Does anyone know of a company that makes a oil filter block plate for the RB26?

I've searched around and havn't found any company that makes this, only oil filter relocation kits that bolt straight onto the warmer/cooler.

I want to run the lines straight out from the block to the filter/cooler.

starting to wonder why there arnt many companies making these for the rb26, maybe its not a good idea?? cant see any problem with it apart from the loss of the oil warmer and having to wait a little more time to let the oil warm up before driving...

I'm after a plate exactly like this one, made by Tomei for the SR20, but I'm obviously after one for rb26.. thanks

thanks guys for the info, I've got an aftermarket oil cooler and a oil filter relocation kit already.

I'm really just wanting to get rid of all of this and replace it with a plate on the block, then run the lines straight from that to the filter relocation plate / after market oil cooler.

I presume you mean like this RB26 in the photo below -

The above sandwich plate is a Mocal sandwich plate with a thread adaptor for the short block. I noticed it cost's roughly $20 USD

for the thread adaptor and $90 USD for the Mocal sandwich plate.

Oil relocation kit fits on top of sandwich plate, where oil filter goes on the sandwich plate and the lines from

side of sandwich plate go to oil cooler core.

Another way (I presume the way you want to do it) is to mount the Permacool (or Mocal) remote take off to the short block in place of the Mocal sandwich plate,

then run lines to remote filter plate. Then fit sandwich plate to where oilfilter goes on remote filter plate. Then oil lines from

side of sandwich plate to oil cooler core -

Hey, thanks all for all the great info!

I think I'll get the oil cooler adaptor type b from greddy http://www.trust-power.com/spec_swf/04cool...RepairParts.swf Has the sensor fittings that I need, but not sure on what thread or pitch yet :no:

I'm going to pull off all the stock oil cooler and see what I have to do to mount it there.... Does anyone know if I have to drill/tap a fitting in there? or does it already have a thread/fitting there?

Will see when I pull it all off I guess....

GeeTR: my car is more of a track car than street, I hardly ever drive it and when I do I warm it up before driving it anywhere.

There is a fitting already there thats o ringed to seal.

Ive used the trust ones from high octane, and also a factory one I modified on my own GTR.

Simplifies the water lines under the plenum somewhat which always makes it easier to work on.

Mate i have just done this mod to my R32 GTR i got a really well made (CNC) remote filter mount. You have to be careful of the diameter of the remote filter mount no more than 70mm or its to large to fit.

The factory oil water cooler will pull off after you remove the 4 mounting bolts / studs then you will be left with a fitting to suit the slide on factory oil water cooler. This you can remove by vice grips or such as it round with no flats to get a spanner on. this will leave you with a 20 x 1.5 thread which most sandwich plates or remote filter housing send with the kit.

I got this from Ebay and if your interested drop me a PM and i will give you the sellers details.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
