Oil Cooler

[UWISSH!]

Alright i have a trust/ grex oil cooler on my r33 gtr and im not happy about where its placed on the car, (was this way when i bought it)

i want to move it down into the driver side front bar.

When i disconnect the braided lines near the cooler, is oil going to start pissing out everywhere? i only ask as ive never delt with oil cooler installation before

if it helps at all the filter relocation kit is up near the drivers strut tower

Thanks in advance

The law of gravity hasnt changed as far as I know. If the disconnected hose is lower than the oil supply then yes, According to Newton it will piss every where.

Its probably a better idea to wait until you do your next oil change and do it then.

Yeh oil definitely spills out (unless you have a thermostat inline). Discovered that when I installed my new gauges, took the blanking bolt out of the sandwich plate and oil went everywhere... Was ready for it though, jammed the new sensor in there quick smart.

As above, I would wait until you do your next service.

understood, but will it continue until empty or stop after whats in the lines is gone? as in will only piss out whats inbetween the filter and the cooler?

If the filter is higher then yes, that is all you will lose.

just fyi ive got a 15 row core and there was no room at all to put it in the drivers side fender because of the factory bovs

ive got a trust type r bov,heaps of room now and have already dumb fit the cooler roughly where i wanted it while line where still attached and it does take up alot of space but it did fit.

well atm the cooler is mounted flat down near the sump and filter is up next to strut tower.

anyway ill wait until my border carbon side ducts come in the next couple of weeks and then i may aswell just do a complete oil change then
