stagea one is better. no cooler or should i say warmer... ideal for a relocator conversion. but the new ones are all aluminuim. early ones (one of a motor) has a steel thread.

or if you want a rb20 one is better again. but straight out of the block, not angled. new ones have a steel thread. but you have to use a toyota filter (z418) or any with a relief valve in it)

I have several laying around my shed you can have one for free if you are going to use one. They are pretty useless and you would be better off with a relocation kit and aftermarket oil cooler but as i said if you do want to use a factory one you can have one for free just pay the freight or if you are on the gold coast or brissy area just pm me and you can pick one up.

jJust to clarify when you guys say to get rid of it and fit a relocator and external cooler dont they replace just the filter and is there a housing off a different rb that still has both the pressure and temp fittings? I there any kind of aftermarket cooler that replaces just the heat exchanger part and leaves all the other bits exactly the same? Obviously you would have to jump the coolant line back into itself.

what about (factory oil coolers) my 1993 gtr has an oild cooler mounted in the front passenger side vent... is this a factory setup??

i was wondering about it???

cheers

Not factory, the factory oil cooler (oil/water heat exchanger is a more accurate description of it's function) is as what the the picture suggests, attached to the block.

Oil cooler kits found on the passenger side behind the front bumper are aftermarket ones.

The oil cooler shown above is as much an oil warmer as anything. It does very little to keep the oil cool. It is not uncommon for the part to fail also.

So the question is - is there an aftermarket part that replaces the oil cooler bracket in the diagram at the top and removes the oil cooler/warmer as fitted by Nissan?

Yeah i hear ya,

but what i mean is, alot of the Nismo equipment is offered on a new purchase.. so essentially its a"factory"option. Note the quotations.

And i dont believe there is a bolt on replacement for the factory oil warmer/cooler.

The RB20 doesn't have the factory oil warmer, so the taking the mount from it (housing, bracket? im not sure what the name of it is) is popular when you have an A/M oil cooler.

$120 fron nissan for a rb20 one.

unbolt your oil cooler/filter housing and bolt the 20 one in its place. use a z418 filter, not the genuine nissan 145 as you no longer have a relief valve.

(rb20 has it on the block, where as rb25/26 has that part blocked off and instead has them in the oil cooler/filter housing)

if you are using a remote filter, put the oil pressure sensor in it there, and lengthen the wiring to it. if not then use the 1/8 npt port to the rear of where the filter/cooler housing bolts on to the engine. (at about cylinder 5 along the block)

nismo has a replacement housing, but its like $1000. it has 2 -12an fittings where the cooler sits.

also nismo has a oil cooler kit, said housing, with a custom aircon condensor with a 25 row oil cooler integrated into it. i have one in my garage. i had the brocher for it but i lost it. was an option for the aussie deliverd ones.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
