Does anyone know of a company that makes a oil filter block plate for the RB26?

I've searched around and havn't found any company that makes this, only oil filter relocation kits that bolt straight onto the warmer/cooler.

I want to run the lines straight out from the block to the filter/cooler.

starting to wonder why there arnt many companies making these for the rb26, maybe its not a good idea?? cant see any problem with it apart from the loss of the oil warmer and having to wait a little more time to let the oil warm up before driving...

I'm after a plate exactly like this one, made by Tomei for the SR20, but I'm obviously after one for rb26.. thanks

thanks guys for the info, I've got an aftermarket oil cooler and a oil filter relocation kit already.

I'm really just wanting to get rid of all of this and replace it with a plate on the block, then run the lines straight from that to the filter relocation plate / after market oil cooler.

I presume you mean like this RB26 in the photo below -

The above sandwich plate is a Mocal sandwich plate with a thread adaptor for the short block. I noticed it cost's roughly $20 USD

for the thread adaptor and $90 USD for the Mocal sandwich plate.

Oil relocation kit fits on top of sandwich plate, where oil filter goes on the sandwich plate and the lines from

side of sandwich plate go to oil cooler core.

Another way (I presume the way you want to do it) is to mount the Permacool (or Mocal) remote take off to the short block in place of the Mocal sandwich plate,

then run lines to remote filter plate. Then fit sandwich plate to where oilfilter goes on remote filter plate. Then oil lines from

side of sandwich plate to oil cooler core -

Hey, thanks all for all the great info!

I think I'll get the oil cooler adaptor type b from greddy http://www.trust-power.com/spec_swf/04cool...RepairParts.swf Has the sensor fittings that I need, but not sure on what thread or pitch yet :no:

I'm going to pull off all the stock oil cooler and see what I have to do to mount it there.... Does anyone know if I have to drill/tap a fitting in there? or does it already have a thread/fitting there?

Will see when I pull it all off I guess....

GeeTR: my car is more of a track car than street, I hardly ever drive it and when I do I warm it up before driving it anywhere.

There is a fitting already there thats o ringed to seal.

Ive used the trust ones from high octane, and also a factory one I modified on my own GTR.

Simplifies the water lines under the plenum somewhat which always makes it easier to work on.

Mate i have just done this mod to my R32 GTR i got a really well made (CNC) remote filter mount. You have to be careful of the diameter of the remote filter mount no more than 70mm or its to large to fit.

The factory oil water cooler will pull off after you remove the 4 mounting bolts / studs then you will be left with a fitting to suit the slide on factory oil water cooler. This you can remove by vice grips or such as it round with no flats to get a spanner on. this will leave you with a 20 x 1.5 thread which most sandwich plates or remote filter housing send with the kit.

I got this from Ebay and if your interested drop me a PM and i will give you the sellers details.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
