had a quick look tonight and that spot actually is looking better an better Ronin assume u used the bolt holes for the power steering lines,

Had wanted to tuck mine up near the drivers side engine mount but I dunno if I am going to manage to fit it in their though its tight!!

Don't give up it does fit there. I just mounted mine up there using a fabbed plate mount bolted thought one of the empty bolt holes on the engine side of the mount. I made the plate up to follow the engine mount to chassis join so it couldn't rotate with an angled piece out into the gap between diff and mount to take the filter unit. Filter sits base down so oil doesn't pour everywhere when changing and its tucked ou of the way.

Just pay attention to the angle of the line coming from the original filter position. You will find you need to make the mount at a strange angle (ie not 90 degrees) to ensure the line clears the engine mount. From the filter to the cooler (thermostat) I used a 90 degree fitting to allow the line to go forward and across the cross member to the LHS.

I can grab some pics on the weekend if you like as the car will likely be up on stands again so I can finish off the ducting to the cooler in the LHS wheel well.

WRRR would love to see some pics, though I think I follow what your saying? Some pics of your ducting idea's would be good to as I will be needing to do similar and am away at work for 5 days so plenty of time to plan the job

Ronin I guess yours being mounted lower you would have more chance of getting ALL The old oil out when changing oil too

Something I am kinda concerned about hence I dont want to resort to mounting high in the engine bay in front of the strut tower like so many others do, if the relocator is the lowest point in the system much more chance of draining all the old oil out.

    • I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area   are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained?    i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times.   there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place?   i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant?   https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275     photo of my engine bay   https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc   I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing
    • So....I managed to fix the belt coming off problem, but unfortunately i destroyed my oil pump. While testing and hitting my rev limiter a bunch, my oil pump took a shit. I actually heard it break. In my great wisdom i decided to hit redline 5 times (original plan). Lowered it to 7500 for the soft limiter. Normally it would come off on the first go. The 6th time I hit the limiter the pump broke and as i began accelerating again and hit it the 7th time, oil pressure dropped and the protection kicked in. It actually made a "tink" as if i dropped something hollow.   The motor is pulled and should be rebuilt and put back in 3 weeks. No bearings were spun and i could have gotten away with simply replacing the pump, but since i had to pull the motor....might as well build it   I made a billet tensioner and the belt stayed on without getting frayed. I also made one for a friends R33, but I was thinking of using a hydraulic unit to keep constant pressure on it when the belt stretches.
    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
