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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
