Well I've got my Rb25 on the engine stand I figure I'd remove the water oil cooler so I can just mount my oil cooler re locator straight to the block, I know that I need to remove the current stud in the RB25 and replace it with a Oil Filter Stud from a L28 Motor found in the 280z , Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get one of these Stud/Threads , Only place I've found to order them from is in the states and I'm looking at $35 with postage for a simple stuf worth a few bucks.

So does anyone know a part number for this and if so can I get it from Nissan

Or

Does anyone know a place that sells parts from old Z series engines where I could grab this.

I'm sure there are plenty people out there that have removed this pretty useless part from the engine, if I can't find one here, i'll drop the 35 to grab one from the states, its not so much the cost as the time waiting on postage I can't be bothered with.

Thats correct.

Im doing the same thing. Just order one from Nissan. I have. $9 fom memory.

Jf you delete the cooler, you must use a Z418 oil filter, or depending how your filter sits, a Z632 which doesnt have an anti drain back valve.

Im gonna use the Z632.

You need to use one of these filters as when you delete the oil cooler, you delete the bypass valves as well. Z145A doesnt have the bypass valve. Z418 & Z632 do.

is there a reason why you're removing it?

the water/oil heat exchanger is great for warming up the oil and keeping at a decent temperature rather than under cooling it :blush:

Id be guessing hes probably going to be running an external oil cooler which really doesnt have the issue or being to cold if its a track car and thermostat if for street.

Does the rb20 filter mount have the relief valves??

No, does not. Hence why you must use a Z418 or Z632 filter.

and are they 85psi ones?

Incorrect, the ball bearing relief valves are set to a low pressure, something around 5 - 10PSI.

Wondering if u guys could help me out .. I'm putting a oil cooler in my car with a grex sandwich plate and a new radiator .. I want to get rid of the oil to water cooler on my gt-t can I buy somthing to suit my block

Got a New Oil Filter Stud from Nissan today, one from a RB30, when in prefect.

For those wanting to know, car is track only, running a oil cooler which will do much better then the oil to water cooler this way I've removed plenty of the water lines and got more room.

As for you GT-T1998, you can basically do the same thing, the block on the RB25Neo is pretty much the same, the thread will be exact same, so just go to nissan and ask for a Oil Filter Stud from a RB30, I can post part number up later, cost me $19, Will be worth it.

My car is a street car and I have a leaking water hose under there some where and I want to get rid of some hoses so Im bypassing it with out an external cooler, I can't see there being that much of a problem but just in case i will be fitting a sandwich plate with an oil temp and pressure gauges, just wondering if the sandwich plate will fit with the cooler left in place, if so Im assuming I just use the standard filter, if not I just use one of the filters mentioned above?

ohk .. so i can mount the oil filter stud from a rb30 straight onto the block? kinda like the rb20 mount?

do you have a image of it ?

is it as easy as putting an rb20det oil filter housing on ... ive had 2 of them so far both been cracked then went to another wrecker today and he had 1 with a crack in it to seems like no1 has them and its 15days for nissan to order 1 in from japan for 140bucks which i think is an ok price but my cars been off the road for 11days i want to try and have it fixed :( miss driving it .

i seen on a post today someone put the big gold plug from the stock cooler onto a sandwich plate.. is that necessary what is it?

Any chance of getting that part number, went in to get one today and they told me that its a whole unit not just the stud.

Another part i will be changing because of the removal of the heat exchanger is the fitting at the back of the block, on the 25 it has a straight pipe that comes out, a hose then joins that to another bit of pipe that has pipes for the throttle body hose and heat exchanger hose and a bracket to mount it to the back of the manifold, if you use the one off the rb30 it is just the main pipe with a pipe running off that for the hose to the throttle body, much easier then the 25 set up, the part number is NI-14075-42L01 price was $59.10, not cheap but well worth it instead of dodgy fixes i think.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
