Well I've got my Rb25 on the engine stand I figure I'd remove the water oil cooler so I can just mount my oil cooler re locator straight to the block, I know that I need to remove the current stud in the RB25 and replace it with a Oil Filter Stud from a L28 Motor found in the 280z , Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get one of these Stud/Threads , Only place I've found to order them from is in the states and I'm looking at $35 with postage for a simple stuf worth a few bucks.

So does anyone know a part number for this and if so can I get it from Nissan

Or

Does anyone know a place that sells parts from old Z series engines where I could grab this.

I'm sure there are plenty people out there that have removed this pretty useless part from the engine, if I can't find one here, i'll drop the 35 to grab one from the states, its not so much the cost as the time waiting on postage I can't be bothered with.

Thats correct.

Im doing the same thing. Just order one from Nissan. I have. $9 fom memory.

Jf you delete the cooler, you must use a Z418 oil filter, or depending how your filter sits, a Z632 which doesnt have an anti drain back valve.

Im gonna use the Z632.

You need to use one of these filters as when you delete the oil cooler, you delete the bypass valves as well. Z145A doesnt have the bypass valve. Z418 & Z632 do.

is there a reason why you're removing it?

the water/oil heat exchanger is great for warming up the oil and keeping at a decent temperature rather than under cooling it :blush:

Id be guessing hes probably going to be running an external oil cooler which really doesnt have the issue or being to cold if its a track car and thermostat if for street.

Does the rb20 filter mount have the relief valves??

No, does not. Hence why you must use a Z418 or Z632 filter.

and are they 85psi ones?

Incorrect, the ball bearing relief valves are set to a low pressure, something around 5 - 10PSI.

Got a New Oil Filter Stud from Nissan today, one from a RB30, when in prefect.

For those wanting to know, car is track only, running a oil cooler which will do much better then the oil to water cooler this way I've removed plenty of the water lines and got more room.

As for you GT-T1998, you can basically do the same thing, the block on the RB25Neo is pretty much the same, the thread will be exact same, so just go to nissan and ask for a Oil Filter Stud from a RB30, I can post part number up later, cost me $19, Will be worth it.

My car is a street car and I have a leaking water hose under there some where and I want to get rid of some hoses so Im bypassing it with out an external cooler, I can't see there being that much of a problem but just in case i will be fitting a sandwich plate with an oil temp and pressure gauges, just wondering if the sandwich plate will fit with the cooler left in place, if so Im assuming I just use the standard filter, if not I just use one of the filters mentioned above?

ohk .. so i can mount the oil filter stud from a rb30 straight onto the block? kinda like the rb20 mount?

do you have a image of it ?

is it as easy as putting an rb20det oil filter housing on ... ive had 2 of them so far both been cracked then went to another wrecker today and he had 1 with a crack in it to seems like no1 has them and its 15days for nissan to order 1 in from japan for 140bucks which i think is an ok price but my cars been off the road for 11days i want to try and have it fixed :( miss driving it .

i seen on a post today someone put the big gold plug from the stock cooler onto a sandwich plate.. is that necessary what is it?

Any chance of getting that part number, went in to get one today and they told me that its a whole unit not just the stud.

Another part i will be changing because of the removal of the heat exchanger is the fitting at the back of the block, on the 25 it has a straight pipe that comes out, a hose then joins that to another bit of pipe that has pipes for the throttle body hose and heat exchanger hose and a bracket to mount it to the back of the manifold, if you use the one off the rb30 it is just the main pipe with a pipe running off that for the hose to the throttle body, much easier then the 25 set up, the part number is NI-14075-42L01 price was $59.10, not cheap but well worth it instead of dodgy fixes i think.

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
