240Z_Master Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 This "kit" does not include the lines. I would source my own components' date=' but I'm have a hard time figuring out which adapter to get. Do you know which adapter I should be getting?[/quote'] It does include lines, but is it the correct length for a 240/260? Thats what I meant you should build a kit yourself to your own specs.

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Do you know what adabter I would need? Ed, there is a thread here in the RB section where we talked about this. The thread size and pitch was given, and if I remember, even a summit or jegs part#. I can't remember what it was or I'd just tell you.... sorry..

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Well, thought I'd update the oil pan thread.... Here is a shot of the finished pan, showing the right rear passenger side, with the -12 pick up line on the botton, and the head drain mod -12 line above it. I finally started up the motor, and had instant 60 lbs preasure @ idle... clickit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 a friend of mine usually sources his oil coolers from ebay, look for re-stocked Nascar parts. some are from nascar teams that only get used for one or two races. When they replace the engine, the usually replace the oil coolers and everything having to do with internal fluids and such, apparently. So far, every single one he's gotten has been in about 98% factory new condition. one had a honkin huge wasp that was left in there, even for transportation. LOL. you would think they would clean it before shipping, but noooooooooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinjitter Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I have a remote filter locater and oil cooler setup on my vehicle. It was made by trust/grex. There arent any part numbers on it, but it is the four line setup like on the first page of threads. I am sure this trust/grex part is easy to locate on rinkya. Pics... If anyone needs more pics, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strokerzedd Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Referring to your initial query, I've installed an external oil cooler in my '72 240z in addition to the stock water cooled oil cooler with oil filter adapter. The dealer accidently ordered a 19" wide 3 row rad instead of a 21" and I couldn't return it so I built a rubber mounted oil cooler bracket into the rubber mounted rad mount. I built a rad shroud for the electric rad fan so I think that I'll have adequate cooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac708 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 WOW! nice recovery to a problem. I would have never thought of putting the cooler over there. Nice fab skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rowe Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Stroker I notice that you have the same problem as me with the offtake for the aircleaner on the front turbo - have you any ideas on how to deal with re-routing the pipework to sort this? I have the rear turbo aircleaner sorted very easily but the front one, the flange off the turbo is going to have to be completely refabricated (in original fitment faces straight to the side of the engine bay). I am going to see if I can get a generic flange and then weld on pipework coming straight out to the front whilst missing the aircond pump. What are you going to do?

strokerzedd Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Mike, I've only briefly looked at it. I broke my leg and ankle a month ago and it's slowed all aspects of my life down considerably! I contemplated cutting the stock base plate and fabricating a straight tube forward but the allen screw that holds the plate on the engine side is recessed and won't be accessible. I'm not sure what others do. Perhaps fabricating a short 2" long pipe that allows access to both allen bolts and then using a silicone adapter to the join another pipe to the air cleaner is the answer. I found the photo below that shows a straight pipe, so it's possible. I've collected a library of photos off the net showing every aspect of other peoples builds but it's funny the close up details you need you never find, that's why I've tried to post detailed photos of my build as it progresses.

Mike Rowe Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Stroker sorry to hear about the leg! Thanks for the photo which shows it can be done. Was this someone off the web, that I could contact? I also have gallons of photos, but the same issue & no one describes the aircleaners. On my website it is details like this that I go through step by step. Keep in touch and we will see what each of us comes up with. I hope the osteoblasts & osteoclasts do their job well on your leg! regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strokerzedd Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Here are more photos from the same car, it's from your hemisphere if that helps. I also found a flange that someone fabricated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rowe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Do you think that flange is for the front turbo aircleaner or something else? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 mike if i remember correctly i got my hands on an other rear inlet and capped off both blowoff connections. But i ran open turbos most of the time. Try putting the rear inlet on heont turbo and see how it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rowe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 What a great idea Stony!!! I will try that out and let you know Thanks greatly regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rowe Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well Stony was dead right. I tried the rear turbo aircleaner fitting on the front turbo and voila that should do the trick - now I just need to find one. Lots of people take off the twin turbos to use a single so ther must be some lying around - any HybridZ members in OZ have one? See below Compare front & rear turbo fittings, rear turbo fitting now fitted to front turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
