advice on mk1 ET oil filter mounting

[umpkin]

if thats the only bit you need, why not order it from nissan, prolly cheaper than whole block.

no use if your in a hurry, but im looking to out my mk1 engine for a mk2 one when money is there for me to do it, so ill have one to get rid then, but i dont suspect it will be for a while as my company has just made a few layoffs, so no overtime to provide extra cash.

northerner has one for me too, hes only 5 mile down the road, so frustrating that i cant just go get it

hopefully my manager has a meeting on monday, if we get the contract, we have lots of work again instead of the "get us by" we have atm.

bit of an update on this.

i managed to get a mk1 silvia threaded oil cooler tube of Doski (cheers ) but it doent have the threaded adaptor for the block and not sure even if it did it would retro fit to the MK2 block anyway, so i improvised.

this is a threaded adaptor with a thread to match the block one side and the threaded cooler tube the other



next step is your choice.
if dumping the oil/waetr cooler, then a sandwhich plate with balcnking cover to go to a remote filter and seperate oil/air cooler (mocal 13row or similar) can be fitted.



if you want to retain the oil/water cooler like i do, you will need a different tubular adaptor than the mk1 silvia as its too long. going to source a shorter one, so will keep you posted.




gives a bit more room in that area and reduces the weight (both helpful on my car )
