Hi team. Few questions.

I have already a few parts from an old car.

http://www.frsport.c...ts_p_15182.html

http://www.frsport.c...at_p_12814.html

and some lines.

Now i have the R33.

What is the part that i need to go on the engine block where the filter would normally sit?

On the sr I had this:

http://www.frsport.c...ors_p_2572.html

but cant seem to find a similar item for the RB.

Is there a similar item or a screw on type i can use?

guys. As per my above post.

Is this the part that will screw on to the block so i can then run the rest of my existing oil cooler/relocation set up?

http://www.rhdjapan....er-type-f-26621

As you can see it says there are different centre bolts and what not.

"center bolt, side union, 1/8 plug union x2, and a 60mm diameter O-ring. There are many sizes so please choose the one that best fits your vehicle and specify upon purchase"

Or do i need the 62mm one?

What part number would i need for my R33 GTsT?

Thanks.

Hey mate.

The stock oil filter thread for RB25 is 3/4X16 UNF, the seal diameter is 63mm, (off the measurements of a Z145A):

http://www.rycofilte...l+GQ/part/Z145A

The differing end parts in that link are the size of the holes for the lines to run off, ie. if you have -10AN lines, buy an adapter to accept -10AN lines, based on this you'd want part no.

12401131, only problem is that the seals 3mm smaller. I haven't had my oil filter off in a while so can't say if this would seal properly, so long as there's a machined flat surface 1.5 mm in from where the filter seal sits, that adapter would be fine.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Yes, the 62mm item would be best as .5mm smaller seal each side shouldn't affect anything.

Well if you want a good priced, quality oil cooler with a thermostat get the driftworks one then that leaves you with just a relocation plate and another line made which I think would be your cheapest option even say you got the driftworks oil cooler with thermostat which I think from memory is 2-300 then you can buy the jjr relocation kit you have linked for another 200 and you have all the plates and lines you need with one block plate leftover.

Has anyone had or know any one with experience with these Driftworks kits?

Im in the hunt for a kit aswell, these Driftworks kits seem to be pretty good quality but cant find any reviews...

There not china spec if thats what you want to know so you wont have problems with leaky fittings or anything. But in saying that i got a jjr oil cooler kit and cant fault it and really keeps temps down.

I found it was far cheaper to piece it together myself.

If you can be bothered. Figure out where you want the core, and work out the fittings you need.

That driftworks one looks good, but at 450pounds, its close to 1k delivered! Better off getting a car specific Jap branded one wouldnt you?

I just looked at the hel kit with thermostatic sanga plate. buy from hel uk site 460 AUD including postage. whole kit for r33 gts/r.

I bought one, i currently have a chinese cooler that never let me down... but i want thermostat now because i scrapped the factory oil heater :thumbsup:

Note postage is 5 days tops... Hel australia want 700+++.........

Cant go wrong imho...

Where did you find this sounds perfect to me. I have tried looking around an the HEL websites only have motorbike related oil cooler kits?

It works out to be $756.88 AUS delivered which is still a fair bit less then the Jap ones i have seen and it is a specific kit for the r33, still shopping around atm though , if i can find a good quality jap cooler kit for around the same dough ill no doubt buy it.

Ended up getting a basic cooler kit and the Greddy thermostat and relocator.

Quick question, on the picture below, what is the gold-colored bung directly opposite the "from engine" fitting? Could an oil temp gauge be fitted in there with the right adapter? I know the 1/8 NPT on next to it is designed for a gauge.

Looking at the plate I have, he bung mentioned goes into the gallery for the oil filter center/return (if that makes sense) before it goes over the thermostat. Is it simply a machining hole etc?

http://i2.frsimg.com/images/detailed_images/Greddy_12401114_01b.jpg

Yeah the little grub screw on the very end is a 1/8 pressure or temp sensor point.

The big gold one is the same but you need to use this adapter to convert to 1/8.

Cheers!

I knew about the 1/8 item, but there's no mention in any of the ads etc about the -10 fitting (just tried it with one of the others for the lines)

I'd imagine so long as the sensor doesn't interfere with oil flow it wouldn't affect it...

Sorry man, didnt read this post again. Go to http://www.helcarkits.co.uk/

Pay with paypal. I retract about 5 days postage though lol im still waiting as customs knocked it back the first time

I have all the gear - sandwich plate, relocating plate. thermostat, cooler - no one has mentioned a non-return valve. Do people use these? If your components are all above the level of the sandwich plate I presume all the oil (except that in the cooler depending on its orientation) will drain back to the sump when the motor is switched off. Is this not an issue?

If you are trying to save dollars then personally I would dump the idea of running a thermostat. Nowhere in Aus is cold enough to justify needing one. Especially since most of us will idle the car for 30seconds and drive the car lightly for the first few minutes which means low road speed and bugger all airflow through the cooler.

I have run without an oil cooler for 11 years on my R32 and no stress. I live on the East cost including areas like Richmond NSW and CBD Melbourne.

I'm the same. but I left the oil water cooler in. so if God forbid the oil got a couple of degrees colder than "optimum" the warmer warms it up.

Oil still works when us cool. And it will never get so cold as to be bad. Not possible.

Im not trying to save dollars as I already have all the gear - my question was do people fit a non-return valve to their oil cooler and/or filter relocation kits?

And on the question of running a thermostat - the theory is that you use a grade of oil that is suitable for the 95% of the time that a mainly street car like mine is doing daily duties but the thermostat opens the cooler when hammering it on the track - very little to do with ambient temps.

And by this week, i meant a few months. Coolers been on the car and operational for 6+ months now and had no problems. From memory it worked out around the $650 mark delivered for the cooler kit with lines, core and take-off, and the Greddy relocation plate.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
