Thanks for everyone's input, I got myself a Greddy Filter and got it on. One quick question though, what kind of PSI should be running through when you doing around 4000rpm.. and what is the MAX psi I should be seeing?

I'm more then happy to invest in a greddy sandwich plate, but with 2mm (or two turns) of thread gone, will I still run into trouble?

Hi All, I recently put in my car for it's full service at my car dealership (who will remain anonymous for now) and along requested them to do an install of 2 gauges being oil temp & pressure since the service was going to do the oil change anyway. Car service done, car gauges installed, car turns on, gauges go well everything is sweet, off I go down the road. About 4k's down the road in traffic (Going very slowly) I hear a "Pop" sound that sounded like I had driven over something but I felt no force from the steering wheel or movement in the car. I check my dash to see my Oil light on, I check my gauges to see oil pressure had dropped down to 0. I get the hell off the main road and onto a side street. Jump out the car and duck under the car to see oil EVERYWHERE, pop the hood and found my oil filter sitter there on the steering column and the sandwich plate dangling there by it's wires along with alot more oil everywhere. I lift out the oil filter after it had cooled down and found the screw the connects the oil filter and plate to the engine had a good 1-2mm piece of metal still in the thread of the screw that it had ripped off from the engine bay. I call up the dealership who calls up his engineers who will be taking another look at it tomorrow. But for now, any ideas on what caused this would be great? Faulty parts, faulty engineer install, worn out threads? Anything and everything would be great to know. I was able to reattach the oil filter itself without the plate, the dealership guy was kind enough to bring me some oil, filled her up and is now waiting back at the dealership's shop to inspection tomorrow. Before the "PoP!"; Car - Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T 1996 Gauges - Autogauge Oil and Pressure + Sandwich Plate Oil pressure - 20 PSI on idle, 60-80 PSI in rev range of around 2000-3000 (was in traffic) Oil Temp - Still very low as the car was only on for about 10mins (was able to move the oil filter not to long after stopped without it being to hot) Full car service was done before the gauges. After the "PoP!"; Bolt with metal still inside Plate Dangling after pop Some of the wiring Plate More wiring Oil Filter engine bay with part of the thread gone.

Paid, in, better start cleaning the maccers out of the back seat...

nvm that! I'm in

Hmmm to come or not to come that is the question..

I second that.. Being on the SAU forums as a big time reader, not much of a poster, starting hanging around the central cost thread and got welcomed by some really friendly people and also starting chatting with members

Yep that was me with the busted head light sigh.. But that road home was horrible..

Don't worry, they can laugh at us both they are going to have to break me in as well

In and paid! Looking forward to this

Was a great night. Nice meeting alot of you, this was the first event I could get to for once. Sorry to D_I_F and 1 other skyline I lead back to the city... 70% of the way back was on this god forsaken road that bumped and juttered my car all the way back and gave me a hell of a headache.

Forecast for Friday Rain, clearing late morning. Sunny periods in the afternoon. Strengthening northerly winds tending gusty northwesterly during the day

The line still not back??? No fun.. Thanks for forwarding me to Jason, he did a bang up job about that milky stain. Had him stumped at first but he got there in the end.
