That depends on many things...........

Type of car

Type of cooler

Type of fittings

Type of Hose

Location of cooler and remote oil filter unit

w/shop and quality of install

and probably a couple other things i have missed

Haha I'll do it for $299 :)

Take into consideration also the cost of the new filter (probably worth replacing) and replacement of new oil as well. Doesn't take long to do and its a pretty simple upgrade. Much easier than the FMIC installation

yes i installed mine in a 33 gtst, its not as simply as everyone might think. running the lines neatly and securely, and making custom brackets to hold everything. I found the brackets is what took me the longest to do, bout an hour in itself. All up about 2 hours with abit of mucking around doing an unrushed good quality job for first time. Id imagine 2nd time would be alot quicker.

Screw the brackets - just use cable ties!! :)

I'm getting a kit soon so will be able to tell you.. I reckon if you can change an oil filter, you could install these kits... not very technical at all.

Whats the usual labour cost of installing an oil cooler kit with remote filter allocator?

"It depends" is right.

A mate of mine from Pirtek and I put a cooler and remote-filter on my GTR

one night, it took about 4 hours. That's not including the prep work (relocating

the battery to the boot, making the bracket for the cooler itself).

The work we actually did on the night was:

mounting the cooler

enlarging the hole for hosework between engine bay and front RHS guard

mounting the remote filter mount

mounting the thermostat

cutting/crimping 4 hoses

... If you use clamps, and rubber hose, it will be faster (but leakier ;)).

You also won't have to be as careful of braided lines rubbing a hole in something.

I think my hoses have been in place for about 15 months without a leak.

Regards,

Saliya

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
