DIY: Oil Cooler Installation on a Nismo (Damper Included!) - vipor

I'll be changing mine at 5k intervals more than likely (depending on track time) and dropping the cooler every 3rd change. That should put it at over a year per flush.

There has also been talk about using compressed air to just push the oil through the system and out. Merely disconnect both fittings from the sandwich plate, throw one hose in a bucket (preferably with a lid and a hole in it) and blow in the other.

yeah I was too lazy to drop the core for oil changes intermittentantly so I just mounted the oil cooler upside down. Draw back was I had to take off the front dampner on the nismo, which I don't mind because I still dont' see a gain or loss.
