Evo X MR, can u upgrade the clutch?
is there a transmission oil cooler that you can insert or plumb into this to reduce oil temps and thus reducing the chance of the car going "Slow Down" or giving the "red screen of shut off death?"
maybe through the drain hole, plug a switchable pump like they do for differential coolers?

^ There is a post somewhere, maybe a different forum, where this guy takes out the fog lights and replaces the left one with a fan that points right at the cooler. Looked like a good idea.

I remember reading that... I think, in fact, there are others saying all you have to do is remove the fog lights...
here are images of the GTR transmission cooler that is under development.

if we do a similar methodology. perhaps we can get something for our SST to stay cooler during hotter operating temperatures... (thermobaric opening at X*C like oil coolers do.) we can run the power up higher w/o the shut off warning.
this is a prototype GTR sump pan..

Willall Racing are taking a different tact in the field of transmission cooling. While thus far the GT-R’s GR6 dual-clutch transmission has been adapted to external cooling via a simple billet adapter and radiator, Willall have taken to engineering an entire sump replacement and more.
We’ve only been given details on the GR6 sump replacement so far so lets dive into what we know.
The Willall Racing Transmission Cooler (WR35TC) comes with an anodised billet aircraft quality aluminium transmission sump. The computer modelled and 5-axis CNC’d sump is deeper than the standard sump allowing for a larger oil volume. The WR35TC sump is also finned allowing for a much larger surface area for heat to both transfer out of the oil and for air to then carry that heat energy away.
The WR35TC provides removable access ports to give access to the transmission magnets which should be cleaned during a transmission service. It also bolts straight on using the OEM gaskets.
This is part one of the cooler, the primary cooling mechanism is yet to be revealed. To see what heat exchanging path they will follow check back soon when we have part 2 of this report.

ARC, Blitz & HKS are all working on one.

i too am doing a lot of modding to the sst this summer, i have had no problems yet, but when i install the cams and turbo i will let you know, i am aiming for 450 and calling it a day.
