I enjoy my Mishimotor Radiator with the stock Clutch fan and GKtech fan blade... but what ever you decide to do though, do NOT buy the mishimoto electric fan. its garbage and is better off meant to cool a computer or somthing.

My advice also.  Mishimoto electric fan seems designed for Antartica

Update;

Purchased a Garret GTX3582R 0.82 T4 last week from Supercheap (they had 30% off sale for $2350). I made up my mind and ill be buying Koyorad Radiator using the stock fan and shroud. 

As I do more research, I come up with a lot more questions lol. 

Q1: Currently, I am looking at getting the sump extension but if I can't, is it worth me buying TOMEI POWERD Oil Pan Baffle Plate? Was wondering if that would help me by any chance. 

Q2: Is it worth selling the Power FC and buying Haltech Plug in ECU to run flexfuel? As mentioned previously, my power goals are at least 550-600hp atw (p.s this will be a weekend cruiser not a track car)

Q3: Anything else I should consider for a "reliable" 550hp? 

Thanks guys

Power FC is not a limitation on power depends on how keen you are to have flex fuel. Plus its not an engine out job if you change your mind later.

Reliability is mainly down to a good build followed by a good tune.

1. In the absence of a larger capacity sump the Tomei baffle is worth having.  I ran one on the track for years whilst over filling the sump.

2. Well your set up will either be more suited to E85 or petrol. So if you need to run both then yes you need something other than a power FC.  Its much easier to find hp with E85. There are now much better ecus than APexi's 1990 version.

3. Just spend alot of time on ring selection, block preparation/blowby and work out how you are going to run the thing in from the moment it starts up.  Oh and no one has said dont waste your money on that intercooler.  Also valve springs have you got some?  Head gasket?

Thank you for your comment! Its always better to have flefuel option I guess. Good point I guess I can swap the ecu later on, but ill make sure the fuel system is e85 compatible.

Don’t waste your money on a tomei baffle, nite the bullet and get an extended sump with trap doors and etc

Hard decision! still thinking about it. I won't be taking my car to tracks but as I said it is only for reliability purposes.

Engine work was done before I purchased the car but the engine never went in the car as the previous owner did not have the funds to complete the build. Headgasket, valve springs etc are all upgraded.  I have both stock and aftermarket (105mm thick) intercoolers. Which one would you recommend?

I don’t take mine to the track either and while accelerating in a straight line with the stock sump with a tomei baffle it kept tripping the engine protection due to oil surge

Purchased Reimax N1 Oil Pump gears (RhdJapan) and Nitto Crank Collar (Goleby Parts) today. 

Also will buy full gasket kits for the intake manifold, rocker covers etc. from (Kudos).

Kudos also quoted me $1290 for a CRG T4 High Mount Manifold with 50mm External Gate Port. Still unsure whether I should get 6Boost or CRG. any thoughts?

Another Question.. 

In order to fit Nitto Crank Collar, do I have to get the N1 oil pump drive machined to fit? 

No you have to get the crank machined to take the collar...pump will fit. And buy the cheapest crank collar you can find...its a piece of steel put through a CNC lathe - not rocket science.

you definitely need to machine it yup..6 boost top mounts are the only manifolds you see in my area and are total bulletproof manifolds that never crack and have a ton of different flange options. 1200 Canadian dollars cant beat it mate.

I literally just went through this with my gtr.  The billet gears are super easy to install. I just used my stock oil pump because of sump issues etc.  I was getting all ready to have an extended nose collar machined on,  to find out that I already had extended nose. 93 and later gtrs all have the extended collar already. I would definitely recommend changing the gears out on the pump as its not the power that destroys them its the rpm. and yeah extended collar forsure if you want reliability. 

Mine is a 1993 R32 GTR so I'm guessing I don't have to do anything then? (even though I've purchased nitto crank collar lol)

That's correct unless someone has put an earlier crank in it...

    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
