Hey guys, installing a oil cooler and relocation kit

Looking at mounting the cooler in front of the radiatorbut there are 2 lines(backed on itself )in the way.

Ive traced one end back to the power steering fluid resovoir but unsure of where the other side ends, i assume its some sort ot cooler ( pictures attached )

So my question is can i get a relocation kit for this and any other preferable mounting positiongs for the cooler, i cant see where the mount is possible behind the front bar left or right side.

Cheers, kind regards

Have you um checked anyone else's setups?

Majority of setups are where these lines are or under the front bar infront of the air ducts on the left or right side

Does anyone know if you can get a relocation kit for the power steering lines as i am unable to find

Cheers

Yes it's for R33 but pretty much all the possible oil cooler location options are documented in this thread: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/79130-r33-oil-cooler-installation/

I read it top to bottom before installing mine, great info.

Ideally you'd want your oil cooler under left or right headlight behind the front bar so it's not in line with intercooler, A/C core and radiator.

However depending on the size of your oil cooler core this may not be possible, especially presuming you have IC piping running on both sides since it's a GT-R.

hey mate, yeah isnt a whole lot of room with the IC piping, cheers for that link i had a read, and ill have another look for potential spots tommorow.

thinking of relocating the power steering lines to fit the it infront of the ac core. not ideal spot but im not sure it will fit under the head lights.

regards

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

      After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
