I have finally been able to change the oil myself after getting that three pronged rachet operated oil filter remover from Autobarn. Made a big mess taking the filter off, it's impossible not to make a mess.

Relocation kit would definitely be worth it.

Wonder if there was a sump plug relocation kit would be nice also, don't have to jack up the car :D

yeah pain in the ass removing my oil filter, had to pierce a screw driver through it and lever it off. got a replacement filter with a hex nut welded on the end (drift oil filer) hopefully that will make it easier next time... looking at a relocation kit though end all the problems.

I've been thinking of getting a relocator kit recently aswell. Did my filter change the other night and it's so much harder now with braided nitrous and fuel lines in the way (not to mention the Plazmaman plenum makes it a little harder over stock).

However where abouts are you guys moving them to? I kind of want it hidden away so you don't see it when you pop the bonnet, or atleast in a corner or something. Is there a good spot to mount it down low somewhere so you can access it underneath the car? Dads LS1 oil filter was in an awesome position directly underneath the car next to the sump.

I really want to move my fuel filter aswell, it's a bitch to get off and on in the position that it is in with braided lines.

Most GTR owners I know have it next to the battery area (and the same on r33/4's)

I know of one guy who had the filter down low on a custom bracket so that when it was on the hoist it was right next to the sump. Both spots worked fine.

PM elrodeo666 if you are looking for a GREX kit. He is in Japan currently and he could get you one cheaper than what Nengun sell them for.

He was going to one for me but i ended up getting one locally as i needed it fairly quickly.

So I've finally got around to getting the GREX relocation kit. Worked out to be about $260 delivered from Nungen. I didn't bother with getting the cooler kit

I've put most of the kit together now so it's ready to install. But I was looking around for where I should mount the bracket for the sandwich plate?

Does anyone have any photos or tips for installing theirs? I was thinking of mounting it just under next to the fuse box. But I might have to use some self-tappers to secure it?

The bracket included some bolts, so really it should be a full bolt-on kit right?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
