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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
