    Z31t Engine Oil Cooler Delete

    Did a VG33 swap on my z31, but the stock oil cooler has a bad leak. Quick question:

    Can I, temporarily, just block off the existing two banjo bolts (on the filter assembly) with regular bolts (and copper washers)? I've been furiously googling and can't find a conclusive answer if these ports can be blocked off or if they need to be looped.

    BTW - does anyone know how to get onto the old redz31 website? Whenever I try I get a bunch of virus webpages.

    Thanks so much!

    Yes. This is what I did to mine with plugs and copper washers til I installed the new oil cooler when I rebuilt the block.
