If I was you I'd be putting a piece of mesh in front of that oil cooler. One decent rock.....

Anyone had any joy with an R32 GTR fitting yet (Cooler only). with the HICAS pump (?) near the filter fitting I think it's going to be almost impossible to get on an early R32 GTR. Took me twenty minutes to get the filter on (and another 15 minutes of cursing for not fitting a remote kit at the time)

Had mine fitted, it was apparently a cow of a job.

Mine's an early with the pump.

There was feck all room for the cooler in the front bar too... will get some pics tonight.

The sandwhich plate was the worst part... the remote is on the front crossmember on the driver's side

PS: those mounts are solid :P. I could grab the cooler with both hands and the car moves b4 the cooler does.

As stated earlier, 1/3 of core is exposed to direct air, 2/3 gets "2nd hand" air flow behind the ic.

Quick question to those that have digital temperature readouts (ie: Apexi Pfc, Wolf, etc.)

When you installed the oil cooler, did the WATER temp go down?

Cant say mine really did, water temp was around 80 degrees all day on the track for me.

The oil cooler should in theory using laws of physics keep water temp down since you are cooling the oil which is circulating around the same area.

Can you please find out if u can definitely get the kit to suit an S15/SR20? If so I want to order one please. I guess we need 4 more people to join in order to get the 20% discount? Cmon people!!! These kits are cheap as chips, and they massively increase the life span of both your oil AND your engine!!!

20% Discount will still apply for SAU. Toby says SR20 has the same oil filter thread as the skyline, so the same sandwich plate will fit the SR20.

Also might be worth one of you measuring the hose length from your current oil filter to your mounting point, just to make sure we dont fall short on the hose length. Garden hose is good for this.

From sight it looks like the distance is identical. I had alook at a mate's R33 as he has his oil cooler in the guard. Looks very similar to mine. I will try to get my S15 on a hoist and double check. I take it the hose comes as one long length and you cut to suit and attach the end nuts? Can you get a 3m length of braided line just in case?

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
