Posted December 16, 2024Dec 16 comment_672286 Spotted this Sports Option diff cooler and pump. Thought it would be interesting for some. @HS30-H can you say anymore, pump under rear floor mounted, bolt holes already exist? The auction listed it for the Fairlady Z.

January 12Jan 12 comment_673127 I cannot comment on that setup, but most guys stateside who actually do run a diff pump setup will use something like this with a small mocal or setrab cooler, similar in size to yours pictured. : https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=156 Depending on HP, etc, differential temps are a legitimate concern, even during 1/2 hour sessions. My memory is a bit hazy but I was seeing temps above 250 degrees prior to the pump.

Sorry, missed your post first time round. It looks very similar to the diff cooler kit fitted to some of the later UK & 'Euro' market cars (for expected Autobahn speeds I guess). I've got a couple of the same pumps as NOS parts and I believe they continued well on into Z31 period. Used on other models too. Factory Works rally cars used a similar pump in '73, hidden/safe in one of the tool compartments: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69190-sports-option-diff-cooler/#findComment-673157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
