From looking at the engine manual, it should be pretty close to the oil filter, just below and to the side judging by the picture...

by oil bypass filter do you mean relocating your oil filter? or something else. i would also imagine you would get a rather small flow through the hole that the pressure switch comes from... it's not really made to have oil flowing through it.

Thanks tiberis

There will be a T piece to connect a hose and the oil switch. I havent seen this yet. The bypass filter will be located up near the rhs front of the car, near the front springs

How small a hole do you think it is?

You now have me thinking and a little concerned.

The bypass filter is only designed to clean 10 % of the oil down to 1 micron.

Given your comments I can get an adapter plate to put on the existing oil filter location but it will be an extra $50.

Any idea of thread type of a standard oil filter for my skyline?

ahk, so you are going to be running 2 filters in parallel? never heard of this before but it does sound interesting.

if you only wanted a rather small flow i guess you could use it. but based on the oil pressure sensor on the CA18 engine (which is rather similar to that of the RB series) the actual fitting was no more than 1cm in diameter.

also, how are you putting the oil back into the system? are you just going to tap it up to the head somewhere or into the rocker covers? because on the normal filter, the centre hole is the return path into the engine.

yeah, i had a sandwich plate on my CA18 so i could tap in an oil temp sensor, i managed to pick mine up for $20 at a closing down sale though. might be worth looking through the for sale section on here though and see if you can find a 2nd hand one. they are more or less just a chunk of metal, so i doubt there would be much of a difference in age or condition.

and no, sorry, no idea on thread type.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
