I wouldn't want it going much past 100-110degree's.

95degree's is fairly warm, Bl4ck32 has an oil temp guage it sits pretty much level with water temp, being ~83-85degree's.

One difference between yours and his is the lack of piston oil squirters, having piston oil squirters removes heat from the piston, possibly why yours is a little higher.

Which oil temp guage did u get? one with a elec sender? How much I need one. :D

thanks Cubes, i think ill set it at 105C.

all up the whole setup cost more than i wanted to spend i bought each part in stages.

I've done 1,000km in the past 3 days (all 30-35c days with plenty of humidity) and my oil hasn't gone above 90c (according to the factory oil gauge in my r32 gtr, which being 11yrs old im not sure how accurate it is). That's with air intake temps of 50-55c and water temps of 76-85c.

I've certainly done plenty of hard driving (altho only at 11psi) and heaps of freeway driving.

Ive got a Series 1 GTS-t putting out around 270kw and the Water Temperature reading on the Power FC never goes above 81* except during a 3 lap Supersprint when it goes to around 98* and cools down to 81* within 4 mins of driving slowly. I have a Electronic Omori Oil Temp Guage fitted and an Oil Cooler and the Oil Temp never gets above 70* except during a 3 lap Supersprint when it gets to around 100* and it cools back to 70* within the 4 minuite cooldown as well. This was with the Standard Radiator which I replaced with a PWR thicker one and no differece has been noticed. Also running tank water with Water Wetter in the system.

I think 98* normal running seems too hot and I would get the cooling system flushed.

If your hitting 110+ degree oil temps on the street then you should look at fitting an oil cooler, no if's no buts.

Apparently at 115degree's the high oil temps begin to break down the petroleum oils and cause oxidation, which in turn forms deposits, varnish and increases wear.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
