damn you i just had to cut down on spending and you come up with this.

Ok, questions, will they produce a relocator kit, i know i can buy elsewhere, but getting one from the same provider as the kit and lines and of equivalent quality is a big plus to me, if they'll make a kit as an option i'm sure there will be plenty of interest.

Second, once this GB ends can i still nag you for a kit like i did for the brake lines??

Ok I will find out about the relocater.

Also found out about the sandwich plate. Because the sandwich plate has the built in thermosat there is no room for extra sensor locations. Makes sense as the only ones I have seen with the ports for sensors are non thermostatic.

Depends if this one goes ahead I suppose. So far the interest is a lot less than I was epecting.

I'm damn interested - but as I just spent (what I consider) a small fortune on new rims, I'm not sure I have the funds available right now to buy it. Annoying as I'd been pricing up parts for an oil cooler kit recently (earls core, greddy sandwich plate w/thermostat, braided lines, etc) - worked out around $600 - so this would be significantly cheaper... *sighs*

Excellent :)

Amazed people aren't jumping onto this. Doubt you can get a better oil cooler kit for under $1000 and given most of those under $1000 don't have a thermostat in them.

Put me down for a 19 row kit please :)

Or should I go 25 row? It will be going on a ~250rwkw RB25 R32, street driven 99.9999% of the time, but I live in an area which gets up to 45 degrees in the summer...

Yeah.

Also, since the sandwich plate doesn't have ports on it, where can I tap these from? Or do I run an additional sandwich plate to get the ports?

As in what can you put additional sensors onto? Well basically the best option would be to run a remote filter relocation kit and run extra sensors of that.

I emailed Hel regarding the remote oil filter relocation kits as to how much extra they would be. So will see what they say.

If it fits without needing an engineering degree or cutting then I'm in for a 25 row. I already have an oil relocation kit, would this bolt on to it then? Perfect it it would.

It's all good with a thermostat but what temp does the thermostat kick in at?

The thermostat opens up at a good temperature of 80 degrees.

:)

The fitting shouldn't be that hard. Like I said I will do a DIY for fitment into the drivers side duct.

As to the fitment of your current relocater kit, it just goes in line with the oil cooler kit. So basically any relocater kit fits (might just need two different sized fittings).

Yeah. See what HEL say about the relocator, keen to hear.

i'll grab a 19row kit phil.

doing the rb20/30 oil block is the way to go. for extra sensors just use a brass adaptor where the factory sensor is.

Thanks, missed the 80degrees comment watching Erics wakefield vids :) A good temp, those at 60 are just too low.

Looing forward to the DIY, and will hopefully fit the larger one as well.

I would love one but I have just bought an Earls thermostat for $200 and a relocation thingy just need the 19 row core. If anyone already has a core and just wants the rest of the kit Ill buy the core off them! Seatrab and Mocal are top brands.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
