hey all, just wondering r33gtr rb26, 380oddrwkw, little bit of 1/4 mile work, running max 18psi, all standard oil set up (factory pump/no aftermarket sump baffles etc, head restrictors) should i think about getting a aftermarket oil cooler?

cheers robbie

and a good oil pump so the gears don't break

Would not hurt but I see having an oil cooler will be more beneficial on a circut / drift car.

Oil cooler will just keep your oil at a lower temp so the engine will still run a lot smoother.

If you are just doing 1/4 mile work, you won't be on the track for long so there is kinda no point but if you are performing multiple drag races in one day its probley not a bad idea either IMO.

hmmm yeah i no, it kinds sucks getting all the turbo work done, wasnt really told i should upgrade all my oil systems, well hope the engine holds till at least a year after my baby is born ha

Fit the oil cooler when the oil starts getting too hot ...or taking a long time to dissipate after WOT.

I found a BNR32 needs to be peddled pretty hard on the street to upset oil temps.

cool, thanks, was driving up a mountain (about 10 mins) and oil temp got to about 120deg, wasnt using much boost, hate to think how hot it would have got if boosting.......

120 degrees is defintely getting on the hot side.....

If you want one and have to dollars, the setups with a thermostat are the ones to go for. It lets the engine oil get up to operating temp and then keeps it there...

[femno]

120! Thats really quite hot...!

You dont have to have one with a thermostat, theyre often overpriced and hard to find.

The Just Jap kits are awesome, ive had one with a remote mount for a couple of years now and it does a great job. Street, track, even on a 30 degree day at winton it kept temps reasonable. And even though it doesnt have a thermostat, its doesnt over-cool the oil.

For $460 you cant go wrong.

I managed to cook the oil in mine after a drive in the hills on a summers day. If you are only using the car for 1/4 mile action or a short drive every now and again I wouldn't bother. If you plan on doing track days or some extended spirited driving I'd recommend you get one.

hey thanks for advice, might try going that just jap kit......

Oil cooler is an excellent investment, especially if you do a little track work. I have a 13 row trust with remote filter

Adding an oil cooler also increases oil capacity which is never a bad thing. Especially when you dont have any other oil control mods to limit cylinder head lubrication or return. An oil cooler is an important part to any modified/hard driven car whether it be used for street, track or drags. Also in australia with our climate a thermostat for your oil isnt completely necessary as its rarely cold enough to need it.

Good luck,
