After seeing the Brass Monkey R35 World Challenge GT-Rs go into limp mode all the time from overheating transmissions I would say that this is a definite necessity for someone who wants to beat their GT-R on the track.

Most of the Cobb GTR's cooling mods go toward the tranaxle. It has 3! coolers for all the stuff back there.

The slipping of the clutches creates a lot of heat. In the transaxle, you have clutches for the center diff. You have the DSG clutches.

Then you have gears of the transmission, and gears of the rear end, all creating heat.

The Super Taikyu R34 had center, trans, and rear end coolers on it, along with a provision to do a front diff cooler on some circuits.

Just like the Evo X MR dual clutch SST tranny; those suckers overheat after a few laps on track. A cooler is mandatory for tracking those cars.
