where the front tow hook is back up behind my fmic and in front of the radiator to the oil cooler. (are others drilling an additional hole for the hoses to run through to front like they did for the fmic piping?)

will post up pics tonight

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
