Hi guys I recently took my v35 drifting and the engine oil got up to about 120 degree celcius (brought it in for a cooldown after, and shortened my trips out after), as well as boiling my power steering oil. 

So I am after a thermostatic oil cooler with a thermo fan as well as a powersteering cooler with a fan. 

I need them to have fans as drifting doesn't usually get enough airflow over coolers and they would heatsoak. 

Thank you.

Apparently those ones aren't any good because the inlet/outlet is on the bottom of the cooler. 

Really need something that has a fan on it, but I can always retrofit one I guess.

Why does that bother you? It will be full of oil pretty quick, just crank over with plugs out of you are worried. Once the oil is in there it can't come out.

The issue with the outlets being on the bottom is the cooler doesn't fully fill up with oil. It will take the path of least resistance. Someone I think it was Derale did a video and proved it only 1/4 filled up.
