Wogpsi - are you sure l can run oil drain to oil filter sandwich plate adaptor? Because even on the website it says it's pressurized and that's only for oil feed not oil drain? or am l wrong

So, after a bit of searching, ive found that any RB block off sandwich plate will work (the GREX greddy ones look pretty decent), if you remove that threaded part that sticks out (which attaches to the standard oil filter) and use a gasket (justjap or nissan have them). Seems interesting that nissan left the 4 bolt holes for the RB25/26 sandwich plates on the casting for the RB30 block.. http://justjap.com/store/product.php...cat=265&page=3 (http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18637&cat=265&page=3) Thats the easy way if you want to run a return there using an RB25/26 sandwich plate. Otherwise you can use one of these if you have an external pump http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/UNIVERSAL...#ht_2378wt_861 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/UNIVERSAL-OIL-FILTER-RELOCATION-KIT-OIL-FILTER-COOLER-SANDWICH-PLATE-ADAPTER-/260917106482?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cbfdf1732#ht_2378wt_861)
