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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
