Piece together a Nismo style oil cooler kit for R34

I am trying to piece together a Nismo style oil cooler kit for my R34. seems like you can just buy the Nismo oil cooler ducts, and would be a lot cheaper to buy all the parts seperately and you get better result. Similar to what member HIRISK has done. Do you know what size Setrab oil cooler should I get?

  1. Setrab Oil Cooler (need correct size)
  2. Nismo Oil Cooler Ductings
  3. TRUST GREDDY GREX Remote Oil Filter Relocation with Thermostat
  4. TRUST GREDDY GREX Engine Oil Block Adapter
  5. Nomex/Kevlar braided hose
  6. -10AN Fittings

Lol. I have done EXACTLY this. haven't fitted it yet but have literally all the bits, except i didn't buy the nismo installation bracket kit as i was going to fab them out of steel instead, they wanted like 300 bucks just for a few bits of metal.

I have a Setrab series 6 25 row cooler, and it is slightly too tall to fit into the nismo ducting but was planning to cut and fibreglass the duct to fit it correctly. I will get some pictures tonight to show you what the issue is.

the setrab rows are much shorter than the older greddy style coolers, so 25 row setrab is slightly taller and longer than a 13 row Greddy/Trust one (which is basically the same core as the nismo one)

the greddy core is the same as the nismo one and I think would fit the duct perfectly. there are lots of 13 row coolers on the market with this older design so its an easier option. I went the setrab as I wanted the best cooler I could fit in there.

 

here is the genuine kit. the cooler is a 13 row one same as basically all the japanese brands, and now china copies.

and here is what the nismo bracket kit looks like (21308-RNR45):

My oil cooler mission was all kinds of painful: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462362-oil-cooler-too-eager-faulty-thermostat-or-incorrect-temp-sensor-location/


Learnings:

- Do NOT buy a second hand kit

- Do NOT buy a Mocal sandwich plate for a street car (too much flow when cold) or if you want to run any sensors (who doesn't?)

- DO buy best quality hoses you can afford

- DO buy kevlar hoses so you don't have to stuff around with garden hose over it to stop rubbing, like I did

- DO install core in the guard instead of in inline with rad/AC/IC

Tl;Dr - Cheap out upfront and you'll pay manyfold later. Do your homework.

Look at the construction of the Setrab cooler and you will see it is superior to the "Nismo" one.

Seems like Setrab 25 row is a bit too big and their 19 row is a bit too small... Fail

 

Greddy 13 row oil cooler size is L299mm x H185.4mm x W50mm . got the info from here

I have a 19 rows on a rb20 14psi/0.9b of boost and its just enough on track. I could duct it properly to gain some more cooling out of it but on a 30% bigger engine and much more power I don't think that will be a good idea even if ducted proprely.

 

Better take the 25 one and make it fit, at least if the goal is to track it. On the street the 19 rows will suffice.

Pretty severe driving if you need an oil cooler on the street? I'm yet to see a street where you can sit on WOT for long periods...

I've got a 19 row Mocal on RB25DET Neo at 20psi and it seems to be fine on the track.

I have noticed that the oil temp gets up there on those really hot summer days in bumper to bumper traffic.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
