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?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
