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?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
