the filter relocator kits dont change the way stock cooler is plumbed. you just screw the sandwich plate into the block and run the lines to the relocator which most people put on the rhs strut tower

Used to do that with the Rb30 in my old r31 wagon, definitely makes less mess.

This method also works on ugly chicks.......

The plastic bag trick never worked for me, I still always ended up with oil all over the place. Oil filter relIcation kit makes it so much easier and cleaner.

Isent a PM but just realized that you cant PM yet. I relocated my filter to the D/S strut tower and moved the fuel filter back when fitting the F/F plenum and front mount. I also incorporated sensors in the lines for oil pressure and temperature gauges.

I have Relocation kit & kept stock filter too,

I PLASTIC BAG FILTER & put rag on top of diff & its ok no oil sitting there,

& i use New Fitler on Engine & move old filter to relocation,

as i run 20,000 per oil change & change filter at 10,000,

My Oil cooler has Thermostat in it,

best buy kits from states as most double there money on any kit brought here in Australia,

you can get adaptor with Thermostat in it ,

i priced a inline thermostat here & was quoted $120+,

got one from states for $45 usd,same price as TRANSMISSION FILTER KIT,

as you see both are in same spot ,

Run a good size oil line too,not a small line as you want good flow to any filter,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

yeh if someone finds a good quality good priced kit to suit, let me know. i did my first change on it about a month ago and couldnt believe how tricky it was to get in there and then the mess ensued.

relocation kit would be awesome and allow you to run an even bigger filter if you wanted.

Be careful with the Greddy kits - the lines on the one I got were way to short for the application. Do a check fit before you actually put it in, and go get some more line if you need it.

cable ties.... Make sure you fasten it with cable ties.

P.S. May stop breathing.

The lines on my Greddy kit were a bit short for my liking. I have bolted the bracket under the fuel filter bracket. Still nice & easy to get to.

Pics aren't the best, will take a better one on my day off.

The only problem with this is it makes the dipstick a pain in the arse to get to. I initially did it this way, but got the shits, cause I check my oil daily.

Getting new hose (not braided, but then again, I'm not a bling king, and I'm not running stupid pressure through it) cost me $30, including the 4 hose clamps that i needed.

Edit: Noticed that you're using an OX-03 filter in there as well, the relocation kit is actually designed to take an OX-02, slightly bigger.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
