Oil Filter Relocation Kit - R34 Gtt

[Kmac92]

Hey guys,

So i'm planning on purchasing an oil filter relocation kit. I have seen the trust/greddy ones going around but am unsure on the quality of them as the fittings they use on the hoses are hose clamp fittings as apposed to JIC (better seal, and have been told to use if i can) and the plate/adapter that goes where your oil filter is, screws on like a filter and i have heard these apparently leak?. Just after any experiences you guys have had with these kits or any recomendations on any particular kits.

I have found this one, not sure on it tho...

Heres the greddy kit im refering to.

I brought a universal one with 19 row oil cooler. Had no leaks where the adaptor joins to the block. Only leaks on the an10 fancy fittings. Changed to speed flow an all was good.

Also. Note for r33

Needs oil filter stalk from rb30/20 for adapter to mount

Oh yeh. So I looked at the universal one u posted. That's the exact one I got but came with the cooler.

I had leaks and when I rung 999 automotive

They sent out a whole new kit for free.

So they must be cheap. Anyway. That one leaked too. So ended up getting speed flow fittings. Cost me heaps.

And the filter is a honda filter. Z79a So throw any spare skyline ones u might have away

One more thing., more chances of leaks. Hoses everywhere, they look crappy orange. Hard to mount in the correct position. I'm not sure with yours but my oil pressure gauge had to be mounted there aswell and that was a cross threaded head ache. Re tap- leaking nightmare.

I hope I've talked you out of it.

When do you change your oil? 6 months?..

Get over it and leave it. I will take you 6 months to sort all the added problems.

Mount a oil cooler if your gonna touch anything around there.

Cheers for the reply/advice! Appreciate it heaps and Yeh I'm probably going to steer clear of that one what about the greddy / trust ones? Yeh I do change oil frequently.. But was interested in relocating filter to suit mods I plan on doing in the near future (forward facing plenum etc) obviously that'll affect the accessability of the filter.

Also I just recently purchased some new gauges which included oil temp and oil pressure and basically when I come to install them I figured I'll need to install them into a sandwich plate anyways so may aswell do it all together if that makes sense?
