i have an r33 gtr what oil cooler should i be looking at, how many rows and whats the difference? i dont know much about it just got told i should get one and it would help my engine life alot more. so any suggestions guys?

hey dude,

You will only need one if your considering thrashing the GTr at mallala, or you drive it hard in the hills on 30+degree days.

There are many oil coolers out there, ebay ones to jap ones.

Personally id buy nothing but the Jap ones, either HKS, Greddy etc.

Other wise you dont really need one the oil stays pretty cool in the GTR's until you start pushing hard all day or doing constant high speeds.

is there much difference between the no brand ones and say the top dollar ones?? if you can get a decent one for $400 why the hell would you pay $1400 for a brand name one?

I bought a cheap kit off JustJap for something like $350 and it works awesomely - oil temps stay nice and low. But if you really, really care about your engine I would go a brand name kit. (If my engine blew up I would have to replace it with an RB26 lol).

There was a group buy on these a while ago (this time last year) they were reasonably priced, B&M core, thermostat controlled and included the filter relocaton kit. I think they were through UAS or something. You'd probably still be able to get a bit of discount since you're from SAU. Do a search in the group buy section.

u get what u pay for

LOL - this sounds like a line the girls use when paying exorbitant prices for shoes or handbags.

An oil cooler is VERY VERY low tech, and shouldn’t be very expensive. Sure a solid gold unit will be good for heat transfer, but I doubt any of us would see the benefit for the price.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
