Hi, I have replaced my OEM radiator with an aftermarket bigger better unit and fitted a separate MOCOL oil rad unit for the purpose of stopping the Auto Tranny frying itself stupid. (I also have SAW which does not help!) What is the working oil temp for a TT AUTO Tranny and should I fit a (probably high temp) OILSTAT so that it gets up to speed first. I believe auto tranny oil is happy at around 140 degrees, but would like that confirmed by a guru. Thanks again. :tooth:

Hi, The TT has a small pathetic oil cooler - is it small because Nissan were happy to pump cold oil without an oilstat and a bigger oild cooler would have needed an oilstat - or is there a secret hidden oilstat somewhere that I do not know about? I have dumped the OEM oil-cooler and fitted a MOCOL and I have an OILSTAT (wax thermostat kicks in at 80 degrees) to fit but do not want to reinvent the wheel so to speak! :punk: Any help/advice appreciated. :yes:

Baz - where are they from - they are sweet! :cool3:

ELM be off now, CEDAR later; CONKER all, CHEST out, try KNOT to PINE. but lets CONIFER later over an ACORN of old OAK. Enough..... sleeping: STOP IT!

DAM - sorry guys - I had not seen that before ;-(

...But why???

Well... :punk:

Lovely Ant - I think - keep it black to match the body and break up the orange. But either way still stunning.

Looking good - well done matey - great work - nice detail.

Hooray - someone noticed it..

Yes - Many times - as long as the goods are not as advertised or proven defective or mis-described - the paypal buyer protection system works ok - (PayPal Buyer Protection helps you if you don't receive your item or the item is significantly different from its description in the seller's listing) - up to a 1000 euros. :cool3: - it's just the hassle factor matey. :gun_bandana:

Well yes and no - with the famous paypal - print your own weight/label system [example] you can create a label/charge for any weight and stick it on the box yourself - it does/should get checked at the post office (but not 100% gauranteed) - and then only if it's a recorded delivery - and even then... I am sure there are ways around [sending an empty box with an incorrect weight recorded] if one is so inclined - sadly. :taz:

Ok - I will fill it with fuel and do the hatcha cha cha around my workshop whilst NOT smoking a large cigar ;-) (just painting a picture for you here guys) lol

What happened to Chris who supplied these for the GB (I believe)? I have tried to contact him many times and got nowhere? Is he still around/trading? Have I missed something ;-)

Cheers guys will attack it with carb cleaner and a toilet brush then ;-)) If the head of the brush comes off in the middle of the plenum somewhere - will it effect performance much???? ;-)) ;-))

There are many commercial peeps who will do it for you - but expect to pay around £400.00. Try Gavin Sowter at GS Polishing I know he has done a few (http://www.gspolishing.co.uk/) - I have never used him though so...

It has a shiny splash cover now and is sealed up with clear silicon where the wiring enters/exits. This is a bit extreme and currently untested as yet so... (as in bits of car still in the post so it has not moved for a while like this). ;-))

Luke poked his down behind the headlight panel - I moved mine doen to near where the air con compressor used to be:

Think Automotive are also very good for those in Surrey/Middx. http://www.thinkauto.com/

Braided with PTF internals are no use IMHO - it's gotta be rubber and 'AN' - otherwise you are defeating the object of using braided hoses in the first place (and your limited as to the end fittings you can deploy) - that being (hopefully) that you fit them once and never have to worry about them again! (OH - and they are shiny).

...Without messing up the nice shiny outside!! I am 60% done with my plenum polish and have realised that I have not flushed the thing through yet?? What's the best way of doing this now guys (and girls)? :confused1:

Home made then chromed..

yes - there is a big fat bracket - looks like this (but not shiny: Maybe) :oops:
