R32 Gtr Oil Filter relocation Kit

My oil pressure and temperature gauges finally came in. I want to order an oil filter relocation kit to make things easier for the install, and oil changes,

It seems the only one that is available is a Greddy. Looking at it, the lines look flimsy and the fitting are not -AN, do not really like the hose clamps.

Any suggestions?

 

TIA!

Just buy the components and build your own.

Exactly what I would prefer to do. -AN fittings and lines is not a problem, where can I find the Piece that goes onto the block and the piece the oil filer mounts to ?

Mocal will have what you need;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOCAL-3-4UNF-REMOTE-OIL-FILTER-KIT-FIESTA-ESCORT-RS-TURBO-MONDEO-ZETEC-16V-FK0-/122005979225?fits=Plat_Gen%3ARB_&hash=item1c681f8059:m:mpAz1xrw7qDumQk5SWS9UmA

In NZ I would just go to a speed shop and pick out what I want - guess it depends where you are.

Thanks for the link. But that seems also to be a "kit". Is there somewhere I can buy just the two plates?

Unfortunately "speed shops" do not really exist in the states any more. 99% is online! Horrible, I know.

 

Thanks

Thanks for suggesting the Mocal, Probably what I will be going with.

For sure do not want something that can destroy my motor, coming from china.

The eBay link did although contain something that made me curious, it listed bolt patterns,

" 6, 0.875” x 12.125” Bolt Pattern;
  7, Fitment: 3/4"X16UNF or M20x1.5 Thread "

So basically this means I can get a brand name oil filter relocation kit from a different model car as long as it has this bolt pattern and fitment? Correct?

Thanks again.

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
