On the competition oil cooler
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=594500090
I got the following email:
[name_withheld]@bellsouth.net
I've searched the official datsun parts book, and there was no factory
competition oil cooler available from Datsun. Please tell me the part
number so I can look it up, otherwise, you might be falsely advertising
an item.

My, tongue in cheek reply:
[I'll bcc the sender, as I thought the original email was a joke... ]
Boy, what a nice friendly email. Do you always accuse sellers of fraud?
Do us both a favor, and don't bid if you haven't done your homework
first.
I am such a friendly SOB, that I just for fun tossed a few past
competition catalogs out and snapped a photo. Oh, let me guess you don't
trust digital photo's as they can be touched up. Hint, in the listing
I pointed out the thermostat was non-original, doesn't that seem odd to
point out that part was NOT original.

P.S. Photo's of the comp catalogs are at:

P.P.S. The original kit was part number 23100-25510, only difference
is that the kit came with a sheet metal scoop (easily fabricated).
The 15238-25510 is stamped on the oil filter/cooler line body. So
it was a specific U20 item, just makes me wonder what the history
of the part was?
