What size oil cooler will fit on the Nismo?

Outstanding DIY from Vipor...Question to all with oil cooler....are you concerned that by having the in/out on top versus on bottom that you may have stagnant oil or debris that never gets fully drained out during changes? Thanks

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.

Sounds like a mess.

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?

Thanks Dustin. Already got mine taken care of a good while ago though, even did a DIY.

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.
