Hi,
I have a RD28T engine from an early Y60 1994 Nissan Patrol that im using in a project.
I would really like to add an external oil cooler to it,
As you will all know it takes that bastard Z416 oil filter with the 1X12TPI thread filter,
This means there seems to be no options to add a sandwich plate, When i can get a hold of a spare oil filter/cooler housing i will try remove the filter thread and see if i can braze a new thread to it so i can then fit a sandwich plate.
Has anyone else added a cooler to their motors and done it a way im missing,
I don't think removing the complete cooler housing is a good idea as it also contains the bypasses this doesn't seem to worry the RB guys but i still like the idea of having a bypass,
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Im also really pushed for space in this area so wouldn't rule out a oil filter relocation kit. But that still leaves the above problems.
