GTM Differential Cooler Kit install, Anyone done this?

SPOHN · 06-13-2012, 07:04 PM

The OS Gikens are super strong. Being going on mine for a year now with about 7 track days. But I change the fluid pretty often. Every two to three track days. I've only used the OSG fluid. It's costly but worth it.

It's only binded on me once and that's when it was brand new on my first rough outings. Not a lick since.

^ Smart thing to do is to often change the oil (if you regulary track your car). But if you install a Diff cooler you will double or even triple the life of your oil. you'll save money in the long run.

And yes AkumaMS, I had the Motul 75 140, but after what happened i only use the OS oil. You can feel the difference the diff is smother and less noise.

What is best option now? These kits seem very expensive.

Also is there an aftermarket high capacity diff cover for 370z? See them all the time for S2000 and BRZ.

Build your own part by part. A lot cheaper. A diff pump is about $180, about a 13R cooler $140, lines, fittings (this is the costly part. Fittings are costly about $250), and a inline switch to turn on at will. Forget the the temp sensor and automatic activation.

Never seen a high capacity diff cover. There not much room there. A small spacer would be neat.

What makes all that so costly? A built oil cooler costs no where near these prices and use a bigger cooler and hoses.
