I have finally been able to change the oil myself after getting that three pronged rachet operated oil filter remover from Autobarn. Made a big mess taking the filter off, it's impossible not to make a mess.

Relocation kit would definitely be worth it.

Wonder if there was a sump plug relocation kit would be nice also, don't have to jack up the car :D

yeah pain in the ass removing my oil filter, had to pierce a screw driver through it and lever it off. got a replacement filter with a hex nut welded on the end (drift oil filer) hopefully that will make it easier next time... looking at a relocation kit though end all the problems.

I've been thinking of getting a relocator kit recently aswell. Did my filter change the other night and it's so much harder now with braided nitrous and fuel lines in the way (not to mention the Plazmaman plenum makes it a little harder over stock).

However where abouts are you guys moving them to? I kind of want it hidden away so you don't see it when you pop the bonnet, or atleast in a corner or something. Is there a good spot to mount it down low somewhere so you can access it underneath the car? Dads LS1 oil filter was in an awesome position directly underneath the car next to the sump.

I really want to move my fuel filter aswell, it's a bitch to get off and on in the position that it is in with braided lines.

Most GTR owners I know have it next to the battery area (and the same on r33/4's)

I know of one guy who had the filter down low on a custom bracket so that when it was on the hoist it was right next to the sump. Both spots worked fine.

PM elrodeo666 if you are looking for a GREX kit. He is in Japan currently and he could get you one cheaper than what Nengun sell them for.

He was going to one for me but i ended up getting one locally as i needed it fairly quickly.

So I've finally got around to getting the GREX relocation kit. Worked out to be about $260 delivered from Nungen. I didn't bother with getting the cooler kit

I've put most of the kit together now so it's ready to install. But I was looking around for where I should mount the bracket for the sandwich plate?

Does anyone have any photos or tips for installing theirs? I was thinking of mounting it just under next to the fuse box. But I might have to use some self-tappers to secure it?

The bracket included some bolts, so really it should be a full bolt-on kit right?

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
