Oil Filter Relocation Adapter
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have a GTM/ Gamma stage 1 supercharger 370z ,which uses a oil filter relocation kit.

The oil filter adapter, connects to where the original filter is located on the block. The adapter has begun to leak so I want to replace the o rings / seals. I have contacted Gamma and they want $70.00 for the new seal set.
Seems like robbery.

I don't mind finding a different adapter but can not seem to locate what I'm looking for.
Looking for help in what brand and where to find a new adapter for the Z34.
Also, if anyone has an idea as to where to locate seals for the original adapter, that works also.

You might try giving fast intentions a call. I think they have a relocation adapter

What ticks me off is that , Gamma charges $45.00 for what is probably less than $10.00 retail for the seals and then they charge $25.00 to ship. Guess they don't understand how to repair their reputation.

Establish the size of the seal and go to seal/bearing joint and purchase one for 0.57c

These types of seal will be standard size. Usually in 5mm increments for overall diameter and 1mm increments for actual seal diameter ........ all you need is a set of calipers ....

This.

Just take the the whole thing with you, and have them measure the seals. These guys know what to measure. That way you can test fit it on the spot.

I have a mocal sandwich plate that I had previously installed b4 I installed the S.C . I pulled the seal off the mocal and the 2 seals are identical! Z1 sells the seals for 4 bucks plus shipping. Problem solved!!!

Wow..............Way to drag their peckers deeper into Shadyville. They have to be bleeding money now and sitting on a grip of inventory. I'd like to buy up their inventory and just sell the stuff at a reasonable price just to put them out of their misery. I wonder....

Thanks for this post - solved a major headache.
I'm based in South Africa and very few people have this kit let alone the serviceable parts. The o-rings are easy to find and play with, but that adapter-to-block seal is pretty much a custom part. Local import shop got out of GTM before the troubles (not want to open that again) and local Mocal importer only sells the full adapter. Unfortunately shipping is heavy - but beggars can't be choosers and Z1 still beats Gamma hands-down.
Thanks!
