R32 Gtr Oil Filter relocation Kit

My oil pressure and temperature gauges finally came in. I want to order an oil filter relocation kit to make things easier for the install, and oil changes,

It seems the only one that is available is a Greddy. Looking at it, the lines look flimsy and the fitting are not -AN, do not really like the hose clamps.

Any suggestions?

 

TIA!

Just buy the components and build your own.

Exactly what I would prefer to do. -AN fittings and lines is not a problem, where can I find the Piece that goes onto the block and the piece the oil filer mounts to ?

Mocal will have what you need;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MOCAL-3-4UNF-REMOTE-OIL-FILTER-KIT-FIESTA-ESCORT-RS-TURBO-MONDEO-ZETEC-16V-FK0-/122005979225?fits=Plat_Gen%3ARB_&hash=item1c681f8059:m:mpAz1xrw7qDumQk5SWS9UmA

In NZ I would just go to a speed shop and pick out what I want - guess it depends where you are.

Thanks for the link. But that seems also to be a "kit". Is there somewhere I can buy just the two plates?

Unfortunately "speed shops" do not really exist in the states any more. 99% is online! Horrible, I know.

 

Thanks

Thanks for suggesting the Mocal, Probably what I will be going with.

For sure do not want something that can destroy my motor, coming from china.

The eBay link did although contain something that made me curious, it listed bolt patterns,

" 6, 0.875” x 12.125” Bolt Pattern;
  7, Fitment: 3/4"X16UNF or M20x1.5 Thread "

So basically this means I can get a brand name oil filter relocation kit from a different model car as long as it has this bolt pattern and fitment? Correct?

Thanks again.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
