Can you please try them for just a 19 row core posted to NZ (should be much the same price as Australia) ? I can pay you or them direct whatever suits.

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

Ok regarding the relocater. They have looked into getting a Mocal relocater as part of the kit a little while ago and never heard back from Mocal. So they will suss it out again and get back to me. Might be an option for a seperate group buy later if it will be a while off. Anyway i'll update on this as I find out more.

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.

Ah yeah didn't really think about using an adaptor of some sorts. Good idea. (Not that I currently need the extra sensors, but others do). Added to the list man.

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.

Yeah I was quite happy at the 80 degrees. Exactly like you said, the ones around that 60 degre mark aren't really best suited for a street car. Also added to the list.

I'll see what I can do. Perhaps if the relocater kits get done seperately, we can do like a mix and match parts list aswell or something. I'll update on this aswell.

Bah! Put me down for one, I'll find the money somehow :P

19 row or a 25 row? :)

Very interested in an oil filter relocator aswell. :yes:

Yeah I think I might go one aswell. The stock position really is a pain in the ass, especially with a big Plazmaman plenum in the way.

Called into the local stockist (Alert Engineering) to price the 19 row Seatrab - around NZ$500 incl tax!!! They used to stock Mocal as well but he claims that they are now Chinese manufactured and not up to scratch!? BTW he also recommends 25row for 300kw up.

WhiteR33GTS-T said on the first page that he wanted everything but the core. Perhaps chat with him and organise something with you two getting one kit and splitting it between you two.

No idea about some Mocal parts being Chinese manufactured. Wouldn't suprise me though, what isn't made in China? There is a difference with a company getting something manufactured in China (like 99% of companies) and a Chinese company manufacturing parts.

EDIT: Just did a quick Google search and found that in house engineering, design and manufacturing gets done at Mocal's premises at Isleworth UK. So no idea about the China reference. Perhaps only some parts are made there.

So is the relocator just for convenience only? Also were you able to confirm how long the lines will be? I'm planning on mounting it on the passenger side at the front.

Also with the stock cooler plate that the water coolant runs through, i thought i read somewhere it was to also help bring the oil up to temperature when cold, or is this incorrect?

Yep relocater is just for convenience only.

Lines will be 2m. Passenger side duct is probably the only place that 2m might not be enough so if you want more lines let me know and I can see if your kit can get a bit more (possibly at a small cost, maybe $10-$20).

Yeah stock cooler plate also warms the oil up a bit when completely cold by using coolant. This is because coolant warms up at a quicker rate than the oil. I suppose this is one of those things every one can personally decide on if they want to get rid of it. Since I live in a hot climate for me it isn't a concern and hence I will be removing the whole thing.

cant believe im only seeing this now.... Im in :) that makes it 10 too I think :)

I guess ill go the 19row as 25 will be overkill for a fairly standard rb25 thats tracked every couple of months... right?

Yeah 19 row will be fine.

Most Japanese oil cooler cores are a lot smaller than these things and a lot of cars run them.

Addded to the list.

There really is no maximum numbers for the group buy since they are all getting sent out individually, but I think I might cap it at 15 at this stage so we can get the ball rolling.

If the total length is 2m i'll measure up over the weekend and get back to you. Do you think there would be a downside to running longer lines? Just wondering if there is a reason they only supply 2m.

Just means you will put a little bit more oil in.

I guess because most people install them on the drivers side or in the middle so 2m is usually enough and doesn't mean you have heaps of extra lines going every where.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
