GT1R Oil Filter Adaptor (WIX 51060XP Street Filter) Fits Nissan R35 GTR (VR38DETT)GT1R-OIL-FLT-CONV-WIX51060XP
The GT1R Oil Filter Conversion allows the use of a larger oil filter which allows the use of thicker oils typically used in racing engines where the factory filter becomes a notable restriction.
Description
GT1R Oil Filter Adapter
The OE Nissan and equivalent size oil filters are designed for lightweight oil, OE spec is 0w40. As the viscosity increases, which is common in high-performance rebuilds (GT1R engines are spec’d for 20w50 oil), the factory filter begins to become a restriction to the thicker oil.
Most filters have a bypass that opens around 10psi differential oil pressure. What this means is when the pressure on the inlet side of the filter becomes 10psi higher than the pressure on the outlet side of the filter, the bypass opens and you get unfiltered oil passing into the engine. This is bad for obvious reasons.
The WIX Racing filters are designed for thicker racing oils and higher oil flow rates (which come with increased RPM). While their filtration spec isn’t quite as good, ~60 microns vs ~ 35 microns, all of your oil is being filtered and 60 microns is better than no filtration! The Racing filter flows 28gpm, whereas the XP version flows 9-11gpm.
For those who do more street driving than track driving, the WIX 51060XP filter is a good option. The higher-than-average bypass setting of 15psi, and increased surface area, will result in little if any bypass as long as the filter is in good condition, as the flow will reduce as the filter gains contaminants stored.
The GT1R Oil Filter adaptor includes the conversion base, threaded filter boss adaptor, and your choice of WIX oil filter.

The threaded filter adaptor is female on the OE side and has a retaining clip to keep it together with the conversion base. Once installed, the base and threaded adaptor will remain on the engine during oil changes, making it a simple on/off filter change for oil changes.
