anyone out there know of or have a gtr oil cooler.

doing alot of track days and on the advice of a m8 (Paul) i need a oil cooler to prevent oil surge in my gtr... the cost of a gtr engine rebuild is crazy so this would be some cheap insurance.

from my searching the go is a 29*27 cm core= 390

conectors and hoses are about 150. plus mounting

(artarmond radiators)

does anyone know a better deal

all help would be greatly appreciated

Hate to disappoint you, but what you need to stop surge is a baffle plate or windage tray. Bolts in the sump and stops the oil surging up the wall of the block and away from the pickup on long corners.

An oil cooler is a very good idea but all it does is that, ie. cool oil.

Baffled sumps are probably not available and if they are, due to the very low demand, are going to be expensive.

Best bet is to have some baffles made up. A good engine builder should know someone who will do it.

Problem with the RB engines is the crank cradle, it will somewhat get in the way of a good baffle.

You could just have a false sump floor put in, with holes to allow drainback, but if you are going to the effort, get a proper crank scraper made up.

Regards, Andrew.

Trust sell a sump upgrade kit for the RB26.It contains a larger

sump bottom which is welded to the sump after the original base

has been cut off.It increases the capacity and also lowers the pickup so you have more oil to play with.There is a round baffle

which the pickup goes into which stops the pickup from sucking air

Adelaide Engine Developments modified mine & they have since come up with their own version which they said is even better.

For the drags the oil cooler is not needed but for hard street use or at the track it is a must.

Call Darren at AED on 0882618813 if interested.I daresay he would only look at modifying a sump if he was doing a complete

engine build but it wont hurt to ask him.

    • 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
