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.

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
