Need advise- Is it OK to remove the rear diff cooler on a UK spec

[ardasaliah]

The rear diff cooler on a UK spec. Mine is leaking and I am thinking about bypassing it with a bit of piping.

I don't do track days etc. Just normal commuting. Motorways mostly.

I will eventually replace it with a motal cooler but that will need some slight modifications.

Does the car need the cooler as jap specs don’t' have them?

What are you views?
Would it be OK to remove it?

Any advise appreciated as my car is jacked up waiting for a decision

Cheers

Just bypass the cooler with some neat copper pipe.

If I had a J-Spec, could I use that rear diff cooler. I like my sideways you see and the Torsen kinda works hard. If not Chris any other ideas?

Cheers.

Done- Total cost £3. Some fuel hose and two clips

You can fit a diff cooler to a J-Spec, yes, but the list of parts to duplicate a UK car installation is extensive. Best to buy a Jabsco pump and make up lines and fittings.

i had a uk lsd fitted to my jap car and guy who fitted it took off the pump that came with the diff as i dont have a diff cooler on my jap supra.
