Sim Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 hey guys - do you know of a oil filter relocation kit that bolts directly to the VH45 block instead of screwing into the oil filter mount like most do? neither the filter, nor the mount fit, so I have to remove the mount entirely, and bolt some hoses to the block. I'm thinking about cutting the existing mount, and threading in some hoses. thoughts? thanks, Sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pictures of the clearance issue? I'm waiting on some oil pan modifications before I can start hoisting the engine in and out..

Sim Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hey Tyler; I'll let you know how it goes, and submit pictures. I've already unbolted the oil filter mount, and cut it in half, a couple inches away from the block-side ports. This gives about an inch for NPT (tapered pipe) threads. I picked up two 3/8" NPT elbows to thread into the block-side, and two, 2-foot long, 1/2" hydraulic hoses with 3/8" NPT fittings on both ends. It is a restriction, but I think (hope) it'll be ok. If its not, I'll have to think of something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler031734 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hey Sim. Any luck with the oiling block issue? I'd like to see a few pictures, if you have any. On a side note. I'm looking for a q45 oil pan. Anyone have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO240Z Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi, What is the new price on the oil block? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraz Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 i think 200 shipped is the new price? a fair bit of design went into these. I have one on my vh into datsun cedric project which has very little room between the block and chassis rail and with 2 90deg fittings the hoses come out right next to the block.

SHO240Z Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 i think 200 shipped is the new price? a fair bit of design went into these. I have one on my vh into datsun cedric project which has very little room between the block and chassis rail and with 2 90deg fittings the hoses come out right next to the block. FraZ, what oil filter relocator kit did you use? I bought the block on ebay. wondering if I need to go with a -12 orb to -10 orb reducer. only reason I say this is cause most of the universal kits seem to be -10an. greatly appreciate your advice. I know this bottle necks it and would negate the fact that it starts as a -12 but id like to hear your setup. mine is going in a 240Z swap.

b20vtechb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I use the C&R racing bypass oil filter mount. You can usually find them used on eBay for around 100-200$ depending on the condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
