Hi all

I have recently fitted my oil cooler to my 32 GTR however something is not right.

Originally I hooked the lines up as such:

Inner Gallery on Block to Inner Gallery on Filter Relocator

Out Gallery on Relocator to Cooler

Cooler to Outer Gallery on Block

this resulted in oil coming up through the cooler into the outer gallery on the relocator (wtf?)

So after much ado and confusion and checking and rechecking, I in the end hooked the lines up as such:

Outer Gallery on Block to Inner gallery on Relocator

Outer Gallery on Relocator to Cooler

Cooler to Inner Gallery on Block

This has resulted in oil coming up through the inner gallery of the filter, where its supposed to come from AFAIK.

What is confusing me is that oil seems to be flowing the wrong way out of the block??? The oil is coming out of the outer gallery on the block which is just plain strange.

Is this how its supposed to be? Am I a dumbass? Can anyone provide any insight?

Thanks

Ian

Its the only way it can flow because of the rubber plate covering all the outer holes on the inside of the filter.

The oil pressure pushes the rubber out of the way and flows in through the filter element then out the centre hole.

I actually use a remote filter for scrubbing the oil mist out of the cam covers before going back in the intake box as per legal, but first put it around the wrong way and laid a smoke screen James Bond would have been proud of! Then I also drilled some holes in the rubber as well so no back pressure at all.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
