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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
