The guys that fitted my oil filter relocation kit put it in front of the dipstick on a homemade bracket (flat bar) becuase they reckon they couldn't close the bonnet on the filter.

If someone has one fitted properly to a BNR32 could yous please upload a photo of the filter location on the strut tower plus another where the pipes are run (mine are rubbing on the plenum and that can't be good.

Any advice on a suitable filter to use (the guys chucked the installation manual which had the sizes etc on it )

Thanks! :P:worship::(:worship::)

Im about to install mine. I had planned to attach the filter mount to the side of the chassis rail to enable filter changes from below with no mess. I'd be interested in seeing where your cooler core is located. I still have the stock blow off valves so i was planning to put it in front of the radiator.. Where is yours?

hmm lots of changes in that engine bay. boost controller and coil thingy normally lives there. and hicas solenoids. no room unless you've removed them all

I was hoping that was the case - my engine bay is a lot busier - also I don't remember there being right angle connectors (I think mine are straight in) so may not be a Grex kit?

I don't have the oil cooler or other go-hard parts (running std boost) so a stock pic would be perfect....

Yeah I relocated the HICAS....to the bin lol. I'll tidy it up when I do the rebuild...battery to go in the boot. I wouldnt worry about it being legit, it will be...show us a pic.

Heres a pick of the front mount...a little twisting required to fit.

thats pretty much how mine is setup..oil relocator n cooler

Heres mine... I use a genuine nissan filter on it

Yours seems to be the same - the restrictor unit and other stuff has been removed/relocated.

I think they've shortened the oil cables/sheaths as well (!)

Here's what my (rather pathetically stock) engine bay looks like:

Does ne1 have a stock engine bay?

There also seems to be something missing - there's a bracket on the tower with nothing on it.....???

yeah that one is stock! except you have the wrong battery (terminals the wrong way around, and larger posts than standard so the cables don't fit properly). You really should not drive it around like that it is in danger of coming loose/shorting/burning the car to the ground.

what holds the other side of the oil filter relocator in place? one side has a bracket going to the strut tower, but what supports the other?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
