xfixiate Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The guys that fitted my oil filter relocation kit put it in front of the dipstick on a homemade bracket (flat bar) becuase they reckon they couldn't close the bonnet on the filter. If someone has one fitted properly to a BNR32 could yous please upload a photo of the filter location on the strut tower plus another where the pipes are run (mine are rubbing on the plenum and that can't be good. Any advice on a suitable filter to use (the guys chucked the installation manual which had the sizes etc on it ) Thanks! :worship: John Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219099-botched-up-grex-oil-filter-relocation-kit-r32-gtr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla32 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Im about to install mine. I had planned to attach the filter mount to the side of the chassis rail to enable filter changes from below with no mess. I'd be interested in seeing where your cooler core is located. I still have the stock blow off valves so i was planning to put it in front of the radiator.. Where is yours?

Mr. Keets Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hope this helps...although I'm not a big fan of Fram filters. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219099-botched-up-grex-oil-filter-relocation-kit-r32-gtr/#findComment-3866228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hmm lots of changes in that engine bay. boost controller and coil thingy normally lives there. and hicas solenoids. no room unless you've removed them all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219099-botched-up-grex-oil-filter-relocation-kit-r32-gtr/#findComment-3866910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfixiate Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 hmm lots of changes in that engine bay. boost controller and coil thingy normally lives there. and hicas solenoids. no room unless you've removed them all I was hoping that was the case - my engine bay is a lot busier - also I don't remember there being right angle connectors (I think mine are straight in) so may not be a Grex kit? I don't have the oil cooler or other go-hard parts (running std boost) so a stock pic would be perfect....

Godzilla32 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thats very neat positioning of the core. I like it alot but i still have a power steer cooler in that area How do the lines get back into the engine bay from there?

Duncan Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 nissan was kind enough to put a hole thru the radiator support panel near the battery. just the right size for oil cooler hoses Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219099-botched-up-grex-oil-filter-relocation-kit-r32-gtr/#findComment-3869920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfixiate Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Heres mine... I use a genuine nissan filter on it Yours seems to be the same - the restrictor unit and other stuff has been removed/relocated. I think they've shortened the oil cables/sheaths as well (!) Here's what my (rather pathetically stock) engine bay looks like: Does ne1 have a stock engine bay? There also seems to be something missing - there's a bracket on the tower with nothing on it.....???

Duncan Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 pic missing! but yes all 3 of the ones above have the standard boost control solenoid moved or removed - probably running aftermarket boost controllers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219099-botched-up-grex-oil-filter-relocation-kit-r32-gtr/#findComment-3875874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 yeah that one is stock! except you have the wrong battery (terminals the wrong way around, and larger posts than standard so the cables don't fit properly). You really should not drive it around like that it is in danger of coming loose/shorting/burning the car to the ground. what holds the other side of the oil filter relocator in place? one side has a bracket going to the strut tower, but what supports the other?
