S13 Diff Cooler pump or is it Gearbox?

Post by Stevin »

Hi guys.

Sorry I'm new to the site. I just want to ask a question, seeing that I'm a BMW guy I'm not clued up on Nissans all that much.

I want to ask I was told by someone that the S13 had a differential cooler (but I could be mistaking it for a gearbox cooler). I want to know if this is true? Then if it is what type of pump is it? Do they employ one that is mechanically driven or electrically?

Thanks!

Think you have me mistaken. I've been messing about drifiting for years upon years. Think I started 5yr's back.

My passion is closed circuit saloon car racing, but my weekend play thing is built to be beat on as hard as possible. I'm not talking about my old silver e30 I used to drift with at Wesbank, that car is long gone.

I do remember you VeeCee, from the Club Nizmo forum.

Drifting at Wesbank...

My new build... e46 M3 powered, DTM suspensioned, AP Braked... Super Saloons race car.

Old picture the car is completely painted now. Just waiting on some parts from enginners before we can do final assembly of the front suspension and brakes.
