Hi-Res Pic Request: Tamiya R34 Z-Tune Oil Cooler (or similar)

Hi Everybody!

If you're of the set that stopped paying attention to me ages ago, I'm actually building a model kit (OMGWTFBBQ! :eek: Link in sig!) , and I'm looking for candidates for kit-bashing some of the parts I need.

The Subaru S202 has a pretty distinct style of oil cooler (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/SilverS2000/24_S202/24719tune_01_05.jpg). Will got me the oil cooler from a Tamiya Supra, but I find myself waffling over if it's the right size, and more so over if the face has the correct texture.

So now I'm curious about the Z-tune kit's part, which - maybe if I cut it in half and doubled it up - might be pretty close to what I need. Plus, since Tamiya put out the p/e set which includes the same part, perhaps the plastic bit will be easily found laying around in generous AFer's parts bins! :)

I went through about a dozen of the Z-Tune build threads here, but no one seems as enamored with oil coolers as I am...

If you have the Z-tune kit and a decent camera, please be so kind as to get me a couple big pics. Maybe even with a ruler or coin in the frame for scale? Thanks!!

I've scratch built a couple of oil coolers for various variants of WRC Impreza, they're not that difficult to handle.

Exactly! Thanks!! :bigthumb: That's from the Tamiya Z-tune kit? Is that the color plastic in which kit is molded?

If I recall correctly, it's a spare part from Tamiya's Kure Nismo R33. And yes, it's molded in that color. I'll gladly send them to you if you want. Just PM with your address :)
