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?

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
