Thermostatic Cooler Kits, Single/dual Filter Relocation Kits


Recommended Posts

Guys

This is a group buy for filter relocation kits that can also be ordered with oil coolers and thermostats if required

Start date: 5/7/06

End date: 24/11/06

This kit enables you to do oil changes MUCH easier on RB motors by moving the oil filter to a spot of your choosing :)

The kits also fit SR20, FJ20 and CA18 motors for those of you with Silvias, DR30's etc etc

These kits are supplied from Melbourne (but made in USA), and all prices are delivered to your door

Heres a pic.....

For those that havnt seen these before, they replace the filter on the side of the block, and have lines running towards a mountable filter location, so they can be mounted on the strut tower, or where ever you would like them to be

Also ive been able to source dual filter kits, so at filter change time, you simply buy 2 filters and run them both - doubling your oil filtration

If using the genuine ones from places like justjap, your oil change would be only around $10 more

Oil cooler cores can be added also, a must for track cars, see below for pricing, and there is a pic below

They are a hard type core deisgn. Meaning the fins dont bend if hit by stones etc flung up from the road.

The fins are angled to flow air through the core most efficiently. The air is forced to flow through the hole core, unlike some where the air passes around and over, the only core on the market like that.

Core size

21cm high. 28.5cm wide, 3.5cm thick

Mounting brackets

25.5cm high 26cm wide

Thermostats can be added if required. When oil temperature exceeds 82°C the thermostatic valve closes, allowing 95% flow through the oil cooler. At temperatures below 82°C the valve is open, with 90% of the oil by-passing the cooler. The remaining 10% of the oil flows through the cooler, maintaining constant system pressure, preventing air pockets and eliminating cold oil shock. Flows up to 20 gallons per minute. Rated to 200 PSI. This means your setup will be the same as the big name Japanese brands (names like HKS include a thermostat).

Kits include everything needed to install to your car

Delivery time is 4-5 days from time of deposit

Very interesting... actually looking into one of these! Now just weighing up whether to get one from the JustJap Special or one of these!!!

Decisions decisions decisions!

If you intend on doing more track work you really do need an oil cooler

It figures out to be a little bit more than the justjap ones, BUT includes a thermostat for those cold days/nights

Damn, that oil cooler is nice and big. Also like the fact that it doesnt bend from stones hitting it etc.

I won't be in on this group buy (no $$$ :thumbsup:), but is there a chance that this may be running again?

I've just had a talk with the mechanics and this is definitely going to be purchased instead of the JJ cooler kit. Just the mention of B&M put a smile on their faces.

I'll be in on this group buy but closer to the next track day in October.

also guys. Running NO thermostat will mean there is HUGE strain on the oil pump when the oil is cold. meaning long trips on the freeway, and in the mornings it will kill the oil pump fast. and hope thats before the bearings die from thick cold oil hitting them=costly rebuilding...

also cheap 19row oil coolers are JUNK. i have seen countless amounts of them split under pressure. blowing apart and dumping oil all over the road, and leaving NO oil pressure for the motor. so here we come motor rebuild

Correct :D

Thats why this is a good core, not one of the cheap ones out there

It may be extended (just like the Sydney Window Tint group buy that Blitz organized) at the end, but there is a long time between start and finish mate ;)

Ok, just let me know and ill send it out

oooo so tempting but no cash, ill see what i can do

Yeah, i figured this may be the case for some people, so i made it a very long timeframe ;)

Is the end date 1/12/06 correct ? If it is im def getting one when my money start flowing again :(

Also how do the 'non-braided' hoses go for reliability ?

The hose is made by Goodyear, and is 5-6mm thick, and 3 layers - you wont have any issues :D

And order today, you will get it very soon, theres no waiting until the end of the group buy to get your purchase

whats the diff/advantages of a dual compared to a single filter kit?

With 2 filters you double the amount of filtration of your oil, disadvantages? each oil change costs an extra $10 for 2 filters instead of one

I measured out before and thought WOW. It is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper!

Had a look at the B&M website. Are you able to get the smaller 'high performance' oil coolers or is it only these ones?

Just don't think I need something THAT big.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
