the filter relocator kits dont change the way stock cooler is plumbed. you just screw the sandwich plate into the block and run the lines to the relocator which most people put on the rhs strut tower

Put a Plastic bag over it :yes: ,

its not hard when you do that :thumbsup: ,

This method also works on ugly chicks.......

The plastic bag trick never worked for me, I still always ended up with oil all over the place. Oil filter relIcation kit makes it so much easier and cleaner.

Isent a PM but just realized that you cant PM yet. I relocated my filter to the D/S strut tower and moved the fuel filter back when fitting the F/F plenum and front mount. I also incorporated sensors in the lines for oil pressure and temperature gauges.

I have Relocation kit & kept stock filter too,

I PLASTIC BAG FILTER & put rag on top of diff & its ok no oil sitting there,

& i use New Fitler on Engine & move old filter to relocation,

as i run 20,000 per oil change & change filter at 10,000,

My Oil cooler has Thermostat in it,

best buy kits from states as most double there money on any kit brought here in Australia,

you can get adaptor with Thermostat in it ,

i priced a inline thermostat here & was quoted $120+,

got one from states for $45 usd,same price as TRANSMISSION FILTER KIT,

as you see both are in same spot ,

Run a good size oil line too,not a small line as you want good flow to any filter,

Cheer`s Chuckie.

yeh if someone finds a good quality good priced kit to suit, let me know. i did my first change on it about a month ago and couldnt believe how tricky it was to get in there and then the mess ensued.

relocation kit would be awesome and allow you to run an even bigger filter if you wanted.

Be careful with the Greddy kits - the lines on the one I got were way to short for the application. Do a check fit before you actually put it in, and go get some more line if you need it.

cable ties.... Make sure you fasten it with cable ties.

P.S. May stop breathing.

The lines on my Greddy kit were a bit short for my liking. I have bolted the bracket under the fuel filter bracket. Still nice & easy to get to.

Pics aren't the best, will take a better one on my day off.

The only problem with this is it makes the dipstick a pain in the arse to get to. I initially did it this way, but got the shits, cause I check my oil daily.

Getting new hose (not braided, but then again, I'm not a bling king, and I'm not running stupid pressure through it) cost me $30, including the 4 hose clamps that i needed.

Edit: Noticed that you're using an OX-03 filter in there as well, the relocation kit is actually designed to take an OX-02, slightly bigger.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
