On my evo the oem side mount oil cooler (even though it gets air from the front of the car) doesn't evacuate into the wheel well efficiently and temps skyrocket after a few laps on a hot day.

I've rigged up a water spray which I need to better test, but should help.

Just thinking you might need something similar or use a 12v fan if airflow isn't available.

Ps. my r34 loves the oil cooler in front of the radiator.

Really, I found the oil temps lower with it in that location.

Problem with it in front of your radiator is it can cause coolant temp problems on the track. To solve air flow issues with it side mounted you can Swiss cheese the inner guard if your still running it

Not sure if you saw, there is a major air flow issue. No air getting to it.

I'm not running guide liners at the moment, but will be when I've got time to make some.

I did think about re-locating in-between the intercooler and the radiator. But I want to keep water temps as low as possible. I've run it there previously and both water and oil temps were higher under sustained load.

Work on the car last night.

I mounted mine in front of the wheel also and slotted the inner rear guide with an angle grinder to allow air flow through, never had an issue with oil temps.

Your front bar looks good, turned out good.

Epic read! Will keep an eye one this

[Plattsy]

love it. need to learn me some of them metallin' skills.

Day off work on Friday to finish everything up.

Got a hold of the new ADVAN AD08R, fare bit of hyper around this tyre. The time-sheet will tell.

265/35 R18

As is always the case, things take a while. It was 7PM before we left finally.

Then to wake up the next morning to a missing left wing end plate (fasteners came loose, lost it on the hwy somewhere) and ice.

[ssxRicho]

Anyway the old man went and hunted around some local farms, found some alloy and cut it to shape.

Fog to start the day followed by misty rain, then heavier rain, then cold wind.

[ssxRicho]

This is the first time we have had the splitter on with wheel on...it ended up being a little too low...

[ssxRicho]

Also it turns out the NACA ducts have protective film on both sides.....

One started to come out :|

[ssxRicho]

Ran the first session without the splitter. I hadn't run Winton with no ABS before, new tyres and new brake pads, in the wet...so just in case I went off. No splitter.

[ssxRicho]

1.35 on a drying track pedaling around at 80% bedding things in. I thought for sure I was on A050's, the AD08R straight off the bat surprised me. Seems like they are going to live up to their hype.

You can see the NACA duct here, doh!

[ssxRicho]

With the splitter on now, 1.34 again on a drying track (the damn rain kept coming through).

Not sure what the temp was, cold! mother F$%ing cold.

Dropped the pressures back to 30-31 hot

1.33.38 on AD08R's, street tyres. Love em, such a progressive and predictable tyre. Did a lot of laps in both wet and dry during the day, 40'ish. Tyres still look very new.

After working on the car all week after work and 16 hours on Friday, I was pretty tired and my brain started going off in the last session I did. 1.32.8 was the optimal time on the lap timer for the day and that was easily achievable. I made mistakes on all my hot laps in the last session. With more practice without ABS (this is only my 3rd time) and a more speed conducive day 1.31's are a go'er.

Thanks to Marty and his little Canon point and shoot camera for the external pics.

[stevena]

Good work buddy, could you tell any difference between the splitter off then on?

[zebra]

I see you on SBS Richo

[ssxRicho]

Yepo. I'd run out of fuel for the shootout, do it was a drifto session.
