What size oil cooler will fit on the Nismo?

It's really a non-issue. Yes, you might end up with a quart or less left in the system after a change, but you've then changed out 5 quarts worth, roughly 83%.

If you want to drain it all, just remove the two fittings from the sandwich plate and flush the cooler using compressed air. I plan on doing this every 3 changes or so, which should be about once a year.

Even with the fittings at the bottom you will still end up with oil left in the system, just not as much.

I am with Dustin@Z1 - the 34 row cooler is easy to install (2 hours) and a must if you track the car at all. I am in Austin and have gone to 3 driving events now and it is a must. The dam thing lowered my temps 50+ degrees (from 255 to 190) and that is in the Texas heat. For oil coolers bigger is really better.

I just put a 25-row on the Nismo the other week. No modifications to the front damper (or flipping it) whatsoever.

weeeee:

Where did you locate the cooler? What kind of bracketing did you use? Do the cooler and damper touch?

Dustin@Z1 · 06-23-2010, 02:25 PM

Vipor,
If you choose to build your own kit. We can supply the parts individually if you prefer. We stock 19, 25 and 34 row coolers, brackets, sandwich plates etc. Give me a shout what exact build parts you are looking for and I can get you a quote.

Put it in a 2Litre bottle or something. Haven't done it myself yet but I'm sure there's a way that's not too difficult. I'll update my DIY when the time comes.
