[BrianV8]

I have the mishimoto one in my car, works great. Had one fitting fail and had to replace it with a russel fitting but thats about it. Two thumbs up.

BUT

If i were to do it again. This is the way i would go. Includes oil filter relocation kit.

New product. Let me know if your interested

-B&m 34 row
-earls fittings
-10 ft earls ss line
-Earls thermostated sandwhich plate.

Personally, the best way to go, cost wise. If you can build your own system you're laughing! Anywhere in particular you sourced these parts? Summit?

Hey i've been running b&m oil coolers on a couple of cars now with no problems ,they work well.
For my gtr I have the
-B&m 34 row
-earls fittings
-10 ft earls ss line
-Earls thermostated sandwhich plate.

This set up is simple and should result in good cooling.

will look for earls. but sometimes things get overhyped. I have a mishimoto rad instead of the oh so great koyo and it does the job just fine with no leak whatsover.

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

You do get what you pay for. One thing to look at with any oil cooler kit is the quality of the lines and joints. Trust uses Earls so you know they are good, HKS is also very good as well. I have an HKS kit on my BNR32 and it's worked perfectly, I have never, ever had an oil temp issue, even sitting in stopped traffic for hours in 40 degree heat with the ac on.

The mishimoto doesnt come with the thermostat in the block , i also didnt think it came with sensor bungs. The one i looked at in jrp had debris on the inside of the cooler matrix. If you get it make sure you clean out the crap first.

Im waiting on the HKS one expensive but comes with plates for the r33 to help with the air ducting..

like people said , you get what you pay for.

Whatever core you choose (earls personally, 9 row) make sure you get a sandwich plate/adapter with a thermostat or one that is inline.

I'm bumbping this thread because i'm looking at an oil cooler too. Here's my option:

Brianv8 is selling a godspeed 19 row oil cooler for around 200$ ( dunno if price is still good)

- AMS is selling one at 195$ no info about the row.

- Mishimoto is 10 row for 200$

- Oh and there's a lot of Mocal flying around. I see 10 row for 90$+shipping. I see 16-19 row for 130$+shipping but it's only the oil cooler, nothing else. so i guess if i add the hose supply and such, it will go up to 200$ too.

What would you get? and what else do i need to have it fit? t-stat? relocation ss hose? Thanks for the kind help!

[aN4rk1]
