hey everyone i got my first rotary the other week and when i was servicing it i realized the previous owner put a sandwich plate on the oil filter housing for oil pressure and temp and my stock height oil filters wont fit, can anyone give me the part number for a short oil filter to run until i get a oil filter relocation kit? right now i got a piaa filter but i cant find the part number on it

Assuming you didn’t buy a car without an oil filter, so what’s on there now?

It’s hard to imagine a smaller filter than the OEM size…..

The shop in Japan that was servicing my car before I imported it was using R-Magic oil filters which are shorter than the factory filters but I used a Factory filter and it still fit with the pedestal. I don't know if mine would be thinner than yours. You can see the filter height difference in my thread here Restoration Thread

it had a piaa z6 oil filter on it but i was looking it up and its the same size as a oem one. it looks like the pro tec replacement i got is actually like 1/2" taller than oem

This is the oil filter that was being used, they do not have part numbers on them but you can source them from a few shops, not sure if anybody in the states sells them thought. Shipping from Japan does not take long and isn't reall that expensive either from what I have found R-Magic Racing Energy Oil Filter 6pc Set - M20XP1.5 68Dx65Hmm - RHDJapan

Post a picture of it. I live in Japan, I can probably go to the store an match it up.

mobil m108a with the pedestal from banzai racing to eliminate the sandwich plate and retain your sensors

When I get home I will look at the part numbers for you. I have some tall and short mazda filters. I had the same issue with a sandwich plate.

just change the filter pedestal and eliminate the sandwich, many options are available
