I'm about to put an oil cooler on my RB28, which ones do people who do a bit of track work use,

Has anyone used Mocal, Serck, Setrab ? and what size--10 row - 50 row ??

also where to mount. my last GTR had one mounted behind the passenger side front indicator with the plastic indicator surround cut out, don't think that got enough air, oil temps still went up pretty quick on the track.. I've seen them mounted in front of the radiator, but does that affect water temp ??

thoughts ?? :P

Im running a setrab 30 row just infront of the rad with earls oil filter/block adapter and pirtek lines I had made up.

Bit of a random setup but does the job.

One thing I learnt but, try to steer clear of cheaper kits that use a barb and hose clamp for the end oil line fittings, proper crimped lines are best.

yeah I'll definatly be using the good fittings, do it right, do it once....

have you tested it on the track, if so what sort of temps do you see ?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
