I noticed mine boiling after events...........texas summers....etc....
the stock cooler is too small.....only two rows so when the fluid is flowing it passes through the cooler core too quick to actually cool down..........
I did this 40 dollar mod and it has worked AMAZING!

everyone please - note down the average temps you race in (weather), type of racing you do(everyone says "at the track" what track? doing what??, how long your runs are, etc...lets get a true test of these products going for a better feel for them....
I have seen people in TEXAS at drift events boil their fluid with the Nismo unit because its so small (two row).
YOu must remember it depends on the track style - cool down period, etc...
AUTOX:
MOst autoX'ers dont have this problem with the Z because:
They are on a high school football field parking lot - each run is 90 seconds if that, they have cool down time before the next run and this is not an issue.
Drifting:
Me personally, put it sideways over and over, with usually NO wait whatsoever between runs at my local events........
I boil fluid in redundancy and TEXAS HEAT.
HPDE, etc:
On laps over and over again - its found to boil fluid....
What are your tracking styles, weather, wait between runs, etc, how have they held up???
Lets get a real feel for the use and abuse of the products!
# - SN - type of cooler - location - weather temp - redundancy - wait time -
1. Jason - my diy 4row 12" cooler - TEXAS - hot as hell 95-100 degree weather - repeated laps no wait - minimal down time - only tire changes.

all three threads you posted Marty are GREAT ideas, should prove worthy of a sticky and very helpful to us all. I hope to contribute at some point.
Might I also suggest a braking setup database that encompases pads, rotors, lines, fluids etc moreso than just the pad database that is already in place?
Per Jason's DIY I will be doing a similar setup for my power steering and a DIY style oil cooler as well (using a larger more robust unit of course).
One nice thing about staying NA, is placement is much easier to factor in with these type of mods, no intercooler to get in the way.
