Hey guys,

Since im going to be running a twin entry cooler I can no longer fit this oil cooler and box where it lives now.

Its a setup that utilises every bit of air that passes through the passenger side of the bumper and forces it through the oil cooler, maximising its effects on oil temps. If you want to control your oil temps on the track, this is how its done. Its very well built, using 1.6mm ally sheet, and even features mesh to avoid damage from wheel debris.

It will fit GTRs with the standard intercooler and piping arrangement, with plenty of wheel clearance too. Could possibly fit other vehicles or anything running a GTR cooler.

Ive obviously had it fabricated to suit my front bar, but with minimal mods it will fit behind any other bar. Will connect up to any oil relocation/cooler setup.

Setup includes the TRUST core (-10AN attachments), the aluminium box, and the brackets to mount to the wheel well. No lines.

$300, price is firm as the cost of the fabrication hours alone was more than this.

Located in Melbourne, no worries posting at buyers cost.

Cheers,

Mat.

Hi Matt, from reading this it appears it will fit well in my R32 GTR.

Whats the length of the lines required to get it over to the otherside for an Oil filter relocation kit?

Looks like you have a similar bar too!

My filter block is bolted on the drivers side of the subframe, just along the sway bar, and the lines are about 900mm long.

Speedflow -10 braided line can be had for about $30 a metre.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
