Aren't xr6 coolers taller, therefore giving more surface area for the incoming charge. Skylines are pretty much limited to 300 mm tall.

Yes fg are nearly as tall as the radiator. Ba/bf still get decent gains with a bigger cooler when over 250kw depending on the setup.

A lot of tuners have a simple sensor you can weld a bung on to attach and done. Cost maybe $50 for the bung welded and use whatever they already use

Handy to have IMO, especially if you wanna play around with a setup a bit.

Years ago my son got a Just Jap cooler for our GTR in 100mm, the biggest issue we had back then was the side brackets had to be cut, repositioned and welded which was a unseen (by him) cost, unsure if the current ones have this done correctly. (That was for the R32 GTR cooling Pro coolers)

Front bar on the R32 needed to be cut out about 20 or so mm to fit it back on.

In our case the OEM cooler was simply tired looking but flowed more than enough for what he had, our thoughts back then was that being an extra inch thicker it wouldn't add restriction but we never assumed it would improve over the OEM R32 GTR cooler, the OEM ones are known to be used on over 400Kw builds without issue.

As nismoid mentioned, its no big deal to add the bungs and take some measurements so you have some facts at hand when playing around with setup.

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
