Whatever you do dont buy a cheap e-bay one like I did with anodized hose fittings that last a couple of weeks before breaking dumping oil everywhere. Then cost a fortune to replace as they are some crazy sise. I am getting too old and CHEAP. Buy a brand name one like GREDDY and save all the hassels.

you wont need an oil cooer if you have no plans on hitting a track..

it will just be another thing that can go wrong.

although if u are, i have a justjap 34 row and i got some custom braided lines made up at pirtek and used a Earls billet sandwich plate.

last time i was at EC my oil temps didnt go above 120

i chose the cooler + thermo stat as i do a hell of a lot of track drifting + circut. thermostat was a nec as i also drive on the street and its freezing here in the adelaide hills so i dont want to over cool the oil.

How does a thermostat help to keep your oil warm?

I agree, a thermostat is a prerequisite for an oil cooler. If you don't have one the motor will take ages to get up to operating temperature.

If i have an unknown brand aftermarket radiator on my R34GTT, will the Nismo thermostat fit?

As i have an GREDDY Oil cooler as well.

You're way off track mate, We're talking about OIL thermostats not water thermostats, And the nismo waster thermostat should fit no worries.

LOL, thought something was wrong.

I may need to source one of these then.

Wouldn't happen to have the part no. on you by any chance?

    • 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
